looks like i could get train down to edinburgh and fly to barcelona getting in at 9pm flight is only £35
or train to glasgow and fly into girona around about the same time same price
this leave me with a £40 taxi from girona or £120 taxi from barca and the £50 train fare to the airport

flying with BA is £190 flight but means i will be in around the same time as everyone else


fml why do i live in the middle of nowhere

Get it booked up one way or the other. A late arrival on Friday would not be that bad, you still have the rest of the weekend to catch up !!!!!!

btw - how is everybody getting from the airport to the hotel, any thoughts on that yet?

Still trying to think of something amusing to write in this bit.

Hi Paullie

I am booked to arrive into Barcelona at 15.25 on the Friday, staying at the Excelsior

I haven"t booked anything airport/hotel, could you add me to your list of potential shuttle-shares please?

ta


Nice timing mr tight, shuttle with us then, jack,petch,me,ger,you nice bunch



Book a big car.

Just told Ger about your request and he said, "Of course.  Tell the ********** he"s more than welcome."  

So it looks like yer in.   ;)

I think most are going to share a mini-bus taxi from the Airport Shuttle option I posted up in the OP. A taxi for one would be quite expensive and even shared 4 ways would be on the order of £30 a head each way.

The shuttle is, IIRC, about £12 a head.

It"s certainly my intention. I posted up the arrival times I"m aware of so people can co-ordinate a shared ride if they want.
