Monitor Flight Status: Regularly check the status of your flight for any updates or changes.
Consider Alternative Airports: Explore flights departing from other nearby airports, such as John F. Kennedy International Airport (JFK) or LaGuardia Airport (LGA), which may offer more reliable schedules.
Plan for Delays: Allow extra time for potential delays and consider purchasing travel insurance to cover unexpected changes.
Stay Informed: Keep abreast of any announcements from your airline regarding schedule adjustments or cancellations.
Transportation: As part of the cost of the trip, FDU will be providing transportation from Heathrow to Wroxton College for the group departing at 9:00am from the ‘meeting point’ shared in the itinerary. Due to Heathrow Airport security policies, all bus pick-ups must be confirmed and connected to a specific flight. In this case, UA16. If there is any delay with the suggest Newark Flight, UA16, the pick-up bus will be delayed as well. If this occurs, we will communicate with travelers via email of the updated pick-up time.
