Really disappointed to be missing this. Never been to a FT Do and it looks great but unfortunately I'll be in California. Perhaps a sign I should finalise a trip out to the PHX Do in August. Bit more of a logistical challenge than a train into Waterloo!

They don't just block the seat next to you out - they block out a whole chunk of airspace. And enforce it with fighters.

Judging by my train journies to/from London this week the closest you'll get is Intrusive Standing. July will be even better - after all, height of summer is the best time to pack in like sardines (this includes First Class!)

Anyway, wont be able to make the London Do as I'm off to CDG that Weekend DJing. First time since Uni, so have managed to source some Gramophones and 78rpm vinyl.

I am in, Never been to an FT do so looking forward to it, especially as I will be missing the PHX one,
A more logistical question from someone who knows nothing about London or who only actually visits it's airports,
Which is the best airport to fly to / from ? I am coming down from GLA. I was thinking LCY in and LHR out?
