Poor @KARFA and @LondonAndy have a few gatecrashers

@LondonAndy's quiet weekend in Sofia (SOF).

LHR - SOF
Friday 28 February 2020

EW9912 12:55-16:30 Cymro

Optional walking tour - needs advance reservation: It is possible to have a private tour through 365association.com (https://freesofiatour.com/). They will meet us at the Hilton at c. 15.00 (to allow for slight delays) on Saturday and will give a 2.5hr tour for an all-in cost of €130/BGN260. I'd suggest that if there are 10 or more committed to splitting the cost then I'll book. Please put your name below if you are interested:

Move along please - nothing to see here....

TIA Ł242 and SOF Ł240 - used the GIB voucher from the last do so they were effectively free, with some balance left over....

Are you booking a hotel or grabbing 40 winks at the airport?

Thank goodness you didn't choose T3 flights, not sure the elite CX pax could have handled another FT invasion without busting a blood vessel.

PS I do quite fancy a quick trip back to Tirana, to visit the Pyramids

I was really hoping there would be a do going to TIA, but my TP year finishes on March 8 and I might be pushing for gold this year (somehow it has become a possibility!) so it is just a few weeks too late!

Aha: two week grace period!!

you don't get a grace period on earning status unfortunately, only retention.

The fare is available on other weekends, just not the witty company of all of us :-)
