Good news - most lines are open on the 4th! Click here for more information. Only annoying bit is that the Northern Line isn't stopping at Kings Cross on the day, so people will have to take the Victoria line from Highbury & Islington, walk, take the bus or get a taxi from the Town Hall to the reception.
Looks like American Airlines is winning the airfare war from Boston. Prices are around $75 cheaper than Virgin or BA. The trade-off is no seat-back video, you pay for your drinks, and the Flight Attendants, no doubt hampered from years of cutbacks, can be a little surly. So if the heavily made-up Texan woman yells at you for asking for more peanuts, don't say I didn't warn you...
Alright Americans - no excuses. Virgin Atlantic is having a sale that takes in July 4th. Just follow this link and get booking. British Airways and the US carriers usually match the deals too.
