London
Hopped on a United Airlines flight to London for the holidays. With the news going crazy about the possible weather shut down for the East Coast, my layover in Houston became a pretty popular option for other travelers. United had allowed for free changes due to the possible storm which made my chances for an upgrade to nil. So I opted to change my flight to go through Newark and guarantee myself the business class upgrade at the same time! At least my flight eastbound had individual TVs and power ports. I'm not convinced I like the plane equipment that Continental Airlines had and less enthused that the new United is embracing these planes. Perhaps it is just a transition period as they absorb all these planes from Continental. Landed into Heathrow Airport without much ado. In some ways, it reminded me of landing into the US. They don't seem particularly concerned at customs of anyone and I was surprised to see that they don't stamp you when you leave the country.
