I really, really hope that this won't become permanent as I have no desire to leave my photography equipment and laptop in the clumsy and uncaring hands of the airport baggage handlers...
That's an useful site, thanks!. Hm, London-Frankfurt via Brussels takes 8 hours at £130, plus another 2 hours or so from Cambridge, plus transfer from Frankfurt Hbf to airport (another 30 mins or so). Only one change for the main journey, as it seems, plus the transfer to the airport. Not too horrible for a days journey and definitely shorter and less tiring than driving. About the same price as a flight from Stansted with a reasonable (rather than cheap) airline, too. A long transatlantic flight afterwards is probably not very comfortable, though. There might be an overnight stay needed.
I will have to look into that, if all else fails. Cheers!
