We took the Gatwick Express from Victoria Station.
We left London Gatwick, onboard Northwest Airlines Flight 31 to Detroit, scheduled at 1:40pm but more like 1:30. Upon arrival in Detroit about half an hour early at 4:50, we went through immigration, customs, and the often overlooked APHIS. We then connected homeward. I took NWA #1869 leaving at 7:05 to Indianapolis and She was onboard NWA #1475 to New Orleans. My flight was scheduled to arrive at 8:13, but managed an early arrival at 8:00.
I managed to work my way through the second and third Harry Potter novels while winging my way home, as well as finish grading memos written by my students, so I felt like it was a good flight home.
