Just to get from LAX to LHR is around a grand. More if I went to LCY. I can get to AMS for a little over a grand. Plus hotels, travel, food and all that jazz.

Would the information I would get out of going to something like this be worth spending the money? I wish I could get someone to send me, but unfortunately I am all on my own.
not best to fly to RTM outside europe its a small airport-
you fly to amsterdam and take the train-

LAX-AMS comes up as between 800$ and 1000$ return with 1 stop on orbitz

-

RTM is a small airport with commuter type connections-
from london city airport there is a good service-

LAX-LHR is cheaper with many direct flights- 700$-900$ non-stop return-
staying overnight then going overland to LCY then into RTM is one option
there are lots of cheap direct flights from LHR-AMS

its a long way.... from LAX
I would hope its going to be useful to someone - its totally practical - concerns some of the issues we have - and some of the problems we have to solve-
