Open Question: From London, UK to the Tuscany region in Italy?
I will stay in London, UK and then I am planning to visit Pienza, San Gimignano, Siena, Assisi, and Val d'Orcia area for pleasure.
I checked British Airways and Alitalia routes but still not very clear... :(
From Milan, I don't feel right as it is a bit too far.
From Rome, I don't feel right either as it is a bit too far.
From Pisa, there is a route but it is still too far from the Tuscany region.
Strangely, there is no route between London and Florence either by British or Alitalia... I wonder why? I further wonder if there is any airport in Florence...
Please could someone kindly advise me?

The Mother is confused but finally noticed a Maxwell coffee ad, which said -
"SATISFACTION TO THE LAST DROP...."

The second daughter wrote " Gold Flake."
So the Mother looks for the Gold Flake ad, and it says -
"LIVE LIFE, KING SIZE."
And Mother is happy

Resolved Question: Can I request a free re-booking if my airline re-booked a canceled flight with excess connections?
Details: British Airways, I paid for a non-stop international flight with one stopover in London. This original flight was canceled by BA, which offered a free re-booking. I requested that they rebook my flight to a new date, but when they did so, they added an extra stopover in the middle of the night in an unfamiliar, possibly dangerous city (terrorism).
Since I paid originally for a nonstop flight and was unaware that my re-booking would include this new connection (they simply said, yes ma'am we can change it to this new date), AND since the connection is through a city I don't feel comfortable flying through given recent terrorist events, can I legitimately request for a free re-booking to a non-stop flight?
They also did not send a confirmation e-mail re: the new booking; I logged into my account online and discovered the multiple-connection re-booking.
