    It's not that expensive to fly over to Finland from UK(?).

    Depends - direct flights to Helsinkii are expensive, but multi-hop flights are generally fairly affordable.

    Cheap flights to Finland

    A recent new low-cost finnish airline does fly between one of the london airports and Helsinki, so the cost of airplane tickets should be pretty cheap. As for guys from further up north, I think there's direct flights from Edinburgh?

    Weeeeell.. Maybe 2 days? From Paris to Denmark -> over to Sweden (1 day) and then with the ferry over to Finland (1 day). ;)

    We have flights we call "Stand By" and they are very cheap! It means that the tickets are sold just a couple of days before the flight, to fill up the plane. If you have anything similar in UK, it shouldn't be that expensive to fly over. But it is true that multi-hiphop flights are generally cheaper (though takes longer).

    I still haven't got a ticket to the Assembly.. Hmm.. Hopefully we get some tickets this year too! ;)

    Nappe1,

    should you (or someone else) start to plan something for the ones that will arrive to the B3D meeting? I have a hunch that there will be like 5 guys showing up, but that's ok. At least Patric said something that he might also come?! I don't remember if AJ was going to come..

    well, yes... planning would be good idea. Though seeing Assembly first time will be... hmmh... experience ;), it is good idea try to plan some other activities too. Right now, I have some ideas, but I need definately talk with some friends before I can cast some light on them.

    Worm, I'll be contacting you via private messaging later... I need to talk with you about all of this. :)

    That's cool! I personally think that good food & beer (lots) is the best start to get into the mood. :wink: But if you have ideas & suggestions, shoot them my way.
