Transport
Air
KLM seem to be the cheapest carrier, but note that they have changed baggage rules recently and no longer give you free checked luggage; hold luggage is now £12 extra each way.
User:Alecjw is flying with a non-hackspacer from LTN at 0600 on monday via easyjet so we can spend a day doing amsterdam things before the camp starts. Others are leaving bristol at 0645. We'll meet in the AMS arrivals hall at 0900 or so if anyone wants to stalk us. All of us will be leaving at 1900 on sunday.
