Ok, I had mentioned this date in the proposal thread a few weeks ago, but I have now confirmed my transport to Gatwick and home from Heathrow, and so can now book my flights.
It seemed that a number of people would be about for the 1st, so who’s in?
As soon as I’ve got atleast a couple of people confirmed (asap please, if the flights go up in price I wont be coming!) then I’ll get my flights booked.
I would be flying up on the Jet2 146 from LGW, arriving in MAN at 0945.
Departing again at 1910 on a Bmi ERJ to LHR.

I currently have a flight booked home to London from Belfast on the 2nd, but I’m thinking of just disregarding that and flying to Manchester first thing on the 1st, and then spending a few days in my new house in Leeds.
The problem is that means discarding a booking and making a new one, which is a morally objectionable thing to do given the state of my finances :p

So that makes you pretty much confirmed then Tom, atleast from 7am til 1430? And does that also mean you’d be able to meet me from my flight?

If i am at work that day, I will be looking to get to MAN very early that day, about 7am, and spend a few hours at the Southside before everyone arrives! Will then have to leave about 14:30.
Ahem….”southside”….”lift”…..”your benevolent Moderator”….. ahem…. :diablo:

Mark and I are likely contenders. For me it depends on what Sir Alan S thinks of me…
By: T5 - 12th May 2006 at 21:35
I’m seriously considering it, even though I’ve got debts to pay off and the fact that I don’t have a clue what I’ll be doing at that time!
Hopefully, if my circumstances change, I’ll book up closer to the time.

Ok, I have to go out soon and so have booked myself up. So that’s it, I am confirmed and shall be attending.
If it turns out that no-one with a car does get there on the day (unlikely, I know) then is is easy for me to get on a bus South Side, taking into account my flight times?
By: wannabe pilot - 12th May 2006 at 15:56
Judging by this respone, would you now say that it’s safe for me to book my flights?
Dan – how are you getting down to EGKK? That is my main issue being in Colchester…. If I can suss that out, then I will try and come with ya…
I’m on the National Express from Stansted. I get free travel because I have an Arriva staff pass. But that’s what I had to sort out before I could confirm, cos I couldn’t afford to pay for the coach if I had to.

As long as nothing comes up…me + car should be there 🙂
By: LBARULES - 12th May 2006 at 09:47
As I said before, work dependent I should definitly be there, looking forward already!
AFAIK you don’t get complimentary inflight service on LHR-MAN.
By: bmi-star - 12th May 2006 at 07:59
I’ll be coming, though this might not mean i’ll be heading to FIA, oh well lol
By: wannabe pilot - 12th May 2006 at 07:42
Ok, it seems like some good interest. But no-one has definitely confirmed that they’re coming yet. Where are you…?
Also, does Bmi Regional still get inflight service from MAN-LHR?
