We're back. We have no luggage. It got to Chicago, but didn't make it out again. The plane was too heavy and they took some off, though they didn't tell us about it.

I feel only slightly worse for the people with frozen fish from their trip to Alaska, all packed and good for "twenty hours." They aren't going to make it.

I am so glad I'm not flying through Heathrow on Saturday.

It's really not bad though. As a preferred type, you probably could take the "fast track," which seemed at least a little faster (though it was for British Air, I suspect you'd qualify. It was for frequent travellers and people with small kids).

Boarding was a breeze. No big bags on carryon.

Most of the time I qualify for Fast Track. And I keep extra Fast Track cards in my bag, for the times I don't.

Fast. Track. Cards.

Are these forgeable?

Fast Track Cards

They're mass printed, so in theory they are. But not with home -- or Kinko's -- equipment.

They're single use. The airline gives them to First- and Business-Class passengers in the airplane, and we use them when we land. I just keep a couple extra in my bag just in case.
