Scotland to Indiana
Myself + family of 3 (all adults) are looking to revisit friends in Indiana towards the end of May into middle of June this year. We did the trip last year using GLA-LHR-ORD with BA/AA followed by a 5 hour drive (after a suitable rest period in Chicago of course!). A look at current offers shows the same BA/AA route or GLA/EDI-EWR-ORD with Continental at roughly equal prices. (Have previously flown with CO and found their service to be acceptable).
There are however other routes showing up with some considerable savings (almost £500 for the total party) and I wondered which, if any, you knowledgeable people would recommend. The possibilities are:-
GLA/EDI-AMS-ORD with KLM;
GLA-PHl with USAirways (with 10 hour drive to Indiana thereafter);
Dilemmas appear to be:-
- direct flight from Scotland to US with USAirways but what is the quality of service like?
- slightly cheaper flight with KLM but I've heard some horrendous stories about your luggage not making the flight with you!
- would the quality be better with BA/AA or CO but you have to negotiate the demands of LHR or EWR?
- current BA industrial relations don't engender absolute confidence;
Your preferred options will be most welcome!!
Thanks.
