in Manchester airport again - Rick - 10-07-2014 Am stuck waiting on another flight. Am heading to Oslo via schipol. I've only a 45 minute layover so I've sod all chance of making my connection. Still flights are every 2 hrs to Oslo so if the expected happens it's not a massive wait. I think KLM are visiting to many of thier coffee shops if they think this'll work. Still I live in eternal hope. Rick RE: in Manchester airport again - Kingy - 10-07-2014 Last time we (my brother and I) had a connecting flight was when we were flying to Madrid via Paris (CDG). Luckily we only had hand luggage. We realised on the descent when they were announcing different flights/gates that we had about 10 minutes to get across the airport. As soon as the doors opened it was like a scene out of Chariots of Fire! We literally ran through the doors, sat down and took off! Loads will have missed that flight. Still - Could be worse as Manchester Airport is not a bad place to be stuck in the scheme of things mate. RE: in Manchester airport again - Rick - 10-10-2014 To quote the famous song, homeward bound Oh yes i am. Am now sat in Oslo airport. Am Ok trip with no drama. Eye watering prices here though. RE: in Manchester airport again - Kingy - 10-10-2014 Glad it went well mate. RE: in Manchester airport again - FraserG - 10-10-2014 Example price for eye watering? RE: in Manchester airport again - Rick - 10-10-2014 2 course meal plus one glass of wine £68 1 shot of Glenfiddich £12 A shit hotel, no food £100 A 5 km bus ride from airport to hotel 70kr. Or if you fancy a cab 270 kr. That's 10 kr to the pound. So you do the math. RE: in Manchester airport again - Kingy - 10-11-2014 Expenses? RE: in Manchester airport again - FraserG - 10-11-2014 Eye watering is an understatement. With Kingy, hope it was on expenses and not your pocket Rick! RE: in Manchester airport again - Rick - 10-12-2014 All except for the whiskey. My company thinks more than 1 glass of wine per night is the pathway to Sodom and Germora. RE: in Manchester airport again - Kingy - 10-16-2014 Oy buggerlugs. Where's that wine thread? |
