Will let you know if I find something out.
Apparently there is some sort of "hotel hoppa" bus service from LHR terminals to hotels in the airport area, I'll investigate this a bit more and let you know.
See ya there!

Added about 2041UTC:

Ok, this what I found on the BAA website.
There should be a Hotel Hoppa service (726) from LHR terminals 1,2,3 bus station (central bus station) going to the Renaissance LHR, the service also runs to and from Hatton Cross tube station which is good for me
Frequencies are about every 14mins from 05:30 to 23:30 hours approximately
Map of routes here:

Tickets seem to cost £3.00 each way.. if on a *very* tight budget (e.g. meself) , but if there's no other way might just as well

I think this helps , well then definitely see y'all there

I would love to attend but alas my head will be buried deep in ATPL notes on that day, so if anyone would care to share their thoughts after the event they would be appreciated.

I will try to attend next year. I assume there will be one next year ?

Well I went in shirt / tie in April and found many people in smart casual, so that is what I'm going to be doing this time...

Should be there at around 10am, oops better go and buy my tickets first!

Anyone meeting up for lunch on the 8th November?

Best wishes,

Charlie Zulu.

I had been panicking yesterday that my tickets wouldn't arrive in time but then I got my tickets (sent second class, which seems to take weeks were I live) in the post today, approximately ten minutes earlier the optometrists had informed me that I have a muscle imbalance in my eyes that is outside of the CAA class one limits, so now I have somehing else to panic about
I've got my first ever medical in two weeks, then again I may not have, depending on what happens when the Opto bloke at the CAA decides, after my frantic phone call today!


Anyone else living in "interesting times"?

Hi All

Im off to the show also and travelling from Worcester. If anyone wants to share transport, get in touch. Id be keen to meet some people off the group, perhaps for lunch. Anyone fancy it?

Out of interest, im 29, close to finishing PPL and heading to the show to get a better idea of whats involved in a future career in aviation.

Cheers

The website says you can pay at the door!
If you want to book your ticket in advance you can ring 01225 481440 and give your details there. You have to ring by 4pm today though!
