The discussion of the Alien series of films and the props used in them is the aim, but if it's got Big Bugs and Big Guns, then they are welcome too!

Flight prices are fluctuating. Previously, the best deals have been had in January. I'll make a post about the specifics soon. There is an email list which I use closer to the time to nag people about all sorts of things.

Cheers G, I knew you'd be on the ball as always. The more info I have the better equipped I am to deal with resulting arguments. ;)

No problem at all. If your circumstances change, you'll have a place in the hotels.

Yeah, I'm afraid not :( Believe me, if there is a way to make it happen, I'll be there...but it just doesn't look possible.

Thanks again for such a fantastic trip this year!!!

OK. The flight situation doesn't look great.

If you are attending the Munkey/Amy wedding, then I'm suggesting flying out on Weds 29th August and flying back on Fri 7th September (arriving in the UK on Sat 8th Sept). The wedding is on Weds 5th September.

If you won't be at the wedding then the Marriott is booked until Tues 4th September.

The BA sale has started and runs until 24th January. Before the sale, the flights were on a gentle upward slope, peaking at £650 for the wedding-inclusive dates.

The sale price is currently sitting at £525 for the wedding-inclusive dates. This is currently the cheapest direct flight by some margin.

Over the next week or so, I'll be monitoring the price and will update you. However, I'm likely to book soon - my happiness needs this sorted!

Thank you Gareth on the update of the flights.

I think that will be the cheapest that a pain.

I will be booking the start of the sale.

Just to be clear: The BA sale runs from 26th December to 24th January, and is "now on".

Sometimes a day makes a difference? Not sure in this situation.

G, if you need help sorting anything, give a shout.

I'll have to keep checking the prices over the next couple of months and hope they don't go up too much before I can afford to buy a plane ticket. In fact, if my general finances don't pick up in the next 6 months (believe me, I am working on it...) then I might not make it to D*Con at all :(
