That the 0415 one ?
Naw - the afternoon/evening one out of Edinburgh then the 21.30 on the Wednesday
-
booking.com does have the hotels on sale but only on the app (I'm using Android and its on there but pal got iPhone and not on there!)
We've booked the Tuesday flight from Edinburgh and the connecting flight on the Wednesday to Tbilisi, so we've got a night/day to have a look around
Back on the Sunday

How long do you have between flights? If its over night, Turkish Airlines put you up free for the night. Number of folk used this option for Macedonia last year and heard that it was some top notch hotels they got put up in.
If there is another flight connection that is less of a connection time than the one you have booked, then you are not entitled to the overnight hotel (That's what they've told me when I was looking at this but we've decided on a stopover of nearly 24 hours so we can see a bit of Istanbul on the Tuesday night - hotel at our cost, plus is not at the airport which is where 'the free' one would be)

However, its not their first 'system error' of recent times:
Georgia home tickets - the link was available before the official time, and they had to refund people their money and cancel the transactions
England Away - similar to the above but it ran into 100's this time and also ended up in bad publicity in the Record over it
Anyone who runs a system when updating (should) run the update in UAT (User Acceptance Testing) and/or SIT (System Integration Testing) BEFORE they put it into live but it seems their supplier doesn't even know how to do the basics of running a system
Don't be surprised if more "mishap's" occur in the future
PS - that'll be me picked for pick up now!

Aye, what Deecie said
We did the same when getting the flight out to Macedonia - think its about 17 miles or something like that from Watford. We pre-booked a taxi - sorry but cannay mind their name, but there's a few if you google and all about the same price
Made sense for us to do this as the flight was 08.20 and you get into Watford at about 06.20 from memory but I suppose if your flight isnt that early, then maybe Euston is more suitable?

Its true that the SFA could have been fined for the displaying of 'political' signs etc
However to have stickers about the size of a button badge taken off you and/or told that unless you removed them, you'd be denied entry to the stadium, is way overboard
We had the above happen to us and ask under who's instructions and were told very clearly it was under direct SFA instructions

The 50 minute train journey there was fine. The over 2 hour one that stopped at every tiny station was the problem
Similar issues for the train up to Dortmund on the Sunday morning ................ cause it was a local train, stopped everywhere and nae bog
We got off in Bochum cause my dad needed 'to use the facilities' and got on the next week 10 mins later!

Question : if i phoned ssc and they told
Me they had a ticket available , would I be able to pick up in Germany as I fly out Wednesday ......
Yes, in fact, most likely the only way you've had got the ticket as too late now to send out in time

Block AYE for the elite

September and May are my favourite times.
I thought it was when you were booked ?
-
You can't tranfer the ticket - best you can hope for is that they'll let your pal cancel

Yip, cheers.
Looking at digs that make it easy'ish to get to/from for both flights - also with this flight, into Tbilisi a bit earlier than the Ataturk late departure
