JensenPark Posted October 9, 2010 Report Share Posted October 9, 2010 oooh. I think I just might have to come over this year. Get my fix of DD's. Wifey and I are hoping to hit Italy, so maybe I'll do Duxford then we'll hope a flight over from Heathrow. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
1. DDz Quorum FoolTrottel Posted October 9, 2010 1. DDz Quorum Report Share Posted October 9, 2010 No single rooms? I'd share a room with ya Friar... but, would you share one with me? Ask JP for details, he knows what nighttime near me is all about, he spent a good part of an otherwise fine night's rest trying to silence me...

JensenPark Posted October 9, 2010 Report Share Posted October 9, 2010 I was planning on having Sid hold you down while I smothered you with a pillow, but he started spooning you instead, so I just moved to a different room. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DD_Arthur Posted October 10, 2010 Report Share Posted October 10, 2010 Now you know why I declined Friar and JP's very kind offer to kip in their room. My snoring can move furniture, crack plaster, undermine foundations. Wifey makes me sleep wearing a full-face crash helmet! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kimosabi Posted October 10, 2010 Report Share Posted October 10, 2010 How important is it to book reservations early on this? I'm planning on invading your island next year, never been to England before, so I'm already rehearsing driving on the left side over here.

Jediteo Posted October 10, 2010 Report Share Posted October 10, 2010 I'm going to check with my buddy if he wants to split a room, but booking a twin some time this week. There are very cheaps flights from copenhagen to stansted, so I should be able to go. Anyone know if the holiday inn express has a cancellation fee, If it comes up earlier in the year I can't go?

1. DDz Quorum Friar Posted October 10, 2010 Author 1. DDz Quorum Report Share Posted October 10, 2010 Crash, Did you call the hotel direct on the number I put up? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
1. DDz Quorum FoolTrottel Posted October 10, 2010 1. DDz Quorum Report Share Posted October 10, 2010 (...) Anyone know if the holiday inn express has a cancellation fee, If it comes up earlier in the year I can't go? Via the Interweb, I can retrieve this: "Cancellation policy Your reservation for the Holiday Inn Express Cambridge Duxford M11 J10 in Whittlesford is an advance purchase rate and a credit card is required to charge full pre-payment at the time of booking. This is non refundable and non transferable." "Advance Purchase Full pre-payment will be taken for this room at the time of booking. This cannot be refunded or transferred in the event of cancellation." And, indeed, it shows prices of 140GBP a night...

Blairgowrie Posted October 11, 2010 Report Share Posted October 11, 2010 The new Holiday Inn looks really nice and comfortable, I doubt I will be able to make it this time but look forward to seeing all the great pictures. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Crash Posted October 11, 2010 Report Share Posted October 11, 2010 Just booked online £290! I need a roomie ! please At least we will all get in. The £85 per night is rate for 11 October Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
1. DDz Quorum Friar Posted October 11, 2010 Author 1. DDz Quorum Report Share Posted October 11, 2010 geez Crash.....I need to make a phone call tonight to confirm. If I get it for the rate they said I'll let you know. Well............... I have just come off the phone to the hotel. Not long after I made my booking on Saturday, apparently, following some comments from some other guests who were checking out from having stayed for another show, about them wanting to book for Flying Legends the owners decided to put up the prices. The room rates ARE £145 per night ............ We need to make a quick decision on this guys..... Do we try and find another hotel / B&B, if we do we need to move quick and block book rooms. (oh, and not wanting to upset anyone but I got my room BEFORE the rates went up!, so my original post WAS correct at time of going to press....Sorry.)

Zooly Posted October 11, 2010 Report Share Posted October 11, 2010 I have recently bought a 2 berth caravan so we will be stopping at a local caravan park if there is one. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jediteo Posted October 11, 2010 Report Share Posted October 11, 2010 145£? That is just insane! We are talking about a holiday inn in a little town in cambridge. Why would they be charging such an inordinate amount of money? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
