No, it's just a coincidence that the day you ordered your suits I'm looking for tickets. I promise. All the money I make from skydiving goes directly to my Jackson Pollock art collection! (Now I just need to figure out why I have no art and I'm good to go!) Seriously, you guys did great out of the PAC. You've both come a long way since FlocKZN earlier this year, and will be rocking by the time your suits arrive. tIt's the year of the Pig. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

jakee 1,489 #186 November 13, 2006 Hey, just a thought (could be totally wrong) might it be cheaper for you guys to fly into London then get a Ryanair cheapo into Germany? Might be more airlines competing on flight prices to Heathrow/Gatwick.Do you want to have an ideagasm? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
LouDiamond 1 #187 November 13, 2006 QuoteHey, just a thought (could be totally wrong) might it be cheaper for you guys to fly into London then get a Ryanair cheapo into Germany? Might be more airlines competing on flight prices to Heathrow/Gatwick. Good advice. It was cheaper for me to fly to the UK first and do Ryan air into Germany than to go direct from the USA to Germany. Plus I got to hang out with the Brits, drink their beer and watch their women forcefully remove chest hair in the shape of a Birdman from one of the local Birdmen. Quite the anthropological experience. One thing to keep in mind though, Ryan air has the most absolute minimal service I think there is in the airline industry. The only reason I think there are seats in the cabin is because Law requires it.The check in people and the screeners before the security check points are extremely anal about the weight limitations of baggage and carry ons. However, the roundtrip fare from the UK and return cannot be beat ( I think it was $80 US).If you've never flown Ryan air before I suggest you hook up with a Brit and get some pointers as the whole check in, boarding process,seating is just short of pure anarchy."It's just skydiving..additional drama is not required" Some people dream about flying, I live my dream SKYMONKEY PUBLISHING Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Quite the anthropological experience. besides the anthropological experience, was the difference in price worth the hassle of flying RyanAir ? With this KLM option, they have.. 1 airline, 1 check in, guaranteed connections etc etc.. The only change I would personnally do on this itinerary is arrange for a longer stop in AMS in order to discover their local particularities Now I have a hesitation, direct flight with EasyJet to Berlin or a flight via AMS to join the south africans and fly together from AMS to HAJscissors beat paper, paper beat rock, rock beat wingsuit - KarlM Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
mccordia 74 #189 November 13, 2006 Even though its far away. We've got a few places to hide tourists here, so coming to Holland a week early, doing some pre-jumping in Belgium, and then driving to Germany with us (there's a whole bunch of Dutch guys in cars heading to Cochstedt) then just drop us a line. We could make it a small pre-boogie at Schaffen in the week leading up to the biggest wingsuit event ever!JC FlyLikeBrick I'm an Athlete? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

We have 1 caravan and if i know in advance how many people are comming we can have a porter or a second caravan on standby.

saly 0 #192 November 13, 2006 I like the thought about getting to Holland (place of my ancestors) and doing some pre boogie calibration in Europe. Only budget constraints as our currency (i.e. $$$$ and not recent jumps) is not the strongest. --------------------------------------------- If you don't have wings you will never fly Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

LouDiamond 1 #196 November 13, 2006 Quotewas the difference in price worth the hassle of flying RyanAir ? IMO, yes. It wasn't what I'd call one of my biggest air travel hassles by far, it's just different. The savings was also substantial by almost $1000 US. So the $80 round trip to the UK was the way to go,plus I got to see how the heathens live.
