Every run has to start somewhere… 

02/12/2016 by Kevincm

Mine however, start at Digbeth Coach station.

Good morning (it’s past 2am in the morning in the UK… so it’s morning) as I begin the first of possibly three tier point runs.

And they all have a theme of Tallinn in Estonia.

For this trip, I’m down to a rucksack, a couple of cameras, my tablet and iPhone to keep me connected as I attempt to fly a new carrier for me – Finnair.

However, to get to Helsinki and Tallinn, I need to get to the airport known as Heathrow.

There are lits of reasons why I’m taking the coach rather than other options, but that’ll be another post. For now, Coach 210 to Gatwick South via Heathrow awaits me…

    Hi Kevin, could you please look to see if a straight b2b turnaround (same aircraft) would be feasibly possible at TLL? Thanks!

      I’ve been trying to round this as a same day turn without success. Phsyically, there’s enough time… but it’s impossible to book. Drafted booking systems

        Easy to do as a same day return with a nested ex-TLL.

        Just needed to confirm that it’s physically possible to do a turnaround. Is it a bus from the aircraft to terminal? And when at terminal, is it like AMS where you find yourself at the departures gate immediately again and no need to clear security?

        Thanks.

          It’s physically possible. No busses at Tallinn… some at HEL to switch plane. You’re in the secure zone when you pull into talllin.
