+MersonMonkeys Posted March 18, 2015 Share Posted March 18, 2015 I hate this. I am currently in Kuwait and heading but to the states on Sunday the 22nd (yes this coming Sunday). I initially had a 12 hour layover in London which would give me PLENTY of time to drop off two travel bugs heading to London. My flights had changed at the last moment so now I only have less then 4 hours and I am going to be stuck with two travel bugs that is just going to go right back to the United States with me. So my question is simple. Would it be possible to land in London during my layover, leave the airport, get a taxi, find a Geocache and then head back to check through security and make my flight in time? Or who lives near the Airport that would like to take two trackables off my hands? Thanks! Any other advice? Quote Link to comment
+geordiell Posted March 18, 2015 Share Posted March 18, 2015 If your landing at Heathrow there is always GC5KTAF a TB Hotel? Quote Link to comment
+geordiell Posted March 18, 2015 Share Posted March 18, 2015 Sorry I should add that is if your allowed out the airport as Im unsure of your passport/documents/visa/ etc normally if your in "transit" youre not to leave the airport depending on paperwork and such! Wish I could help more mate and good luck! Quote Link to comment
Blue Square Thing Posted March 18, 2015 Share Posted March 18, 2015 There are certainly caches near Gatwick which are fairly big as well - a bus might be enough. Quote Link to comment
+whh0 Posted March 19, 2015 Share Posted March 19, 2015 (edited) Might help if you let us know which London airport - Heathrow, Gatwick, Stansted or City. But generally, no, if you are in transit you cannot leave the airport. Edited March 19, 2015 by whh0 Quote Link to comment
+Shanghai Joe Posted March 20, 2015 Share Posted March 20, 2015 If you leave the airport you will have to go through immigration, find a cache and then check in and go through security again. I'm afraid that 4 hours is simply just not enough to do all this. Quote Link to comment
+MersonMonkeys Posted March 21, 2015 Author Share Posted March 21, 2015 Opps sorry! I am landing in Heathrow. I think I agree with Joe, I don't think I have enough time in 4 hours to do all of this. I am pretty sure I can leave the airport as several of my co-workers on the 14 hour layover was able to leave the airport, do a bus tour, and come back and they have the same passports as I do (US passports). The thing with me is the time needed. Thanks for all the input! Quote Link to comment
