LHR-HEL run & meet-up thread
 
Since it seems to be quite some FT traffic on this route for the next weekends, I thought could be a good idea to have a thread apart from the general TP run one for questions and tips regarding flights, b2b, airport accommodation/pods, etc. and also as meet-up thread for HEL runners :)

Maybe a Mod could also move some specific posts regarding the HEL run/shuffle from the TP Run thread to here.

Move all those pods together for a BAFT sleepover!

Doing a run upcoming weekend (6/10-7/10) to set me up nicely for Silver after my holiday the following week. Hopefully those pods in the airport hold the sound of snoring in well - otherwise I suspect you might be able to tell which pod I'm in. :p

Careful though, if you leave your shoes outside of the pod, they might go walkabout at a BAFT DO ;)

If we get a Wiki going, put me down for 1st/2nd Dec.

I’m on BA794 1125 LHR - HEL on Saturday returning Monday on BA799 1710 HEL - LHR.

Debating whether to arrive on the Saturday morning or look for a hotel option near Heathrow as I’m on the last JER - LGW on Friday. :-)

I am doing LHR-HEL-AMS-HEL-LHR over the weekend of 9th-12th November. Hotels not PODs for me!
Are we going to have a wiki to list the dates and the flight numbers?
Does anyone know how to set up a wiki? (@KARFA;)

I am now on a laptop so have taken the initiative, and updated with all the details in the thread so far. I've made a couple of assumptions about people being on specific flights - do shout/correct if anything is wrong...

I'm also 9th to 12th of November. Same flights as WickedStepMother except for LHR to AMS on the Saturday (I'm on BA446 at 14:20).

Lefly Oct 2, 2018 11:48 pm

Mr. Lefly will have a b2b on 17/18 and 24/25 November, with the Saturday night at LHR. Some of the flights seems very full with CE reaching row 12.

And thanks for the wiki, I never made one and yesterday I didn't have enough time to work on it :p
I don't know if the "format" used is the best one though, as people with b2b have more than one flight in a single day?

I updated the wiki for you both when I entered my flights.

Sorry @Lefly I didn’t put yours in the wiki as I wasnt sure about them - nested returns and b2bs confuse me!

ifearn0thing Oct 3, 2018 1:29 am

Sorry, forgot to update details. I'm on the BA798 out (18:40) and the BA795 back in the morning (07:45).
