I'll second that (always fly Lufthansa / British Midland when I go home) but
I thought I'd mention it to those interested. For those who don't know:
Ryanair http://www.ryanair.com and Go! http://www.gofly.com offer very cheap
fares (Euro 20 - 30) between smaller airports in Europe. This is primarily of
interest to residents of the British Isles but both companies are planning
expansion to mainland Europe. The flights are cheap but be warned: the
airports are quite often a long way from where they sound: Charleroi (where
I'll be next week at Europython) counts for Brussels, Hahn for Frankfurt, and
Luton and Stanstead are hours from London.

COOL!!! Which one? One of my clients has a WLAN so it would be great if I
could get one for my notebook.

We normally have hubs a plenty. Everyone should bring an ethernet cable.

We'd need to set up a router for this. We won't promise a permanent
connection until we've costed it and made sure it is practical: our first
attempts to use tha analogue connection were frustrated by really crappy
cable but there is now ISDN.

Understood.
