Would sort it on arrival - lot more literature/promotion for hotels was knocking about before the internet and they weren’t fussy about it being particularly nice accommodation.

One way obviously, it’s the sort of thing I’d want to repeat in a language I can’t understand

Just book one of those cheap Eurostar deals.

Is that one of those tickets for a tenner but you don’t know when exactly you’re going?

You should get on the next flight from whatever airport you go to, then keep on doing that at every airport and see how long it takes for you to get back to the first airport. Could be done in the space of two flights, could take decades.

Get the Guardian to cover the costs and write a travel blog about it for them.

Bet he’d spend a lot of time in Schipol.

There’s worse airports to spend time in.

It varies all the time. In the last 12 months I’ve been travelling a lot to and from Holland with very short notice (e.g. booking 3 hours before take-off) and I’ve paid as little as £60 and as much as £300 for a flight. And there doesn’t seem to be any correlation between the price and how busy the plane is.

My mate works at Greggs

Is his name Gregg?
