lucifer sam Posted April 19, 2010 Report Share Posted April 19, 2010 Bernie Ecclestone says if the restrictions to air travel stay in place the next Formula One in Spain will be cancelled and they will hold another one in China. They need 6 Boeing 747 to transport all the equipment from one country to another. He even joked that they would hold all the Grand Prix's there if necessary How long I wonder will it be before there is an announcement confirming that the Leszno Grand Prix goes ahead. F1 is rather different that speedway in terms of the amount of "gear". The riders all have equipment on the continent, and should be able to get it by road to Poland without too much fuss. All the best Rob Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rico Posted April 20, 2010 Report Share Posted April 20, 2010 Well, that's Ryanair cancelled the Thursday lunchtime flight to Poznan for us - in fairness it's nice to know early. So, road trip it is. Should be an adventure. Rico Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Your bank may then take 5-7 working days to process this refund amount back to your account. No changes to your request will be accepted once submitted So don't expect it too quickly. And I'm wondering just what fees Ryanair will try and keep or will it be the full amount. Rico Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ryanair have cancelled their northern European services up to Thursday at 1pm thus far. Rico Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rico Posted April 21, 2010 Report Share Posted April 21, 2010 Ryanair plans to start flights to Poland on Friday ... It appears they are starting Thursday - our flight on Thursday was cancelled, but now Ryanair are saying they're running a full service from UK to continental Europe from 5am tomorrow. They are selling seats on our flight now, something they definitely weren't doing this morning. Rico Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We are hoping that our flight on Friday will be ok ,but who knows? Anyway i,m sure well all get there somehow and see you in some random bar having a beer or two. Good luck with your quest.
