I am coming up but already booked the central travellodge. For anyone interested flights from Luton going out Saturday coming back Monday set me back £60 which was reasonable I thought.



LMAO you obviously didnt read colchester kevs trip report to aberdeen on blonde when he came up for the GUKPT last summer
if you havent paid for the room yet i would try and cancel and get into the doorway of the local shopping centre its much better quailty than the travellodge

How far is the casino from the hotel? Is it best to just get a taxi or is there a shuttle into town?

Trying to work out the latest time I can fly, im not a morning person LOL

BTW dont bother looking for flights from Bristol, they are VERY expensive. Heathrow with BA or easyjet from Luton are around £60 each way.

Flights from Heathrow booked ..get in at 13.15 which is cutting it fine I know but I am happy to blind off rather than get there earlier.

Premier Inn booked for saturday/sunday (with breakfast) @ £96 through booking.com

Looks like i am going to Aberdeen :-)

Looking forward to a hug and a singsong with Ironside xxx

FML I thought Heathrow was a lot closer than it actually is. This is going to be a major headache :-(

Airport website suggests 15 minutes in normal traffic into Aberdeen City Centre.

Where you going from, Bristol prices are ridic considering the poot selection of flights. Birmingham looks like a better option if you are going from Bristol and the surronding area. Easier to drive too that Heathrow as well.

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

the airport is about 10-30 minutes from casino (maybe longer during the daytime)
there is a good bus service with the bus station just round the corner from casino
train would be a good option is there is a service as the train station is next to the jurys inn
which is 250 yards from the international casino
