This morning’s newspaper has dramatic photographs of the ditched US Airways plane floating in the Hudson River in New York – just what you want to see a few days before you set off for New York by air.
The plane hit the water just by 47th Street, the very street where my hotel is booked. One would not wish a plane crash on anyone, but if it had to happen, where better than just at the end of the street where you are staying?
It would obviously be very cold, and slightly tiresome to lose all one’s luggage, but BA will probably lose the luggage anyway. I would be spared the long wait in the immigration hall and the taxi flog from JFK to Manhattan. Quite what the hotel would make of it I am not sure if one appeared at the door dripping wet and without any bags. Just hope the credit card still works.
