Flying in? (6 Viewers)

[singers_pore]

This is a thread for all the overseas fans flying back to blighty for Saturday's game. I'll go first....

I will be flying in from Los Angeles, arriving Friday at Heathrow and departing Sunday. I'm staying in a hotel in Harrow on the Friday and Saturday nights.

Flying in from HK. Get there on Friday, staying at the Hilton in Wembley and then have to get a flight back at 10:15 on Saturday night! Going to be tight as hell if it goes to ET and pens!

I lived in HK for 8 years (Clearwater Bay). Greatest city in the world (IMHO).

Make sure you wear your colours on the plane.

Flying in from Girona because I forgot when the playoffs were and stupidly booked a holiday earlier in the season. Am very much in the doghouse for this decision. Arrive Saturday morning, leave again Sunday morning

Been here nearly 8 years now! Not as good as it was, but no plans to move just yet.

Landing from Geneva into Gatwick on Friday at 8pm. Staying in Shepherd’s Bush as bringing my youngest daughter to her first final and said I’d take her to Westfield too. Fly back from Heathrow on Sunday afternoon. Going to be epic!

I wouldn’t disagree. Why did you leave? Recently went from HK to LA which has to be one of the worst. The filth, lunacy, food, obscene disparities and homelessness. Hellhole.

Seems a lot of US cities have gone that way over last few years. A friend spent several months working in San Francisco, said much the same. Parts of it lawless and like a scene from a dystopian movie. Even in tourist areas he'd witness people walking into convenience stores, filling bags and walking out without a care in the world.

Flying in from Copenhagen and meeting the family there!

 

[theferret]

Wow, some real commitment being shown here. A few credit cards getting a battering no doubt. Safe travels to all and hope you fly home with a PL smile on your face.

Me too. Cutting holiday short in Spain. Managed to get a return to UK for Friday evening. Not in the good books!

Daughter and I flying back from Borneo midweek! Second game this season as we went away to Millwall. Would have gone to the first couple of home games but....

Flew back for League 2 play off final as well. Took my son to that, my daughters turn this time!

I'm still hoping that @edgy manages to commandeer a helicopter somehow and picks me up/drops me off again in Bournemouth on his way from Cornwall.

'Heathrow, its me, Oh Cathay, i've come home' ...............i'll get my coat !!

 

[Earlsdon_Skyblue1]

Flying in from Amsterdam on Saturday morning. Can't travel any earlier as I'm Djing on Friday night. Will ask the captain if he can do a Wembley fly by though!

Just need to get a match ticket now!

 

[robbiekeane]

Correct. let me know if you get there early and wanna meet for a few!

 

[Jcap]

Flying in from Singapore Saturday morning - leave Sunday morning!

 

[Dirk Turpin]

Flying in from Berlin on Friday morning, still no ticket sorted but either way I'd rather watch it in a pub in the UK if all else fails

 

[kg82]

Correct. let me know if you get there early and wanna meet for a few!

Will do mate, reckon I’ll get there a couple hours before your flight goes.
Where are you going to stay in London?

Flying in from Alicante Saturday morning to Stansted , having a couple of nights in London and then flying back to Murcia from Gatwick . One night there before train back up to Alicante. All costing a fortune but……

That’s fair. ‘70,000 US citizens die each year due to ‘substance abuse’ and 17 military veterans commit suicide every day!’ Biden said this in his ‘State of the Nation Address’ and yet in the U.K. that is the direction of travel. Hopeless.

I always thought the concept of gated communities was weird. Still wouldn't want to go that way, but the older I've got, the more I understand why people choose to.

Landing… then down the stairs

TV on, fridge full of beer.

Fucking booked a vacation for the day after earlier in the year. Whatatit

 

[Ashdown]

I think if we had all made that presumptuous ’ provision ‘ for a Wembley trip we would have jinxed us and we’d not have made it.

 

[Deity]

My son has flown back from Vietnam for the play off semi and now the final …. Flies back to Bali straight after ….

Horrible concept. I remember that Yank who invented driverless trucks. He said; ‘I’ve made three million truck drivers redundant. They’re angry and armed. I gotta build a wall round my mountain’

Flying from Abu Dhabi on Friday morning, returning Sunday morning... #PUSB
