HOP!ping around Europe
Hi all
First post here in the AF/KL forum.
Looking to book a daft trip around France with HOP! for a few weeks time. There’s a few lease aircraft hanging around and the plan is to get a ride on a few.
Just wondered if any of you had any comments on how likely it is to go right given I can’t get it all on one ticket, unfortunately!
Any obvious flaws? Obviously all is at the mercy of the weather in January but the lease-in’s seem to finish at the end of January so it’s my only chance! I’m an experienced traveller, and will be hand baggage only. They seem to sell very tight connections!
The internal French flights SXB-TLS and TLS-NTE-HAM are on separate tickets to the others.
Plan is below...
Friday
KL1530 MME-AMS 0605/0820
AF1241 AMS-CDG 0925/1045
AF1292 CDG-BSL 1230/1335 (op by Cityjet)
Sunday
AF7036 SXB-TLS 1710/1845 (op by Jota)
Monday
AF5604 TLS-NTE 0825/0930 (op by Avantiair)
AF7058 NTE-HAM 1020/1220 (op by Trade Air)
KL1782 HAM-AMS 1445/1550
KL1537 AMS-MME 1630/1640
Cheers
Scott

Welcome to our forum 
I will just say that, for the leased flights, you cannot rely on which airline will finally operate it. They change it very often, even on the flight day. So, book and you'll see. You may be lucky !
