Rush to catch flight, wrong name on booking, airport strikes
Got a question? Our expert, Simon Calder, can help
Q Can I possibly leave the Birmingham NEC at 11am tomorrow and hope to catch a Ryanair flight from Stansted to Carcassonne at 2.10pm?

A I hope so. Covering the 140-mile rail distance between the West Midlands exhibition centre and the Essex airport in time for the flight is feasible – but only just. You will need to carry only cabin baggage (there will not be time to check in luggage), organise your train ticket in advance and to hope the trains behave.
