WorldCon Helsinki 2017 - Attendance list p1!


Recommended Posts

Starting to get a bit worried about this airport queuing thing... anyone headed out through Gatwick recently? Is arriving there 2 hours in advance as usual enough right now (already checked in, hand-luggage only), or is it worth getting even less sleep?

For those who were wondering about braving the public transport late at night: I did not have any problem and got on the bus half an hour after I landed. Bus stops are very near the exit if you exit through terminal 2. There is a ticket machine at in the room for baggage claim and another at the bus stop that I used, I guess there must be others too.

It took about half an hour to get near Messukeskus from the airport by bus.

I thought the problem was departing Schengen countries to non Schengen countries?  Leaving UK is fine.  Leaving Finland could theoretically be a problem but I believe the real problems are in the big holiday destinations like in Spain.

Certainly no changes visible leaving Ireland.  I arrived a hour before.

Currently planning to meet Samantha at Messuskus around then and figure out some kind of plan!

there's usually no passport checks at all on the way out of the UK. they don't care who leaves the country :P

There definitely wasn't one in Düsseldorf. Which surprised me a little.

But it's probably a Schengen thing.

The weather is nice today... It's way too hot back home.

Oh yeah. I read about that.

We had nowhere near this kind of heat up here.

 

I'm waiting for boarding. Which is 1h 45min away. :eyeroll:
