nearest airport to JAE

[Kev]

anyone know?
preferably that will take flights from glasgow, but either edinburgh or prestwick would do

[Jem]

At a guess, Cambridge.

[Kev]

hmm, i thought there was one in northampton, but it seems not :confused:
how far is cambridge roughly?

[Jem]

About 35 miles.

Northampton is around 45 miles from Peterborough.

Not good doood

[Kev]

balls, was thinking it was northampton not peterborough.
cheers guys

[Parker]

How many's flying down?

[Kev]

just the 1 Tom

[Parker]

If they could get to Southampton in the morning (preferably early!) I could run them up (although that might defeat the point of flying if they don't like long drives....)

[Kev]

Nah, Its Kimberley has to work Sat mate, she wont be able to finish till 2pm, and since ill be leaving early friday....:wack:

so trying to sort a flight so i can nick out and pick her up:)

But thanks for the offer mate, mucho appreciated:thumbs:

Cambridge should do the trick then, it's dual-carrage way all the way.

Luton or Stanstead wouldn't be tooooo far mate, obviously a bit of a pain in the ass but you know, what you do for love eh? :wack:

[Kev]

aye mate, that and an easy life :wack:

most the flight places list luton and stanstead and even east midlands, but having problems with cambride, i take it its wee??

[arry]

Cambridge is tiny mate. I'm guessing Luton is probably the quickest

Edit: Having looked at it, there's not much in it. All the way down the A1(M) for Luton, or A14 then M11 for Stanstead.

Yeah Cambridge is pretty small, and to be honest, by the time you have driven through Cambridge to get to the airport, you could have driven the extra 25miles to Stanstead, and Stanstead you could be in and out of in 5 mins:nod:

[Sideways Danny]

Luton would be easiest, Stanstead about another 20 miles, I know the area like the back of my hand so piece of piss to sort out, might even drive for you so you don't need to worry about drinking

[Jord]

Cambridge airport is privately owned [by our company incidently:D] so commercial flights don't fly in there, only if your rich enough to have a private jet. :rolleyes:

I'd say East Midlands is your best bet.

that would involve the A14 and the M6 which is UBER-GHEY

You drunk? it involves the A606 mostly as a direct route or A52 to A1 at Grantham as an easy route to follow. But hey, I only live here what do i know :rolleyes:

have to say I can't say that looks easy to me

[Jord]

have to say I can't say that looks easy to me

I'd be worried if people couldn't follow two roads. The A52 goes directly East and the A1 directly south. The Eoe is a stones throw from the A1. Alternatively the A606 meets the A1 at the Eoe so you cant really go wrong.

Otherwise TomTom is your friend if thats difficult?

[arry]

small mini A roads with pissing about or 70mph all the way down to Stansted, I dunno

edit: in fact even RAC routeplanner has it down as 15 mins the worse as opposed to stansted and they only go on something stupid like 50mph average on Motorways

Getting to EMA is a pain in the arse from Peterborough (and I cant see how the A52 comes into it:confused: ). Best bet would be Luton, or Stanstead.

A52 then onto A1 was the route I'd chose of example if I was retarded and couldn't find my way out of a paper bag.

But the A52 is nowhere near Peterborough. If I was going from Peterborough to EMA I'd go A606 and then onto the A6006 at Melton.

[scimmy ben]

There are trains that run directly to Peterborough from Glasgow/Edinburgh, not a plane but given that you don't have to arrive an hour beforehand or drive for 50 miles...

Oh and its Stansted

[ZXSpectrum]

I will have to check if my mate is coming with me.. If not i dont mind picking you up at East Mids as i am going right past it.

[Kev]

looking at possible train instead, but not sure.
Ill keep the offer in mind, thanks very much ZX :thumbs:

[stumitch]

[Kev]

u wanted the Scottish accent, so i called u wee sacks as is common in Glasgow, as well as neebs, bawbag, mucker and many others:)

Stu, where u getting the info about the trains.
i can get her to Edinburgh for about 2pm.
what train could she get down to peterboruogh for?

Its a case of she wont be at JAE for the friday, but ill be nipping out from there on the sat to pick her up.
i recon by the time u add in booking in time etc for airports and the fact the nearest airport is so far out, might actually be quicker for her to get a train :)

[stumitch]
