have a look at the National Express coaches http://www.nationalexpress.com/home.aspx ... there are coaches leaving Heathrow at 6:40, 6:45, 6:55, 7:05 etc taking about an hour to get to Gatwick ... so depending on how long it takes you to get out of Heathrow (which shouldn't be long if you only have carry-on) you ought to be at Gatwick by about 8:00 ... which is enough time to get checked in for your 9:30 flight

There are frequent National Express buses between Heathrow and Gatwick. The journey is supposed to take 70 minutes, but could take far longer during morning rush hour. Leave the terminal building and board the bus as quickly as possible www.nationalexpress.com/airport. Traffic congestion in and around south east England is a real problem which varies in intensity from day to day; factors such as weather and accidents make a great difference. If you're lucky you'll make it but I can't guarantee it. If you like a quiet life and can re-book on a flight leaving Gatwick 2 or 3 hours later, do so

British Airways flies non-stop from Baltimore to London, so I do not see the point of stopping in Dublin. To book a flight for an unaccompanied minor, call British Airways. They will assist you. About pre-boarding, when the flight is getting ready to board, go to the gate agent and tell them that you would like pre-board, and they will give it to you (since you are visually impaired). No airline flies non-stop to Dublin from any Washington airport, so your layover won't be possible unless you stop in another city (like New York or Boston). If you need anything else, please email me! Good luck!

Travelling to/from Baltimore and Washington DC
Travelling to/from Baltimore and Washington DC?
I am looking to travel from Balitmore Int'l Airport on Feb 22, which is a Thursday, to Washington DC and back to Baltimore again on Feb 25, which is a Sunday. I will be landing at BWI at around 10 30 pm and hence will be looking to catch either a bus or a train to DC at around 11pm on Thursday evening. Then I need to get back to BWI from DC on Sunday at around 6 30 am to catch the 7 55 am flight. So what is the best way and the cheapest (safe) to travel to and from Baltimore and Washington DC? Looking to find out the time required and the fares. Taking a cab is somewhat too expensive for me. Thanks. How much would the cab fare from BWI to DC be?

Boy, you picked some dicey flights. There is a train station for BWI airport served by both MARC (local train system) and Amtrak. The Amtrak is much more expensive. Unfortunately you will be arriving after the last MARC train and MARC does not run on Sunday. If your plane arrives on time there is an Amtrak at about 11:45 and another about an hour later. That's it 'til the morn. For Sunday morning there are also 2 Amtrak trains from Washington that (if on time) will get you to BWI early enough. I have no idea about the busses but I suspect you may be arriving too late Thursday and leaving too early Sunday. If you can get your tickets changed without penalty to Reagan Airport you should.

Unfortunately the poster before me is right. There are trains that stop at the BWI airport and go to Union Station in D.C. but they don't run all that frequently. MARC (the commuter rail trains) run pretty infrequently and not at all on Sundays. Amtrak is a little more but they run more frequently. I think it's about $10-15 each way but it's cheaper than a taxi. There is ground transportation information at the airport's website www.bwiairport.com

Question about flying/airlines
Question about flying/airlines?
I booked a flight from Washington, DC to Seattle. I later booked a separate flight flying to Spokane from Seattle, which leaves one hour after my flight lands in Seattle (with a different airline). My question is- will I have enought time to get off the flight in Seattle, pick up my bags at baggage claim, check my bags onto my Spokane flight, and get on the plane, all in one hour? If not, what should I do?

If the walking distance between the 2 airlines' exits are close say within 5-10 min. walk and most importantly your plane of landing Seattle does not delay then you should able to make it. You should handcarry the baggage or else waiting for the luggage definitely takes more than an hour. If you must check in your baggage then you should change to a later flight.
2 :
Wow. That's pushin' it. All off this hinges on whether your DC to Seattle flight is on time, they get your baggage off quickly, and the gates are not on different ends of the airport. I would tend to have to day NO.
3 :
I think that is pretty tight because after you go through baggage claim to pick-up your luggage and then check it in again, you have to go through security. Also who knows how long you will wait in baggage claim just to get your luggage. I would say you should take the next flight to Spokane from Seattle.
4 :
its unlikely, airlines use a system called MCT Minimum Connection Time. obviously meaning the minimum time needed between flight landing and check in closing. My gut feeling is its too short, security will slow you down, of course there is no guarantee your bags wil be off first as well.. defintiely take hand luggage, and let the attendants know you are connecting, just before landing they will move you to the front of the plane, to get off first what airlines are you flying with? , although they are different, if they have an agreement such as KLM and Southwest, they will check you straight thru to spokane, so it s amatter of walking thru transfers i presume you are flying united from washington, check if they have an agreement with the other airline...
