What's the point of being in LHR from 4:05 PM to 8:40 AM?
Doesn't that add a lot of taxes? What were your total taxes?

:) It's not actually so crazy... 12 hrs in Vienna, 21 hrs in Barcelona, 18 hrs in Zurich, 16 hrs in London, 4 days in Paris, just under 2 days in Venice.

My wife and I have both never been to London (or anywhere in Europe for that matter) and wanted to check it out. The taxes were ~600, is that considered high? How much is stopping in London adding? I thought it was only significant when stopping over just prior to travelling the pond.

I would guess a hundred dollars each.

Stops in vie and bcn definitely seem worthwhile. It's not a question of how many hours, but a question of which hours. Leaving zrh at 7 would be very different then leaving at 320. Lhr you will be able to do basically nothing. Really not worth yourtime unless you extend the stay

Still cheaper than taking a RT train to London from Paris, but I hear you about the limited hours. Problem is we're getting in Thursday night (and have to leave early Friday to CDG, so as not to have issues with shabbos). Would I be better off skipping the ZRH portion (was planning on going to Lucerne) and having all Thursday in LHR?

For sure. No way you can go to lucerne with a 320 flight. I'd say do either lucerne or lhr. Not both

Seems doable though. If we get to Lucerne at 8:00am, We will have more than 4 hours before heading back for the 45 minute drive to the airport. Not enough time to enjoy Lucerne?

There is definitely more to do/see in London than in Lucerne.

You're on a vacation. Not n army training session. Why would you want to get to lucerne at 8 am?

Because there are many beautiful places in the world and we have only a short time to see them. I don't know if I will have the opportunity to see Lucerne ever again, I will definitely have a chance to sleep again and quite often. Besides when your baby gets up at 4:30 every morning, 8 am is practically lunchtime.

It is enough time to do either the Cog railroad or the Boats, dunno about both.  Be sure to read my TR on Lucerne.
Save your time, I don't answer PM. Post it in the forum and a dedicated DDF'er will get back to you as soon as possible.
