Some more info regarding costs? How is the TLS LON flight planned? That sounds very promising!!!

By the way, SQ should start flying the A380 to/from CDG on June 1st, and there are rumours that EK would also fly DXB CDG in the autumn... with so many flights TLS PAR, it might be possible to get from AF good group prices for a one way trip potentially spread on a few flights like AF7791 to CDG on friday evening at 20.50 (A321).

Nothing is planned yet, but we are trying to get the arrival airport to LHR.

I asked a fellow moderator who has good connections at AF, they are not interested in arranging anything for Flyertalk this year. Supposedly because of budget issues..

So CDG is therefor out.

Hello tommy777,and all others involved i this...


A good friend from Norway sent me the link to this post,and i must say, i'm very impressed with the community on FT and the amount of work /detail that you've put in so far to make this trip happen.

This is my first post on FT,as usually an A.net user

I would like to add myself to list of people for this great trip,starting out at the beginning, wherever that may be ...OSL or CPH.... and i'll confirm on Doodle that my choice of date's is the Thur/Fri, although Fri/Sat is also an option to make this great trip work.

Any idea of the cost yet, and when will everyone be confirmed, or will some be let down..?

brgds

So if it works out the plan is for the SAS bird to fly us OSL/ARN/CPH (in whatever order) - TLS - LHR?

Does this mean those who need them can get tickets for XXX-OSL/ARN/CPH-TLS-LHR-XXX? That would be great for Europe-based FTers as one-way cross-border fares in Europe are often ridiculously expensive. Else I'd better start looking into redeeming BMI miles to take me to the starting airport.

Yes on both. You will have an option to only take the chartered DO flights, though.
