😆 that's definitely my plan for Thursday during the day in Luzern. Supermarket sweep down the beer aisle and fill some bags up with ice to try and keep it cool in the 30c+ heat!

Absolute jakey behaviour, you should be ashamed of yourself. Tarnishing the good name of the club. Not cool.

🤣 I'll pay to keep you in a pub out my road! F*nny! 😝 Let's keep the thread on track to help people meet up if they wish. To be honest you will probably put alot of people off with your patter

[Hermit Crab]

You can all relax, me and the OP are long term mates, I'm only having a bit of fun with his thread. :greengrin.

No harm or offence intended. The likelihood is I'll be joining him in the park. :agree:

[Hermit Crab]

Hopefully we can all meet in a boozer on wednesday night in Basel and you can all put a face to the name HC. :devil:

Hahaha incredible stuff folk thought you were being serious.

I'm a bit jealous so many seem to be staying in Basel.

Hopefully the boutique Zurich meetup will be a success 👌🇨🇭

Basil is so close to both the French and German borders where a pint is a lot cheaper than Switzerland
It is walkable to Germany but there is also a local bus yo take you there same with the French side
Also it stretches your visit into another country or two

Yep,shorts and t-shirt in Zurich too. At some point it'll break in a mad thunderstorm the likes of which you really don't get so much back home, but that's not looking likely for several days yet.

We've been out in Basel all day and gravitated back to Hotel Victoria bar Terrace opposite station, it's central for a meet up and a lot cheaper than the Irish bar we had lunch in. Just a suggestion unless anyone can recommend somewhere else.

Heads up for anyone who's booked onto the 0600 from Edinburgh to Basel flight LH1527. It's just been cancelled.

Offering a 13:00 departure that will get into Basel 17:45 (assuming no delays). It'll be tight but no other option really.

I was booked on this. Lufthansa has offered alternative flights which arrive in Basel tomorrow morning :rolleyes:

[Johnny_Leith]

To be fair, twitter footage of Frankfurt airport is not promising, heavy flooding so can't really blame them. Hopefully they'll provide a refund.

Alternate Lufthansa flight paths were terrible so I've rebooked and I'm going to Zurich via London at quite a cost, here's hoping the travel insurance coughs up or it's beans on toast for all of September!

Jesus, just saw the flooding. I've booked edinburgh-geneva direct at considerable cost, the wife is going to kill me.

I claimed through Söp, it's worth a go for anyone that had to make their own plans due to the Frankfurt flight cancellation [emoji106]

Just been reading this thread and your success with Lufthansa interested me, so sorry for the thread drift.

Was the Lufthansa flight cancelled because of bad weather and who are Sop? You also say they offered alternative flights.

The reason I ask is because last year we were due to fly with them from Budapest to Frankfurt connecting to Edinburgh and they cancelled at the last minute, not mentioning why. We later found out it was because of thunderstorms which they used as a reason not to stump up. Having been handed a chit by their useless handling agents, we had to find overnight digs ourselves before going back out to the airport the next day.

Their whole set-up dealing with matters was terrible so I'd like to know if you have any gen which may help me pursue them again.

The first flight was cancelled due to flooding at Frankfurt airport but there was still options to arrive in Basel the same day (easyJet flight to Geneva then onward train for me)

Thanks for that. However it deals solely with flights cancelled due to to strikes rather than weather where I believe your rights may be different.
