US Airways - Charlotte Airport

[Nostromo]

Thanks Cowboy (and everyone else). Just to clarify, US Airways use the Gatwick's South Terminal to fly to Charlotte and so the Hotel for Parking deals would be The Hilton Gatwick, wouldn't it? I could then nip across the walkway after breakfast to the terminal & check-in?

Hi Nostromo,
this may be of interest: Virgin Frequent Flying Club have linked up with HHilton Honors club. I have received an email fron Virgin that lets me join the hilton club as a gold member. Automatic room upgrade if available and virgin plus hilton points each stay.
We are staying at the Gatwick Hilton at xmas before flying over so hopefuuly an upgrade to start the holiday off plus extra points.
Let us know how you get on because US Air seem to be getting rave reviews.

Yup, US use the South terminal at Gatwick.

I can vouch for them as well having used them for all my transatlantic travel in the past 3 years.

I would definitely choose Charlotte over Philadelphia, especially for connecting. Philadelphia is a bit like the Bermuda triangle of the luggage world.

I like Charlotte; I find the Southern charm welcome (relative of course when going through immigration). I would go for it.[msnsmile2]

We went through Charlotte last December, much friendlier Immigration and a very nice airport.

This year they've moved our flight times so we're taking the earlier flight which is now later than our original!. This flight goes through Philli so we'll be able to compare the two
