"Is it available to take 40 people back to Kinloss on Sunday so they don't have to spend 12 hours on a coach?!!"

And just who is going to pay for the return trip? I know that the rail journey from the Covert Oxonian Aerodrome to ISK is extremely long (best way is by coach to Gloucester, then 1247 train to Birmingham, change for the 1400 to Aberdeen, change for the 2100 to Forres, arriving 2240), however I don't think that there'd be any way that your budget holder would stump up for a flight instead of a 10 hr rail journey.

Surely no-one would send an empty coach 550 miles from ISK to Brize to pick you up?

In the past I've certainly flown pax from Lossiemouth to Kuwait via Palermo in the VC10 - doesn't this happe these days?

Just a thought (since Brize is currently giving 22002KT 0200 FG BKN000 11/11 Q1020 BECMG 3000 BR SCT004), but what if the inbound flight to Cartoontown International were to divert to Prestwick? Would the muppets really try to send you all the way down to Oxfordshire just to board your coach back to Jockistan (a total journey of 920 miles)? Or would they let you do the shorter 230 mile trip direct to ISK from Prestwick?
