For other sports who do a lot of international travel the standard operating procedure is either at least two weeks or go right before the event and don’t let the body slow down. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’m guessing that means any first class seat has to sit next to somebody and everybody else gets a row to themselves. If I book a flight last minute and can’t get extra leg room I always go to the back row window. More often than not the middle seat will be open and I can stretch diagonally.

sherpa Posted October 5, 2023 Share Posted October 5, 2023 Using Virgin is part of the NFL-London game contract. Heathrow has an curfew, which this charter will comply with. If you get there before the arrival curfew ends at 6am, you have to hold and wait it out, by holding over the village of Ockham. That becomes an issue in the late fall/winter with stronger tailwinds. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DrDawkinstein Posted October 5, 2023 Share Posted October 5, 2023 Interesting theyre going 7pm to 12:30am on this flight. Thought they would leave a bit later and land later into the day so they could go right into it.

Some teams feel more comfortable doing practices at home and not take chances of someone from stadium with opposition team contact getting info on their plays they practice and which players seem to having issues. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

These A350-1000s are the planes with like 40-50 sleeper bed pod first class seats. I'm sure the players are all tucked away in their own pod. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
