2005 MITTENS OFFICIAL INFO AND ROLLCALL THREAD! TREMBLE!

[Chrille]

Well, let us know what exactly what flight you're going to book (a url would be nice) and I'll order mine as soon as possible too.

[Pumaman]

Dark Stalkey and myself just booked our tickets!

Other Brits coming, these are our flights -- but book ASAP, because the price has increased 7 pounds from yesterday, it's only going to get higher!
We booked on www.expedia.co.uk :

[Adamski]

Just as a follow up to this, we booked with expedia.co.uk and we'll be spending a day at Athens airport unless we can arrange to stay at the campsite earlier. It was the cheapest deal we could get and flying a day early means that we wont be too buggered if there are any delays.

If anyone wants to meetup on the Sunday we could probably find storage lockers for luggage and have a brief Athens visit, or just hang around the airport and have our own mini-mittens for 12 hours before we head onto the campsite. Or perhaps we can arrange to be at the site a day early?

Unless everyone decides to get to Athens by the 14th, we should probably stay in town until everyone arrives. I will have been in Athens two days by the time you guys get there. I planned on staying at the hostel again that night but I could hang out around town/airport with you instead and save 25 euros in the process.
A small night out is a good idea, as 12 hours is a long time to sit in an airport.

[Privateer Puddin']

I have booked !!!

[scotch]

<- I too have booked, see you there!
(I have a feeling there will be a problem with the card still, but I'll book again tomorrow if that's the case)
Edit: Tickets arrived this morning.

[m0ds]

I've booked too, and hopefully this time I'll get a window seat!!1  8)

[Chrille]

Andail, if you havn't booked yet, look me up on IRC and maybe we can book at the same time. Either way though, let me know where you book your ticket.

[Andail]

Allright, I've booked. They added 500 sek since last time I checked, bastards!

Chrille; sorry, I haven't been home in almost a week, and I'm in a hurry - going to spain tomorrow.
Anyhow, I'll be going out from Landvetter august 15:th, 16:30, and the trip is via Amsterdam. The flight is KLM, 1158. See if you can make it.

[m0ds]

Glad you've booked Andail - one question, whats your Brittens status??

[Chrille]

Ok, I've booked as well. I will leave one day earlier on the 14th and arrive at 0.15 at night. Wouldn't want to miss a day of Mittens ;). I'll be waiting at Athens airport together with the others who've arrived early.

I'll be going home on the same flight as you though, Andail. Atleast I think so, unless you're going home earlier or later than the 22nd. The flight I'll be taking home is KLM 1576.

[Andail]

Mods, I have to pass that one. As much as I'm a veritable globetrotter, my budget is tighter than ever this summer.
I hope as many of you as possible will turn up in Greece instead

[Nacho]

I was close to book today, but I had some doubts about the internet booking... I'll book tomorrow. See you there! (And Lore will too!)

[Andail]

Good to hear, Nachos!

But I seem to notice that

haven't yet reported any progress in the area of ticket-booking. Now is the time, people! If there's anything we can do to speed up things (like sending threatening emails to your bosses), let us know! We're counting on you!

[Chrille]

2ma2 said something about moving to a new apartment so he could be without internet.

[AGA]

I booked. My flight is slightly different from the other Brits, in that my connecting flight from Geneva to London on return is slightly different, it goes to a different airport. Apart from that though, we leave London, arrive in Athens, and leave Athens at the same time, so it's all good. Here's mine.

[Dart]

Dart going to Mitten status: still pending.

I just have to wait for a good time to ask my parents, which'll probably be when I get my school report card back (I didn't work hard for nothing!). So, we shall see. ^_^

[Grundislav]

I'm also waiting to hear if I got my time off of work. They told me they'd let me know this week, so hopefully I'll have my flight booked by this Friday.  I see no reason for them not giving me the time off. Fingers crossed!

Sadly, I will not be attending.

I simply can't afford the air-fare right now.

One of these times I'll actually make it to an AGS gathering.  Unfortunately, it shall not be this one

Um, excuse me... I will be attending. I will have to organise something soon, but I wont be booking my tickets yet. I am exploring other possibilities, including donkey travel, hitchhiking with a goat (just for HELM!1!) or driving when I get my car. Or train, plain or bus.
