View Full Version : LHR mystery tour
lesarcs1 23rd May 2006, 11:00 Hello
Very unimportant post but I wonder if anyone can suggest an answer.
A friend of mine is taking us on a mystery stag weekend. All we know is that we meet at LHR @<hidden> 0800 on 22/6. We return to LGW sometime on the 25/6.
Any ideas where? Favourite so far is Las Vegas, but I know that you can't go there direct from LHR. But I suppose we may change flights. And it seems bizarre we'd leave Vegas on a Saturday evening. Any guesses...?

lesarcs1 23rd May 2006, 11:17 We did think a "joke" like that was possible but we're assured we are leaving from LHR - and we need passport and light clothing....:confused:
Mr A Tis 23rd May 2006, 11:28 .........sorry, are you on the right forum? Thought this was a professional pilots forum.
chippy63 24th May 2006, 08:36 Take a look at Jetblast, Mr A!

SkySista 24th May 2006, 09:40 Dubai? Ibiza? Amsterdam? Some other warmish stag-night central?? :}
cjhants 24th May 2006, 12:08 as stated by other posters, its could be anywhere. but to keep your dreams of vegas alive, i have been with AA outward LGW via dallas and back to LHR via boston, so you may be lucky. its often cheaper to go to vegas if you dont stay a saturday night, as a lot of the rooms are booked by californians out for the weekend.
Bangkokeasy 29th May 2006, 04:18 Given the timing of your days, I would guess that you might be going long haul east, by which you would get both Friday and Saturday nights, before crawling back onto the plane for return Sunday on a day flight. Not sure about leaving from LHR and arriving back at LGW though...
Let us know where it was!
lexxity 29th May 2006, 10:33 Which LHR terminal?
Globaliser 30th May 2006, 18:49 Presumably this is likely to be flying there and back on the same airline, to a destination served by that airline from both LHR and LGW.
BA to Amsterdam is what comes immediately to mind.
the_fish@blueyonder. 30th May 2006, 20:42 BA To Prague could be another option, they fly to PRG from both LHR and LGW.
Globaliser 31st May 2006, 09:23 There are more of these than I thought (including codeshares, which count for the purpose of this guessing game). From the BA website (the number is the LHR terminal):-Aberdeen - 1
Amsterdam - 4
Athens - 1
Barcelona - 1 or 2
Brussels - 4
Budapest - 1
Dublin - 1
Edinburgh - 1
Geneva - 4
Gibraltar - 1
Glasgow - 1
Houston - 4
Kiev - 1
Madrid - 1 or 2
Malaga - 1
Manchester - 1
Marrakech - 1
Newcastle - 1
Nice - 1
Prague - 1
Rome - Fiumicino - 1
Seville - 2
Zurich - 4On this hypothesis, one could discount DUB because you can't buy a LON-originating ticket on the EI flights concerned.
And that's just BA. However, to do the exercise properly, I suppose that you'd also have to list all the destinations to which you can fly from both LHR and LGW on carriers that will sell cheap one-ways, to allow for the possibility that the trip has been built on two one-way tickets on different airlines.
Given that many of these places are pretty standard fare for stag weekends, I suppose the short answer for the OP is "I haven't got a clue!" :D

Curious Pax 31st May 2006, 14:05 You'd need more than light clothes for Amsterdam at the moment - not too bad, but not t-shirt and shorts weather!
6chimes 31st May 2006, 23:34 Sorry mate, your off to Hounslow for a couple of nights. The locals are friendly and you shouldnt have too much trouble with the lingo........Enjoy
