Fast. Elegant. But way too thirsty.
No, not me: Concorde, whose maiden flight was 50 years ago, on 2 March 1969.
I flew London-New York as a supersonic courier (pre-DHL, FedEx, email etc) for £150 one way. Even couriers qualified for a post-prandial cigar.

You may need a 1968 International Driving Permit. Take £5.50, your driving licence and a passport photo (of you, not someone else) to a principal Post Office – about 2,000 of them across the UK.

Not quite sure how it’s “weird”? The main airline for the Highlands & Islands connects its passengers with the UK capital (via Glasgow). Stornoway-Pyongyang - that would be weird.

Your passport remains valid as a European Union travel document, with the many benefits that status confers, until midnight Rome/Paris/Barcelona time (11pm GMT) on 29 March. Congratulations on making the most of it.
PS: in Greece and Cyprus it's an EU passport to 1am on 30 March!

The 3 hours is counted from the scheduled arrival time to when a passenger door opens on arrival. Unless they took an inordinate amount of time in opening the door, you do not qualify
Baggage: I infer you chose not to wait a protracted time. In that case, sadly you have no rights

If the airline is at fault then it owes you €600, and furthermore it is obliged to tell you your rights – and how to claim the cash.

Eurostar to Brussels? From 11 June it looks like services are cut back even further, to just 6 a day (Paris has 16), with a 4-hour gap in the morning. In fact, there's one hiding at 11.04am
But currently it's on sale only to people going to The Netherlands
