      • reosarevok checks Estonian Air, just to have a laugh

        that wasn't a lot of legroom even for me

        We’ll see, I’m going to ask a specialist travel service.

        • 2015-09-07 25038, 2015

      • reosarevok
        (maybe they'll have something cheap for the first time ever)

        • 2015-09-07 25050, 2015

      • ruaok
        ya'll know about that site, no?

        • 2015-09-07 25058, 2015

      • Leftmost
        I did not. Cheers.

        • 2015-09-07 25000, 2015

      • reosarevok
        Never heard of it

        • 2015-09-07 25012, 2015

      • reosarevok
        Not all of us fly ten times a month :)

        • 2015-09-07 25018, 2015

      • chirlu`
        They are paid for knowing everything about rebates, special offers etc. :)

        • 2015-09-07 25018, 2015

      • reosarevok
        How new is this?

        • 2015-09-07 25026, 2015

      • ruaok
        reosarevok: been around for a bit

        • 2015-09-07 25039, 2015

      • Freso didn't know about google.com/flights

        • 2015-09-07 25044, 2015

      • kepstin
        interesting. I could save a bit by bussing to montreal and flying from there, apparently.

        • 2015-09-07 25050, 2015

      • ruaok
        reosarevok: this is my year of not flying much

        • 2015-09-07 25051, 2015

      • ruaok
        :)

        • 2015-09-07 25006, 2015

      • reosarevok
        So, just 8 times then

        • 2015-09-07 25037, 2015

      • ruaok
        heh. :)

        • 2015-09-07 25052, 2015

      • Leo_Verto
        the other great trick to saving on plane tickets is by booking cheaper flights that only land at your target for layover and just hopping off

        • 2015-09-07 25057, 2015

      • ruaok
        anyways, let officially close this meeting.

        • 2015-09-07 25005, 2015

      • ruaok
        and inofficially carry on our travel chatter. :)

        • 2015-09-07 25013, 2015

      • ruaok
        thanks everyone!

        • 2015-09-07 25038, 2015

      • reosarevok
        ruaok: what's the budget?

        • 2015-09-07 25039, 2015

      • kepstin
        if you don't mind going to the US, one popular thing to do is drive from canada to nearest US airport, and fly from there :/

        • 2015-09-07 25046, 2015

      • reosarevok
        (apart from "as cheap as possible")

      • ruaok
        dunno. I kinda want to keep this summit more low-key.

        • 2015-09-07 25027, 2015

      • ruaok
        I may not really go out of my way to ask for support.

        • 2015-09-07 25037, 2015

      • ruaok
        I'll ask google because by default that means $1000.

        • 2015-09-07 25052, 2015

      • ruaok
        but we have $2000 in mentor stipends (thanks alastairp !)

        • 2015-09-07 25054, 2015

      • reosarevok
        Well, I mean, unless I want to hitchhike my way I'll need some support

        • 2015-09-07 25058, 2015

      • reosarevok is preeetty poor right now

        • 2015-09-07 25002, 2015

      • ruaok
        and we're not spending that much on lodging.

        • 2015-09-07 25004, 2015

      • reosarevok
        But not huge amounts

        • 2015-09-07 25015, 2015

      • ruaok
        and this is different from normal, how, reosarevok ?

        • 2015-09-07 25018, 2015

      • reosarevok
        But ok, got it, look for reasonable bargains :)

        • 2015-09-07 25026, 2015

      • reosarevok
        I paid my trip last year! In full! :p

        ok, fair nuff.

        • 2015-09-07 25036, 2015

      • reosarevok
        fine, *that* was different for normal, not this

        • 2015-09-07 25037, 2015

      • reosarevok
        But still :)

        I'll help as long as you sleep in at least one airport, how about that? :)

        • 2015-09-07 25010, 2015

      • reosarevok
        Do I have to sleep? Can't I just edit MB? :p

      • Leo_Verto
        Well, there's nowhere you can't not get to using the Global Trebuchet®, designed by professional Engineers*!

        • 2015-09-07 25029, 2015

      • reosarevok
        *might not be real engineers ?

        • 2015-09-07 25029, 2015

      • ruaok
        the acceleration might be a bit of trouble. :)

        Schiphol's quite nice

        • 2015-09-07 25037, 2015

        Schiphol is fine for 1 hour.

        • 2015-09-07 25058, 2015

      • reosarevok had 12 hours there once because of weather and can confirm it's not nice after 3 :p

        I mean. Yes! IT's going on, did we forget to invite you?

        • 2015-09-07 25057, 2015

      • LordSputnik
        I should know my dates on October 1st. Currently the timetable is visible online, but not official (I only have 3 hours of lectures a week, apparently). But right now, I have nothing on Mondays or Fridays, which is promising...

        • 2015-09-07 25057, 2015

      • Freso
        It's usually Sat+Sun, no?

        • 2015-09-07 25052, 2015

      • ruaok
        proper sat and sun.

        • 2015-09-07 25008, 2015

      • ruaok
        social hour/day friday. or so.

        • 2015-09-07 25028, 2015

      • ruaok
        but if people show up on thursday and hang out through monday, that is ok too.

        • 2015-09-07 25035, 2015

        gah, because the imported chartlogs have no value for milliseconds, there are duplicate messages for 28th :(

        • 2015-09-07 25016, 2015

      • LordSputnik
        That's probably half of Europe to cross, but might be quicker/cheaper than overnight flight

        • 2015-09-07 25045, 2015

      • reosarevok
        LordSputnik: we have to change trains to even get into Latvia :p

        • 2015-09-07 25002, 2015

      • reosarevok
        Yeah, it's quite a bit more than half of Europe :)

        • 2015-09-07 25010, 2015

      • reosarevok
        Unless you count from the Urals. Then it's kinda half

      • Freso
        Estonia is almost the furthest you can get from Spain within the EU.

        Oh, "A single ticket costs 12 Euros, and a return is 21 Euros" for the airport-to-BCN bus too

        is that "oh god no, way too much reosarevok" or " oh god no way too much, reosarevok" :P

        They only have two flights per week in the winter

        • 2015-09-07 25006, 2015

      • reosarevok
        So I guess they do get full

        • 2015-09-07 25020, 2015

      • reosarevok
        At least they're straight Girona-Tallinn and not some weird six hour wait in Milan

        Gentlecat: is it right that none of the papers are downloadable?
