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!

In all likelyhood, I won't be able to make this either.

I've been doing the math and £1000 for a 4 day excursion is absolute lunacy on my budget.

However, there are other avenues to investigate. All is not lost yet.

Aye. For that price. You can book it as a cancelable flight (still paying when you book) but that is £900+

I've booked my flights and it came to £292.80. I believe BA have cancelled the fuel charge on their long haul flights, which is why it's slightly less than Gareth paid.

D*Con ticket ordered too, so I'm all ready to go :D

Just booked my flights. :D

Paid by Mastercard, which levies a £4 surcharge, but that's acceptable. :)

Just pay for the flights.

They are going up.

I had to pay 295.20.

I know Gemma and Simon payed £292.80 so that £2.4 more.

I just booked the same date and times as Gareth as I know money will be tight this year.

Hint #1: High Velocity bar on the mezzanine level does Strongbow (flat Strongbow) and other Brit drinks.

Seriously, if you or your group need any indepth advice about logistics and airport -> hotel etc, get in touch.
