A passage to Glasgow

So landed in heathrow after a 12 hr flight, which was fine except that the man in the aisle seat was BIG and a HEAVY sleeper so spent 10 min trying to wake him up. ended up squeezing legs whenever i was awake for DVT was on my mind. Slept most of the way though. Realised that the numerous movies all run simultaneoulsy so i couldnt pause when i wanted. Ended up watching only the kiterunner fully (that too, missed abt 20 min as i dozed off - amazingly, even during my 3rd run of the show at the exact spot!!!). Discovered the presence of a snack bar in the plane with lots of chocs!! but, cldnt make my way through the burly man so had to be contented with the hostess's selection. shall explore it fully on return flight.

Terminal 4 to 5 was a 30 min bus ride, nothing much exciting. Was grilled at the entry point to UK as to why i chose glasgow, not london and even things like what parents work as! And at the security, all my bags beeped and had to unpack everythg in trolley bag. turns out culprits were tuning fork and water (from plane!). and then we had abt 4 hrs to wait so walked ard and saw snow!! OOH! lots and lots of tiny flakes flying ard. and the ground blanketed in white. planes suddenly having a white cover drawn over them. green patches turning white. AMAZING! little did i realise though that the same snow wld barricade me in term 5 for 9 hrs! yup. 1st 0955 departure changed to 1055 then to 1155 then 'pls enquire at airline, flight cancelled'. Got really irksome and then were rescheduled to 1510 flight but w some haggling managed to squeeze into 1310. Which was also rescheduled to 1410 and finally left the tarmac at 1530!!! oh my. Now by this time i was worried abt checked-in bag so asked before boarding the 2nd plane and was told that it has been loaded. i was seated right in front of the plane (seat 1A) for 1st time ever! haha. So that was the long long journey to glasgow. saw snow capped mountains along the way. beautiful.

And then at the baggage collection, no bags show up. a grand total of 4 bags come thru after an hour. so we wait and wait. and then see a long line forming at the BA counter. So there it was, our bags lost. was told that it'll be found in 48 hrs. sigh :( Finally reached hostel at about 1830 hrs.
