Getting to Heathrow for 6.00am

[Kanda]

Getting to any LDN airport for 6am (except City) is a fucking mission. 2+ hours so you're leaving at 03:30-04:00.

Fun times.

Book a more reasonable flight or fork for the cab is my advice. Trying to do it is just stressful and winds you up and ruins your time.

It may be doable but do you REALLY want that much worry?

 

[Callie]

I do, I fucking love it.

 

[quimcunx]

Kanda you're talking nonsense. You really are infuriating!

When I was on my Serbia missions it took me 1hr 20 mins to get to LHR for 6.20am and was no hassle at all.

I found getting a cab to Paddington and the Heathrow express no more convenient but lots more expensive.

 

[Kanda]

You really are infuriating!

*happy dance*

The challenge here is the total cost/convenience of the journey. Component bits will vary. But possibly in an opposing manner to other components. Taxis at 3.00am for a cheap flight, vs. ordinary tube for a more expensive ticket.

We've only got half the puzzle. It's not solvable.

Go to bed everyone.

 

[dodgepot]

i'd go by cab too at that time. fuck fucking about with public transport with luggage to carry and shit.

 

[Callie]

I think she should ride Kanda like a pony to Heathrow

 

[Minnie_the_Minx]

Less useful for Ireland though.


What is wrong with my way, minnie?

Nothing, have decided though that I'm not going to save much money when everything's taken into account (especially if we can't get anyone to pick us up at the other end).

We only have holdalls. We're only going to Ireland for a weekend

 

[quimcunx]

Don't know why I bother.

 

[Callie]

Dude when are you going? sling us a tenner and I'll take you there

 

[dodgepot]

stay at home and watch father ted instead. or go to kilburn. or the white horse in peckham. you get a good sunday roast there.

 

[Minnie_the_Minx]

Dublin, Shannon, Belfast... where?

8.00am flight from Heathrow to Shannon.

Aer Fungus has a flight for £25 at 8.00am compared to Ryanair's £100 flight from Gatwick at 3.00pm

[Kanda]

When ffs? You're only down the road, I'd rather give you a lift than argue the toss here

27 August

 

[paolo]

OK, on it

 

[Ralph Masters]

I can get you there from Bristol for a pound that evening, Heathrows halfway there

 

[Minnie_the_Minx]

FFS

Just tried booking return part of flight and websites borked

They're probably hiking the prices up

 

[Kanda]

serves 'im right.

Thing is.. you know I'd do it

 

[paolo]

OK, 27th August to Shannon, here's what I'd do

6.15am start at Brixton Tube
6.52am Change at Tottenham Hale.
7.30am You're at Stanstead.

A few extra quiid for your Stanstead ticket, but now you're in good time for:

8.30am Ryan(Bastard)Air to Shannon, which is £35, if you can resist buying any on board extravagances like water.
9.55am You're in Shannon. Along with all the flights to Cork on divert because they built that airport in the foggiest place ever.

That's what I'd do. And take a marker pen and write "Michael O'Leary is a Cunt" on the seatback. Although maybe not if I was taking children.

Yes, but I refuse to use the Stansted line, there's too many signal failures

 

[quimcunx]

I enjoyed flying from Luton and actually much more pleasurable to get to than stansted. I hate getting the train to stansted.

 

[Minnie_the_Minx]

As it is, I can now book nothing 'cos the fucking Ryanair websites fucked. I'd entered all my details and clicked to submit to get my reference number and it came up with error message

I bet you next time I get back in the prices will have changed

 

[quimcunx]

fly from heathrow at 8am. Kanda WILL take you for 6am.

Make him do it, minnie! Make him!

For me.

 

[Minnie_the_Minx]

fly from heathrow at 8am. Kanda WILL take you for 6am.

Make him do it, minnie! Make him!

For me.

I wouldn't be so cruel. Maybe I could offer him my thermometer instead?

Well, pop up there and see how long you have to wait for a Shannon flight. Could be awhile

 

[Minnie_the_Minx]

She could go to Knock though

The Fungus flight leaves at 6.40am

Safe margin means being there at 5.40am

If Kanda's at Minnie's for 5.00am, should be good to go
