Poor @KARFA and @LondonAndy have a few gatecrashers

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

LHR - SOF

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:

In case anyone is at a loose end this weekend, day trips to LUX (from T3) on Sunday are available for Ł79 - it’s national day in Luxembourg so should be a fun atmosphere.

My OH earned their status thanks to 2 weeks extension a few years back, so you do get the grace period for both - earning status and retention.

Anyone else decided to do these trips in ET or are we the only tight-fisted so and so's?

Unfortunately the return fares from LUX have shot up to full Y/J fares, or I would have gone for this...

Something fishy is afoot.

The TIA - LGW flight is retimed albeit by ten minutes, and I’ve now lost my seat on the SOF - LHR - curtain roulette strikes it seems as there are apparently now no available CE seats left...

After the further email with the flight change time, the curtain has gone back to row 9 and I'm back in 5A.

Ba892 in the 29th is cancelled, I've been moved to 890 in the morning. Front 5 rows were already full so I'm in row 6 now.
