LAN XL - Transport & Flight Thread

[Chaosphere]

Post here if you need a lift to the LAN, or flight details if you need pickup from an Airport. The main London ones are usually best, if possible. We will do our best to sort you out!

Change of plan for Duv and I. Easyjet cancelld the return flight and put one on at 8am which ain't gonna happen.

So we are now flying into East Midlands Airport, Gunda has kindly offered to drop us off on the Sunday therefore we do still require a pickup on Thursday.

Is anyone travelling up from/via London with some space I could occupy?

Hire car prices are a little bit nuts at the moment so I was considering risking the train(strikes) and they can be a little complex. I'm based in N1/Islington and I can get to somewhere to link up.

If it sounds like even a vague possibility please drop me a message - my timing should be relatively flexible.

Dude!!! Thanks. We're stuck for a lift from East Midlands Airport to March on Thursday 6th. Landing around 2pm so safe pickup is probably 2.30-3pm.

If that's possible, let me know.

:w00t2::rockon::toast: Hiya FatBob, this would be awesome and really help us out if possible.

[FatBob]

No Problems - all good with me see ya there - how much luggage ya got ? (depends on being picked up in the batmobile or in the wife's focus tractor )

[albert]

A couple of small backpacks and a small holdall at most between the two of us. Depends on what people want smuggled into post-brxit Angerland

Duv it pretty tall though, and I'm a bit chunky.

NB happy to pay for the pleasure :flirty: ... of not having to take a train! Can be in beers or cash (trains start from something like £25 each way)

[albert]

Fatob has kindly offered to pick Duvel and Albert up from East Midlands Airport. This is very kind but I would rather not put someone out of their way to this extent since FB lives in March and that's a hell of a round trip to make.

So our request still stands, is anyone passing from the North can fit two people with very little luggage into their car for the trip from just South of Nottingham to March? Of crouse we'd pay our petrol costs and a few beers. Thanks

So.. I have a question for the natives..  We are landing at Heathrow at 20:55 on Wednesday, and from googling a bit the easiest way to get there at that time of day would be with a taxi, and while it's not cheap (170£), it does get us there faster with much less hassle than taking the tube to London, train to Peterborough and taxi to March. I found a firm out of Peterborough, aptly named The Taxi Firm, and they look above board. But are there other firms we should check out?

Also we are looking for transport back down towards London on Sunday if possible, Januz is keen on getting tickets to Arsenal - Liverpool as we are staying the night in London before leaving on Monday morning.

[Chaosphere]

I'd maybe look at renting a car?

A quick look on Europcar revealed a cost of around £220 for a rental from Wednesday to Monday.

Gives you a bit more flexibility for the way back, too.
