LAN XXXIV - Transport & Flight Thread

[Gortex]

Similar situation. Sorting out some holiday changes which might free me up for the Weds. If so then I could do the Gatwick or Heathrow run in the morning / afternoon along with a return for anyone to Heathrow on Sunday. If not going on Weds then I can pick up some from Heathrow on the way up on Thursday.

In addition I could also do a taxi run from March to Heathrow and back on Thursday as would then have an empty car to carry lots of large bags etc and leave my colleagues to set up the lan room. If this is the case then I might ask for a few additional pennies for the fuel cost as 4 hour round journey might get a bit pricey.

Another uncertain offer... :narnar:

In theory I'll be driving, though still need to hire a car, buy a computer, etc

That said, I should be driving after (early escape from Hatfield...) work on Thursday, so probably no use for pickups. Sunday driving into central-ish (N1) London so Stansted can be more or less on the way.

Is anyone able to give me a lift from Northampton Thurs/Sunday

[TeaLeaf]

Nonrthampton is right next to me (Milton Keynes), so potentially yes.  Pending my previous post, I'll be able to confirm something nearer the time when I know how Dex is getting to the LAN from Coventry.

Thanks TL

I won't be needing a lift after all thank you.

Hey so my flight options are:

Arrive Thursday at Luton - 10:10
                                     - 15:50
                     
                      Stanstead - 9:25
                                     
Depart Sunday at Luton - 13:00
                                   - 14:25 (preferred)
                                   - 16:35

                      Stanstead - 13:10

Let me know if you can help me out soon as the prices are jumping up.

Thanks

[TheDvEight]

I can take you/pick you up to Luton for petrol monies

[♣Rambo♣]

Sounds good mate 15.50 on Thursday ok?

[TheDvEight]

yeah, can you pm me your mobile number, when you want picking up/taking to luton and where I need to pick you up from (been a while since I went to luton airport) cheers

[Chaosphere]

Let me know when you have confirmed flights Rambo so we can try to sort a lift out.

[♣Rambo♣]

Flights booked i forgot about ryanair and they had better options and was cheaper.

Arrive Stansted Thursday 12:25

Depart Stansted Sunday 12:50

If anyone's passing on Thursday let me know otherwise i can get the train into March.  Ill need a lift on Sunday though probably with Albert and Duvel as our flight leaves around the same time.

Thanks

This thread seems slow compared to previous years.

/me starts looking at train tables

[Chaosphere]

I think a fair few people are still waiting to confirm other details before committing. Hard to know if it's worth waiting to see, or booking alternative transportation now. I'm not sure train prices go up too much (but I'm not a regular user), so it may be worth holding fire for another couple of weeks...

Alternatively, have you thought of hiring a car, Willy? There are 4 of you arriving at LHR at the same time, it may be cheaper than the train when split between you?

[faust82]

Hire car has been considered, but if someone is going past that's better for a number of reasons;
Chief amongst them: you lot drive on the wrong side of the road.
Also: being a passenger means I can drink at the airport and the plane
