Spare a thought for the poor Brits stranded in Egypt

[Sir Charlie of Nicholas]

They're having to get on Easyjet flights.

I'd rather stay and take my chances with the Allens, tbh.

only with his sense of tact and diplomacy? Are they going to cut his head off with a fruit knife? :-(

[Classic Jorge]

Easyjet's too good for them, they should be forced to read the daily mail on BA flights.

f**k him.

Incorrigible bell-end.

cigar and winds up the USA.

Also, I cant see there's that much different between the forced labour camps and workfare tbh

[Berni]

That said, one of my colleagues flew out on the Monday and his was the last plane to get out because of the fog. The pilot apparently announced he was going to chance his arm by taxi-ing out to the runway and presenting ATC with a fait accompli. He then said that, once airborne, he would 'fly this thing like it's stolen'. :hehe:

Though it is worth mentioning Castro overthrew a military dictatorship - one for the interests of the few - and installed a people's dictatorship with proper social policies.

[Sir Charlie of Nicholas]

BA, KLM or Air France, City to Rotterdam. Bish, bosh, job done.

Avoids the Hades that is Schipol, too.

That pilot chappie certainly had a fine sense of humour! He made it up though.

[Berni]

[Sir Charlie of Nicholas]

[Classic Jorge]

It's only 35 or so minutes to R'dam on the train from Schipol, isnt it?

[Classic Jorge]

[Berni]

Also, it's ridiculously hard to find a bar.

[Herbette Chapman - aged 15]

pleasant middle-class folk with a penchant for archaeology? I need to know whether to sympathise with them or despise them.

Oh, and tell that salivating reactionary Berni that uncle Fidel was good friends with Che and The Manic Street Preachers so must be a good chap. I would tell him but he'd simply revile me for having once worked with my hands. ( you know the sort of thing J -humiliating jibes about pulling jobbies out of U-bends )

[Sir Charlie of Nicholas]

If they're on the Polderbaan (which they often are) at Schiphol you have a minimum of 20 minutes taxi time to the runway, followed by a 20 minute walk to immigration. If you're lucky, your bags may appear inside an hour. The place is an utterly dysfunctional ****hole.

Rotterdam has you through and clear in 20 minutes, tops. I use Rotterdam even if I'm visiting Amsterdam.

On the way there, I was off the plane, through immigration, had collected my luggage and was on the train platform within 15-20 minutes.

The train was delayed, though.

[Classic Jorge]

best airport ever, and also a really nice set of security staff who are very understanding about what can end up in your pocket accidentally.

[Classic Jorge]

It knocks both heathrow and gatwick (purgatory) into a cocked hat

[Sir Charlie of Nicholas]

have experienced the 20 minute taxi, probably more often thatn not.

The 'taxi' part is after the aeroplane has landed and when it rolls along on its wheels to the airport building, j.

[Classic Jorge]

Mind you, I usually got the 6:30 something flight

[Berni]

view. It's just variations of hellishness.

For instance, I remember someone telling me how great Changi airport is, but I still hated it. Airports are just awful places, j.

[Classic Jorge]

[Sir Charlie of Nicholas]

You think Gatwick's a bit grim. You haven't lived, mate.

[Sir Charlie of Nicholas]

[Classic Jorge]

For my money, Barcelona remains the best of the best though.

Make the f**ker out of marble, that's my number one airport tip

[Steve Williams - gay for Mark Knopfler]

You went for a 2 week holiday?

[Sir Charlie of Nicholas]

Good lads though.

[Steve Williams - gay for Mark Knopfler]

As has been touched on elsewhere I always found it a bit of a marathon.

I am well versed in ****house airports also what with flying through Dublin all the time.

[Classic Jorge]

[Berni]

days straight in order to save 10 minutes waiting for a bag and those who have some self-respect.

[PSRB]

got stuck there for 6 hours :furious:

[Steve Williams - gay for Mark Knopfler]

Some of these overhead bags are quite spacious from what I can tell.

[Berni]

cram them into already-full overhead lockers and then have massive hissy fits when politely informed by cabin crew that their 'small bag' will have to go into the hold.

Speak not to me of these 'small bag people', sw. They are the worst type of person.

[Steve Williams - gay for Mark Knopfler]

I find it suits my busy lifestyle and still suggests an element of danger. Anything less than 1 week is covered.

You can find them anywhere on the web.

In short, it's safe for us to be as invertedly snobby about them as we want.

Oh, and Rich.
