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.

Wow, it's so hard to believe it's that time again, you lot getting all sorted for the 2012 trip.

I really wish I could make this one..I know Martin feels the same. We will be back in 2013!! That's a promise!!

MORE CHEESECAKE MADNESS!

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.

Cheer's Steve

Thanks Gareth.

I'll be booking after 20th January, again!

One small correction... Wedding set for September 5th, Wednesday.

OK. Fixed. I should have asked you ...

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

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

Starts today and I thought it was the January sales so the 1st of January.

Blooy hell.

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
