IF ANY ONES GOING TO BARCELONA VIA THE TRAVEL CLUB......?

Post by Mr FINSBURY PARK GOONER »

What time does the plane leave Gatwick/Luton??

What time do you have to check in?

Roughly what time will we get back the next day?

and would i have to make my own way to the airport?

Its been over 9 years since i last traveled via the Travel club, but it looks the cheapest 1-day option....

I will buying my ticket today. :barscarf:

I have been with the Travel Club to Milan and Villarreal.

This is not the exact info but it is very likely to be close to reality.

Flight will leave approx 7.30am, always does, check in about 5.30am.

Flight will arrive back at Luton roughly 3-3.30am.

Yes you have to get to Gatwick/Luton yourself. For me (living in Barnet) Luton makes the most sense, it isn't too expensive to park there.

As well as being the cheapest (the only other one I have seen is the same price (ex match ticket) it will be the most reliable, the coaches will be will they say they will as they are official.

Definitely worth going with them.

I have booked with the club today as well.

No flight departure times available when I booked.

I'm not knocking the club especially as I have had some nice people sorting out a problem for me but I think they are taking the 'we-take-you-money-and-you-will-get-what-you-are-given-approach' to the flights and times.

I am just hoping I can get to Gatwick without it costing me a fortune or meaning I have to drive and therefore be sobre when getting off the retrun flight!!!

I faxed off my request this morning (needed to fax it as mate is using my son's membership), but not officially able to get match tickets until Booking Period 5 (5.15pm tomorrow) :( so will just have to hope that either:
- tickets/flights are still available by then
- they decide to process requests early if you are buying a package....

Bournemouth, Your having a laugh aren't you?!!

When was the last time you booked a holiday or flight with RyanAir and got an email saying thanks for your money, we will let you know when you are travelling some time soon or when we have chartered a plane???

when was the last time RyanAir told you the flight would run if there were insufficient numbers?!!!! (INSUFFICIENT NUMBERS!!!!)

When was the last time RyanAir told you that they might charge you more if the airport insisted that the plane was moved during the day?!!!!

Having said that I need deal with some very nice people in the box office this week.
