Re: Re: Easy Jet !!!

Me again.

Can fly from Heathow with Easy Jet on 8 July to arrive at 10.50 to make the 12.00 noon transfer from trail addiction.

Returning 15 July departing 14.40 so would fit with the Trail addiction drop off time also.

Any thoughts

Andy

Re: Re: Re: Easy Jet !!!

We have booked flights with BA from Heathrow at about the same time. Providing none of the outbound flights dont get delayed i can not see it being a problem. A positive point would be, it would spread the bikes between two airlines, may be less chance of excess baggage cost. If you are not going to use the van/bike plan.

Re: Re: Re: Re: Easy Jet !!!

Note that Easyjet is Gatwick and not Heathrow....

Re. Van

I understand that BA have a fairly restrictive policy on luggage allowance with the result that most of us will be approximately 10kg over, this will result in a £50 charge each, each way.

Damon and I are happy to drive a van over with all the bikes on board. The costs are £500 hire, c.£400 fuel, c.£150 tunnel + tolls = approx.£1100. If all 15 of us take this up we are looking at c.£73 each, less than the £100 XS baggage and less chance of bike damage etc.

This is only a realistic option if all of us use the van, so let me and Damon know ASAP if you are interested.

Yes I am interested, especially seeing as my bike and box will take me about 20kg over
