LON drinks and dinner 12th February 2014

[JessicaTam]

I will be in IT in February and thought I might duck across the channel to LON to catch up with the locals. At this stage I am looking at sometime between 11-15th Feb,which I will firm up as I book the different sectors of my trip.

I know I promised someone (who shall remain nameless) that I would head over at some stage, so I have decided to extract a digit.

Anyone interested?

I should have a definite date in the next week or so.

Any update on the date?

 

[Mal]

Yes, sounds good.

I am having a spot of bother finding cheap flights from FLR on (say) the 14th returning 15th. Any suggestions for a carrier to investigate would be most welcome.

 

[Mal]

Maybe a train somewhere then flight?

What would be the best departure point? MXP?

I will be in LON 10th-12th so if it's at the beginning of the week I'm in

Honestly don't know.

Nothing stopping us having two catchups that month!

And maybe another in March???

I have 9 hours in LHR on the 3rd!

I'm sure we can schedule one for March too

Do you have any carrier preferences?

Easyjet and RyanAir fly out of PSA, and Easyjet serves many airports in Northern IT.

I hadn't thought of PSA. I will investigate.

It's cheaper to get to PSA (assuming you are coming from Firenze). The eurostar italia is generally quite good (easy connections to Roma & Milano), however the train fare may negate any savings on the air tickets.

I am now booked PSA-LGW on the 12th Feb arriving at 1530. The train looks like it will get me to Victoria Station quite easily, so anywhere cheap and cheerful near there would be good.

I am staying at the HH LGW so I can just pour myself back onto the train at the end of the night.

Can a moderator please update the thread title to reflect the date? Ta.

I'm flying out of LHR on the 12th.

I trust that Team London will celebrate my departure with copious toasts of TonyHancock approved DYKWIA Liquor

Aaargh! :evil:

I thought you were going to be there on the 12th, hence my choice of date. Oh well, I am sure we will catch up in a lounge somewhere.

You made me second-guess myself, but according to my PA (aka Tripit) I fly to YYZ on the 12th.

I shall toast you all repeatedly from the CCR
