Oh well, now I must look into tickets. Jan 14th, is that any sombrero time/weather, since the DO will go outside the loundge palm trees?

BTW I see some risk of a sauna Towel-gate at HEL premium lounge and subsequent exportation from HEL airport and possible ruining of the LHR part...?

Now that I am booked too, I have some questions:

Central bus station - are we gonna take a free ride or does it require visa application at embassy?
Smoking area - anyone have good Havanas or do HAVE to smoke a Lousy Strike?
Fast track - do we only have a look on it or can we lowly peasants use it or is it just for upper class people?
Tube station - are we gonna post all this insanity on YouTube or what?

Regarding your questions FFlash:

Rides are not included in the DO ticket.

The smoking area is for viewing only as we are a healthy bunch.

Only businetic people have access to this but only before disappearance.

The management certainly hopes there will be no public tubing.


best regards,
DO management

Thank you DO management for making these things clear! May I only point out that
a) Visa application is done at the photo shop
b) Traditional DO smoking area excursions are only provided for personal contemplation, checking the weather and possibly for giving credibility to statements like "No really, I have been to <name-of-country>"

I'll be in too but I have to wait until next Thursday with tickets.

There is possibility that this my very first GB tour could be connected to BKK Christmas ticket somehow. But now it's all up to Mrs LGG and have to wait for a while.

Perkele! thats why I wanted to run my own business that I can go where ever or when ever I want but now have to wait Mrs LGG's boss making decision about December season who is working and who is not.

We discussed at the HEL meetup that we should have G&T(s) landside at LHR so we can honestly say that we visited UK. Sure we have a busy schedule there but I think we could manage with this extra item in our agenda.

So is it G&T at a pub outside or Napue+FT takeaway from HEL?
