I am doing my own air and going 5 days early, spending some time in Bath. Staying two nights after the cruise in Bilbao Spain. Air on united but have to take Lufthansa out to Frankfurt to catch united to sfo. Only one hour connection time could be a problem but hoping for the best . Maybe by Oct 21 things will be better. If something goes wrong and I have to stay in Frankfurt for a day or two, its ok.hopefully United and Lufthansa gates are close
