Actually, I will want a window seat to take cloud pics so you may still be in with a chance to get a seat in row 1 Yahillwe!

Please add me as a maybe. Never been to Jersey but have been intending to go for quite a while now. Would be a great opportunity (if work allows me to go)

Am considering this.. BA2770 over in the morning then BA2775 back in the evening. Would that allow enough time to participate at all?

I'm not a drinker so wasn't planning to booze on anyway!

1. Updated this far. Looks like 17 plus 9 possibles. Eeeek!!!

2. @ flashware - No problem there, it seems to me. You hit JER at 0925, and have a couple of hours free to sight-see or shop. We'll meet up at 1200 for drinks/lunch for a couple of hours (Lunch is available 1200-1430). Last year some then stayed on at The Bar, others went shopping/sightseeing, and sub-groups formed to do whatever in the evening.

According to FlyBe there's a bus:
Jersey Airport by public transport
It is also possible to travel to and from the airport by bus as there is a bus route between the airport and St Helier. Some buses have Wi-Fi internet access, which may be useful if you are travelling on business.

Would that be what I'd need?

I'd quite like to tag along, this would probably put me into bronze and set me up well for qualifying for silver this year. Would anyone be kind enough to guest me into a lounge?

Just so - the No 15 [double-decker] goes from outside Arrivals to the main terminus (Liberation Station, where you want to get off/on) and beyond. Our new bus operator has a website here - bus every 20 minutes, and I think the fare may be £1.50 or so.

Loads of info for you, and indeed everyone, on ThisIsJersey.

If you're on the same flight that I'll book I'm happy to guest. Alternatively the CE fare isn't too bad so if you booked that you'd get lounge access anyway?

Silly me, I meant into the FLounge

I think I'd probably do a day trip too, so it would be the same flights you mentioned (in CE)
