Ok, perfect. I think I put prefer 27th, so I'll book flights for that weekend. Thanks! Sorry to push. Trying to get in on these Ex-UsA fares.

No problem. Have just got some information this evening and it is good news - we have managed to get 3 x 747s and 1 x 777 for both evenings. This means hopefully everyone should get what they want. I need to work out the groups now which I'll try and do tomorrow.

Soddon, if you prefer the 27 October that shouldn't be a problem.

As noted, we have confirmed sims now. As we have 4 available on each evening one question is whether anyone is interested in paying a bit more and being in a group of 3 so you would get about 1hr 20mins stick time each rather than 1 hour.

- Cost per person for a 4 group is £425
- Cost per person for a group of 3 is £566.67

Could you let me know asap if interested. The default is groups of 4.

It is just a thought. I already have myself, @12939, and @flatlander in a 3 group. Also to confirm, no one will be in a 3 group if they don't want to be so if you have already budgeted for £425 don't worry you won't be paying any more.

deleted draft group list, see post 127 for up to date list http://www.flyertalk.com/forum/28614931-post127.html

Looks good to me!

Is anyone up for dinner beforehand?

S_W_S Jul 25, 2017 7:28 am

Looks good to me! :) Just waiting for my annual leave request to be approved now.

How do people usually get there from "the North", fly down on one of the services from LBA?

I have flown down in previous years. I am on the mid-afternoon flight down from LBA on both dates - I will be there the second evening but not flying.

Sounds like a good plan, I'll take a look at flights and parking tonight.

Where are you staying? I was planning on staying at the HGI. Since we arrive at 12:40 I'll head to town first for some shopping and then head back - I think.

Correct. We got the possibility of using 4 sims for both nights so I am able to use 4 on one night to fit a few more in. I am just waiting for two people so there may be a minor change before this is confirmed (it's possible I may need top move someone from Group 1 or 2 on 27 October to 20 October). But regardless you are in now.
