good price!

I got mine for the same, from Bristol (have to go to devon first)!!!

Yeah, good price H. I paid £200 going with BA on Thursday morning til Monday lunchtime from/to City airport. Expect to see me on a Brompton, they're standard issue for City flights.

Thursday was a more expensive flight. Leaving City would have been perfect thought. Damn. In fact, would have even considered paying a bit more for it, as riding there would be eeeeeasy. Tube to Heathrow is a nightmare.

me too!

Meh, would have cost £110 more (for the two of us). I can handle the tube for that kind of money.

just sleep on the tube

Just realised my flight is to Barcelona Girona Airport GRO, bit further away, but was cheap I guess. 1h on bus to central BCN

I'm pretty sure I flew to GRO last year, was ~30 mins by bus to the uni/centre, which wasn't as bad as I expected.

Early Thursday morn till Monday evening from Heathrow for Spring Breakers.

I got the £200 tix from Thurs-Mon. Fuck yes Barcelona!

Just got this message from a mate in BCN:

You're arriving when the St Joan holiday is so basically it's gonna be loads of people going mental with fireworks for the night (23 or 24).

what thursday planes are you guys taking ?

thursday - tuesday..now find a sleeping place..

you guys got the bikebags/boxes sorted? Hopefully there is no bike delay and no damage!

"La revetlla de Sant Joan" is also called "Verbenas de Sant Joan" or "Nit de Sant Joan." In English this is known as the festival of Saint John the Baptist. This is the celebration of Spanish midsummers eve which takes place every year in Spain and Barcelona on the evening of 23rd June. It's a festive, noisy and fiery night!

Anyone looked into hiring an apartment? I think this is common for short stays and could work out cheaper possibly.

Tube to Heathrow is a nightmare.

Heathrow express is your friend.

They celebrate St. Jean Baptiste in Quebec as well, it's actually the province's national holiday.

Where are the courts in Barcelona?
