  1. Gary Mackay (ex Hearts) was in the Padraig Pearce pub decent boozer , even though it looks rather ropey in the back
  2. Evening Express claiming airport workers may go on strike 4am on Monday to 4am on Tuesday Keep an eye on the airports website for further updates http://www.eveningexpress.co.uk/fp/news/local/aberdeen-airport-staff-could-take-strike-action/
  3. i went to St Petersburg and stayed in the Ibis and they no trouble at all they build in a clause that if you get the invite and then cancel the hotel , they don't do refunds
  4. once you book a hotel, you get them to send you the "invite document" you need this for your visa you can apply for a visa via post to the place in London or go in past the office in edinburgh but you will be sending off your passport you will be able to fill the form in online you cannot roll up and get one , you can pay extra to have it processed quicker but it still took me 3 days to get the 'same day' visa MOST IMPORTANTLY the question "what type of passport do you have ?" the answer you require is TOURIST - do not put official, diplomatic or other , it opens a huge can of worms as i found out Oh and they will ask you to list every time you've been to a foreign country in the last 10 years
  5. Just had another email from Aer Lingus on this Nobody needs to re-route now as they're laying on a second plane , 5 minutes after the first one
  6. Surprisingly the guy said even if you checked in first there would still be a chance of being off loaded .... think he was speaking pish like
  7. ABZ to LHR @ 11.55 , LHR to DUB @ 15.50 - gets in about the same time as we would have going direct But i think they take any combination of the Virgin ABZ - Heathrow flights and Aer Lingus to Dublin , just mind and give yourself plenty transfer time in Heathrow. There is an earlier flight to Dublin , but i'm not wanting to be charging round heathrow for a connection
  8. They said if they didn't have enough volunteers then people would be bumped at the airport. Changing now means its not an issue as nearer the time , we've moved so its only 17 folk they need to get sorted with the time of the flight , if you wait and get bumped, there are few options to get to Dublin on the Friday , so you could end up with a few quid , but miss most of the weekend fannying around airports I didn't get offered any compensation
  9. i'll definitely be going , not been to that part of the world before i'm a master of powerpoint and paint , so i'm sure i can make an "Official Fotograffer" pass to get in
  10. I had the guy on the phone this week too He said the plane that is now to be used on the route is smaller than the original one planned and there are 20 people overbooked. They are trying to reschedule people now , so that there isn't chaos at the airport when June rolls around. The morning flight to Heathrow and the 3.30 to Dublin gets you in about the same time as this one anyway The sunday flight home is not affected
  11. Ticketmaster sell for face value , nearer the time season ticket holders put back their options on the games , so you get re-sell tickets through them too If you haven't booked a hotel , try getting one towards the ground as on night matches the metro will have stopped and unless you understand the mobbed buses, your at the mercy of the taxi drivers... and they WILL rip you off
  12. Dont get too many , I'm sure i only took £150 in March and had still a tenners worth left after 3 days
