Urgent flight Cologne tomorrow?
I urgently need to get to Cologne tomorrow, Sat 20th Dec. Preference
is Gatwick and the obvious choice is easyJet from Gatwick 25 mins from here by taxi, but I was mortified to find that their bookings page says 'No flights'. Can anyone tell me the alternatives please, including Heathrow, hopefully faster than I can research them. Thanks. -- Terry, East Grinstead, UK |

Terry Pinnell: Bookings page says 'Fares not available', and a pop-up adds 'There is not enough time for an ordering.' Perhaps if you tried booking them via an actual train station or the appliable British site it would be different. I don't know. -- Mark Brader, Toronto | An actual human would feel guilt in this situation. | -- Scott Adams: Dilbert |
