And leaves you in Paddington? Okay, there's still a lot in the area, but
it's not exactly the most touristic bit there. I don't know that area
that well, you've got, what, Little Venice, Regent's Park, Madame Tussauds?

And is check-in two hours nowadays? I've not flown for a long while, and
they always say two hours when in reality it's often half an hour (not
that Urs should assume this - don't want him to miss his connection!)
