Folks, I read a recent thread where a member on here had to cancel their trip due to airline issues.

It got me thinking, how much time do you tend to give to arrive before your hunt?


I’ve got my first trip coming next year which is exciting and a bit daunting - it almost makes you want to fast forward everything else.. anyway.

I was looking to fly out direct from the uk on an overnight flight. Arrive in the morning of the day before hunt 1. Several hours drive and then hopefully should be at the venue for the afternoon - maybe some range time. Should be reasonable if all flies to plan or even if a couple of hours delay. Cancelled flights obviously not considered. It’s for an 8 day hunt and will be on the same time difference.

Would you all say that’s a reasonable plan? Or would many of you leave a full days gap before the hunt starts to hang around / factor for delays? It’s another days holiday and costs but thought it was worth asking ahead of time!


Cheers!
 
This is std sir
I have hosted a number of clients from europe and uk
They usually fly overnight
Collect them at the airport in the morn in the hunting area around lunch or late afternoon
Check guns and relax or do some sundowners
Ready to go the next morning

Hi Jon,
I saw your post for the .500 NE cases. Are these all brass or are they nickel plated? Hard for me to tell... sorry.
Thanks,
