TomAiello 26 #26 November 15, 2005 Quotewhich would be great if i could pay for my flights in anything other and GPB anyone know any good ways to scam an airline? Why do you need to pay in pounds? I've bought flights originating in the UK and paid in dollars. Do they do some kind of residency check or something? Regardless, I don't think you save much (if anything) by paying with a different currency. The airlines just convert their standard prices, pretty much.-- Tom Aiello Tom@SnakeRiverBASE.com SnakeRiverBASE.com Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
174fps 1 #27 November 15, 2005 QuoteQuoteall the usual suspects for flights... best i can get to phoenix is about £550... SA is about a grand... So, all you have to do is pay for an expensive flight and when you get here drink enough cheap beer and do cheap jumps and you should come out on top! You do realize that jumps are $16 and there is Free Beer at the Eloy boogie Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
SkymonkeyONE 4 #28 November 15, 2005 I did Eloy two years in a row (the first two DZ.com Holiday boogies). While I did have a great time, I was never happy with my accomodations. The first year there, Katie and I slept in a tent. We froze our asses off and our gear got soaked. The second year there we slept in a teamroom, could not configure the bunks in such a manner that we could satisfactorilly sleep together, and had no privacy from the people on the other side of the trailer due to the paper-thin walls. I would never do that boogie again without sleeping in a Hotel or a proper RV on the dropzone. It's a great place, the beer is almost endless, the restaurant is great, the skydiving organizers are first-rate, and the jumps are cheap. Still, I had a better time overall last year at Z-hills. Much-warmer weather, good inexpensive food, tons of fantastic skydivers, a much better swoop pond, less hassle on wingsuit jumps, and I can drive my own camper there. My only gripe AT ALL about last year what that fruitcake stealing my dog!!! Unbelievable. There will be many more vendors at Z-hills this year than there were last year as well.

Of course prices always play a role, but now you know Macca, start putting away your cash for Africa next year Advertisio Rodriguez / Sky Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
mccordia 74 #30 November 29, 2005 Sweet.. I booked my flight to Empuria (45 euros, holland to spain and back) Going to be there from december 24th untill jan 2nd. I'll be freeflying with friends, but anyone wanting to flock just howler! (I have a red/black/white rig, with McCordia sewn on the MLW, cant miss that) Jumping with wingsuits during the Xmas boogie is no problem, the only limit is that you can only flock from the Porters, because of mulitple loads dropping at the same time from the other AC. There wil be 2 porters present, and next to those there wil be 2 twin otters and a Beech99 for all the other funJump by day, Party by night...! Who else is coming?JC FlyLikeBrick I'm an Athlete?

The solution you have might be great, but I think it's just their standard rules for the boogie, and there's probably not enough flockers to fill 2 porters anyways...I'm happy flocking from the porter..:)JC FlyLikeBrick I'm an Athlete?

Beverly 1 #35 November 29, 2005 Quote Jump by day, Party by night...! Who else is coming? Sorry, gonna stay in Africa. Warm weather, big planes, lots of skydiving, cold beer, hot guys with no shirts on. What more can a girl ask for? My friend Sheri is gonna be there, so you had better look after her!

Just tell her to be on the look out for a bunch of hot (SINGLE might I ad) dutch guys...she can recognise us by the smell of weed, cheese and tullips, and otherwise by the clogs we wear or the windmill on top of our bunk-houseJC FlyLikeBrick I'm an Athlete?

I also think clogs are the missing link when it comes to landing a birdman-suit...skies are too bulky...clogs are the magic answer I tell ya! QuoteAnd now you are teasing me with windmills as well!! Carefull or I'll throw in some 'Delfs Blauw' as well Holland rocks :) QuoteJust watch out for the closed circuit camera that covers off the mock up for any wild romp nights! As long as its closed circuit I don't mind, but I fear it's more of a webcam kinda thing, with the whole world watching But I have no fear...I'm only a smooth operator on in the internet...in real life I'll be the guy sitting in the corner of the bar, looking at all the pretty girls! I'm usualy hidden away in corners of the dropzone, editing video and stuff...I'm not used to people talking to me and stuff JC FlyLikeBrick I'm an Athlete?
