    13.05 from Belfast, there is a cheaper one later in the day but I thought I'd rather not hit Heathrow/Paddington train station at rush hour plus we have to check out of the hotel by 12 anyway.
    It's with BMI, it worked out cheaper than some of the other airlines when you added in all the things like credit card charges, baggage etc that they charged for. It was £45 including all taxes and charges.

    Outbound: Belfast City (BHD) to London Heathrow (LHR)

    Thursday, 24 June 2010
    Depart Arrive Duration Flight Carrier
    13:05 BHD 14:25 LHR 01:20h BD87 BD TOWBMI

    Decisions I still need to make are whether to go to Dublin on the Sunday (easier to get a friend or a member of my family to drop me to the airport as they will all be working on Monday), where to stay in London, flights or travel between Berlin and Arras... and I'm still thinking about Nijmegen!!

    Cool I'll have a look at that one, my Dad mentioned The Rhodes Hotel which is really near both Paddington and Hyde Park. He's stayed there before for the rugby and had a good time...it's run by a Greek family!!

    I've been pondering luggage as well. Especially as there are loads of sales on at the minute.
    i can't go home at any point between the shows really as Cornwall is just too far away. I've got a hard case but it's seen a few miles and is not the easiest thing to maneuver, but it is serviceable and robust. I was thinking of getting a Jansport type bag, on wheels but a big duffle or something...never had to think about things like this before really.

    yeah im not to going to get front row for any of the festivals so i dont need to worry about having it at the front... but for the normal shows im going to try but atm the way i've done it i can leave my bag at my hostel (thanks for the beauty of the number system which will help in belfast), actually for nijmegen i may not have to carry it around... i presume there will be cloak rooms at festivals anyhow.

    How many shows are you doing?

    At the minute, Belfast - Dublin - London - Berlin - Arras
    ...but I may add Nijmegen and if and when we hear anything July 6th, as I don't have to be back in work until 12th July.

    So, my bag will not be going near a show as I am in hotels for the night before and the night of the gig, checking out the day after...

    don't know for sure yet, but one of the Hostels in the center. The venue is way too far off from anything ;) And i'll be in Berlin from 29th to 1. of Juli (maybe even 2. July) so i want a better located place to stay, close to whatever :)
