Hi Maggie
Thank you for your reply.
i am unsure if i will be going from Manchester or London Heathrow in November on my treks, its a northern thing you know, what ever works out the cheapest

found some good flights out of Heathrow and transit times are within 3 hours and with the discount from skywards if i book before the 15th september, It works out around £580 for the flights, Plus with booking well in advance, i can pri book the train.
Their is suppose to be a big theme park opening soon in dubia, but i think its delayed in opening!!! i did think about spending a full day in dubia while waiting for the next flight, but makes more sence in going from London.
How was yesterday with 2 A380's outside your house
