The Football Gods must be looking down as I got upgraded to seat 1A.
Currently enjoying my first beer of this wonderful day in Heathrow.
Geaux Tigers!

Jealous - as an LSU grad in Norwich, I'm gearing up to pull the all nighter in front of my TV!

This is a tremendous thread and a bloody good effort from you mate. Epic, in fact. Please continue to update this thread on your journey. I’ll be rooting for you to make it on time.

Tell the pilot to step on it

Nice, also game will start at 7:19 so that gives you and extra 20 mins. Also, that flight will likely arrive about 30 minutes earlier than listed if it takes off on time. Good luck.

That’s what I was hoping for. Looking like it’s on time right now.
Thanks for all the comments & support!

We need an update! Did you make it in AGreatBrit??

Sorry - tried to do it last night but forum was locked!
Landed 5.51pm and was in my Uber at 6.07pm. Had a very amusing conversation with the whole border control team who were at first surprised I was travelling without luggage but then massively supportive of this insane trip.
Uber was cruising down I-10 but then the whole thing came to a stop by Williams for about 15 minutes as the whole interstate was shut down. I was freaking out. We were stuck just a few cars back from the motorcade. Eventually it got moving and we followed it the whole way to the Superdome.
Went straight through security. The secret service agent had a good look at a pack of mints I was carrying (Trebor) which I guess you don’t get here, but it only took a minute.
Walked into the stadium at 6.52pm (looking at the video I took) and got to watch the LSU Marching Band just a couple of minutes later from directly behind the Clemson goal. 10 minutes later I was i my seat with a beer.
What an amazing game - the most phenomenal sporting experience I have ever had.
Plan on enjoying New Orleans today until my flight back to the UK this evening.
Congrats Tigers!!
