I've just booked my tickets and flights for HiveFest9!
I had held off on booking tickets because my friend @brianoflondon had said they were expensive and I was concerned about airline cancellations because of the war (Israel vs Iran & proxies).
But I just managed to get some really cheap flights to Split that I wanted to share.
I got a 10 Sept flight from Rome to Split on RyanAir for $18!
I got a 15 Sept morning flight from Split to Athens for $68.
I'm connecting from these flights to ~$100 flights on an Israeli airline from/to Tel Aviv.
A lot of foreign airlines have stopped flying to Israel because of the tensions with Iran - running away at the first whiff of grapeshot.
But Israeli airlines are made of sterner stuff and have been enjoying the lack of competition.
El Al has had record profits because Israelis still love to travel.
Flights had become a lot more expensive, but I managed to get some cheapish ones.
Looking forward to seeing friends new and old in Split.

Oh I’m so jealous Andrew
Wish you guys could come. Amsterdam is not so far from Split?
Why don't you do a family road trip if its too expensive to fly?
@edenmichelle
Eden is in South Africa at present and then flying to Greece next month to do a 2 day wedding gig and then flying to Amsterdam and working at the ADE (Amsterdam Dance Festival) - so I don't think it would be possible - and Croatia is on my bucket list for sure. She's also working on some collaborations at present with some bigger names. Enjoy Hive Fest Andrew!!
There are cheap direct flights from Athens to Split - I'm flying that way on the way back. ADE starts on 16 Oct while HiveFest finishes on 14 Oct. Maybe @edenmichelle could fly Athens - Split - Amsterdam and fit in some HiveFest on her way :-).
I'll talk to her - but she has a lot of preparation for ADE - she's an A&R for Andrew Rayel and working with them on something.

That's a good deal. My flights from Luton were not too bad, but they sting you for bringing luggage.
I shall see you there.

Yes, I'm going to have a very limited wardrobe at HiveFest. But it should be shorts & T shirt weather so not a problem.

Hmmm... Maybe we will fly with the same plane... :) Is it at 13:05?
See you in Rome (and Split 😃)... :)
Yes. That's the one.
I will arrive early in Rome (around 9 AM), so if I get bored, maybe I will try to get to the city... We will be in touch as the date comes closer... :)
I've got only 1hr 20 layover in Rome. I am stoked that I got such good flights so cheap.
