Flying back from Le Mans

[Redwing]

One of our party rather foolishly wants to fly home from Le Mans on sunday night. Has anyone got any ideas who runs the flights and where to get a ticket? Did I see someone running a DC3 Dakota from the UK. Help please or we will have to leave him at home! By the way....can't wait!!!!!!

The DC3 flight is a charter.

Don't know of any scheduled flights out of LME

Ryanair have flights from these airports but they all require a drive out:
Le Mans-Tours 63 miles
Le Mans-Dinard 140 miles
Le Mans-Poitiers 125 miles
Le Mans-Nantes 115 miles

Dropped my old chap off at Dinard last year, got bloody lost, nearly ran out of fuel, missed the Charletans, all good fun though!
You could always email one of the chopper flight companies that operate at the race and see if they'll do a shuttle. (deets on the Club Arnage guide).

It's a forum for private pilots. You might find someone there that is flying down and may have space to fly you back.

Airtrack used to run a charter to Le mans - surely worth a try to see if they have any spare seats?

Alternatively there is the train. My wife is on the 17:30 from Le Mans and she'll get back to Ashford around 22:00 I think.

Depends where there ultimate destination is!

Tours is the best airport from the circuit but book in advance (Ryanair). The train's the best and the easiest but beware because the station area is awful and the whole of the North side is a building site! Also, pre-booking for Eurostar is a good idea. Either cross Paris from Montparnasse to Gard du Nord by Metro (more frequent service) or direct from LM to Lille and change to the Eurostar there (easier but only 2 or 3 trains a day).
