  • Try Richard Branson? Hes very publicity hungry!

    Also try Airlines that are up and coming like Etihad Airways etc they fly from MAN they need publicity in the UK.
    Isn't the knowledge that comes from experience more valuable than the knowledge that doesn't?
  • Thank you for that suggestion, I've just emailed Etihad Airlines and I will write to Richard Branson soon!

    Have you tried Ryanair or Stelios? Try Coventry Airport too as different airlines fly from there e.g. ThomsonFly.

    How about seeing if you can get a coach to London and then hop on Eurostar and travel overland. It might be worth it if you cannot manage to blag a flight.

    I wish you luck. I once did the Heart FM Run for Home and we were dumped in Llangollen, we had 4 lifts, one woman wanted to chuck us out of her car because she saw some soldiers and fancied them so we locked ourselves in:rotfl: , one chap gave us a lift up a slip road (we were tired) and to get another lift we sent one team member into a pub, she came out with a chap who gave us a lift to the next checkpoint. We came in 2nd:j

    Don't wear heels, wear trainers instead and take a bottle of water with you.

    Good luck and have fun.
