Help, volcano, stuck in Europe

Private plane? Apparently the no fly restrictions don't actually mean no flying so if you can find a pilot willing to take the risk (and finding a pilot who likes risk is simple) then you could get back here. It'll cost though.

Are you serious!!! This is great, you know this is how Richard Brandson Started Virgin Atlantic.

His flight was canceled couldn't get another ticket so he chartered a plane walked around selling seats on it to other passengers and just wrote virgin Atlantic on a clipboard.

(Apparently)

So now I just need a pilot a plane, and some money to put down. I will keep you informed if I actually manage to pull this off. Unlikely but i have F*ck all else as options at the moment so may as well spend my time working this one out.

small prop plane from le touquet to lydd

you are still in milan? TGV to Paris?

Are you serious!!!

Not as dumb as it sounds; the problem relates to jet/turbine aircraft as they don't have air filters, and to pressurised aircraft as the band of dust starts quite high, about 20,000' IIRC. If you can find an air taxi company with something like a Beechcraft Queen Air or Piper Navajo e.g http://www.lyddair.com/index.php , your problems (apart form the cost) are over.

TGV is booked out tried to get to paris already even 1st class.

Station is chaos, i will go again tomorrow at 8am (before its busy) to buy tickets there. if not at 9 called these people http://www.privejets.com/charter_request.php they have small turbo prop planes and small jets. find out how much and IF they wil risk it.

If not i will continue with the chartered bus to calais plan. And pray i find a way to make the final bit to the UK!

Also i am trying to economise, as our offices are short staffed because we are stuck here, we are loosing revenue, and income, and I am paying for hotels and food for 7 people. every day in F-off expensive conditions (bastards are just profiteering from out situation) and i will have to justify to my boss the expenses. and my decisions based on the information I have.

pffff I miss riding my bike and un winding.... am ever so slightly stressed but not letting it show, so as not to stress out the team. i am going to the bar for a drink.

i don't think "lfgss told me to do it" is a valid excuse.

personally, i think the chartered bus will be the cheapest.

If only.....

maybe this is all just a bad dream and I will wake up sweaty in my bed it will be Saturday my alarm is ringing and I am at home in my bed. Some how think not.

Well I am selling on the free seats to other people at the airport (at a small profit) to help cover the cost of my own team so it should cost next to nothing the problem is this only gets us to Calais. And not back to London. and this last bit is proving the hardest bit a bottle neck.

Have looked at other routs, like Holland to Hull, Cherbourg, Brouge, Dunkerque etc. all the same... maybe by the time we get to calais there will be more boats....

yeah, or just fail another invasion.

Swim?

fuck if I DID have a boat I could be making a mint.

If you could rent a boat in the UK you'd be set. you even have your first client right here ready and waiting.

Some flights are grounded until Monday, so there's plenty of time.
There's a video footage which might be helpful, you know...

toybota

helicopter?

how about turning up at the British embassy and saying you've all been robbed and they took your passports?

They will give you a piece of paper and say "good day, Sir"

they would issue us temporary travel documents, (plus I am not english ;) but some of my team is, maybe I will send them there.

Can't you rent a yacht in the UK? Strange. I've actually got the papers to navigate one, but never ever took one to the sea on my own.

not if you're a lady, unless they are rude.

Buy vespa's cheap in Italy, ride home (ferry - motorcycle not a foot passneger?) sell in london. PROFIT!

By the way, Polish couches have stop in Calais. They'd take you onboard if there's a free seat (and some hard cash)
