It changed to "Issued" on the 21st, I got the e-mail on the 26th and it arrived on the 27th. So just shy of a week from issued to visa in hand!

Yeah I love it over here. I've never been to Howell but I've heard that it's nice! I'd love being that close to Birch Run/Frankenmuth haha.

Ah I gotcha. Yeah he has a layover in Iceland but is flying from LGW to DTW. His POE will be Detroit as there is no pre-clearance in Iceland. (I was tempted to have him fly to Dublin then go straight from there, as they have it and their airport is lovely, but it was too expensive! haha. Was able to get him the "first class" on WOW air for cheaper than a direct coach flight with anyone else.

 

Ahh I'm getting so excited!! 3 days!

We looked at Dublin as a option also. Only heard good things. Also, checked WOW air and let me say....... Wow we're we shocked as u get up charged for everything.. lmk what he thinks about the flight. 

Im using air miles. Only cost $300 for the both of us (me round trip her 1 way). Plus extra baggage fees. 🤦🏼‍♂️🤦🏼‍♂️

I've flown with them before in their "economy basic" seat and they're OK, nothing special but alright when you're trying to save money. I think the biggest downfall is that I'm 5'11" so my long ### legs were like RIGHT on the back of the seat in front of me. But because he needed extra bags I just ended up doing the highest option which was like $600 I think but Delta's cheapest flight was like $900 with one bag and they're the only other airline I could find that wouldn't have a layover in Newark, JFK, or Atlanta. I love him to death but I would worry about him navigating a huge airport after going through customs as he's not nearly as experienced in traveling as I am.  I like the Iceland airport as a layover hub because it's tiny. I've had stop overs there at least 6 times. (I've been off and on living in Europe: Germany, Ireland, UK, since 2016 so I fly a lot, haha if you have any questions about a certain airline I could probably fill ya in)

But I do have to say their "first class" includes 2 checked bags, food, carry on/personal item, priority boarding, the largest seat, and priority security at LGW. So I guess it's just more peace of mind for me knowing that he'll be taken care of, haha.

 

Lucky duck!! I need to get a card that does air miles haha. What airline are you flying?

I have flown American and delta when going to England. Flown to Manchester and heathrow. I have American air miles. They just had a Black Friday sale on bonus miles. So I up bought what was needed. If u check with them or delta they offer a lot of miles when u first sign up. But, have to spend X amount with in a 3 month period to get the miles.
