in Manchester airport again

[Rick]

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.

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.

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.

[Kingy]

Glad it went well mate.

Example price for eye watering?

[Rick]

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.

[Kingy]

Expenses?

[FraserG]

Eye watering is an understatement. With Kingy, hope it was on expenses and not your pocket Rick!

[Rick]

All except for the whiskey. My company thinks more than 1 glass of wine per night is the pathway to Sodom and Germora.

[Kingy]

Oy buggerlugs. Where's that wine thread?
