Travel Arrangements..

[Pauro 76]

747 Travel rep Michael Caslin had a meeting in the Tangled Web earlier... not finalised yet till Tuesday, but heres a quick rundown on details so far...

Team and supporters on the same flight but different hotels (3 hotels in Vaduz..)
Flying out Tuesday 13th morning and coming back Friday 16th evening
Heading out to (possibly) Zurich (3 hours coach trip to Vaduz), stay a night or two there, then on to Vaduz and spend the night there after the match...
Price to be arranged when we find out how many people are going...
Carrigy's bus from Longford to Dublin Airport 15 yo-yos
Match tickets not finalised in package, but should be cheap enough

Price of package being finalised Tuesday evening by Paschal in the Tangled Web around 9.... any more details ill post up on Wednesday!

[gheewhizz]

The club are looking at flying out Monday, but as PAURO 7 said everything will be finalised on Tuesday.

[max power]

no the club are flying out tuesday, it would be a waste of money having players there for 3 days before the game.

[max power]

just a small point, but everyone who lives in Longford and is going on the trip will want swiss francs, the bank don't usually keep them in stock so i'd advice anyone traveling to get in early and order their currency this week, its currently 1.48 swiss franc for the euro ( thats ulster bank exchange rate )

[Martinho II]

From Michael caslin was advising us the other day he was saying to us that it is a lot cheaper to exchange the foreign currency when in Liehcenstein as we will be robbed bleedin rotten on the exchange rate over here....

[gheewhizz]

Trust me the club are flying out on the Monday, I'm tiring to get stuff sorted out for the trip, it was confirmed to me today

macy the we are going to haqve to get a UN resolution on this war :rolleyes:
You're arguing with someone involved with the team, but are adamant that he's wrong ffs.

No UN resolution, the US would never back it.

[max power]

you never know, they just might......why at the meeting on sat were the gang told that supporters and team flying together on the tuesday, that was the info i was going on.

[Macy]

The team may end up flying Tuesday, but surely he'd know what the team are looking at at the moment - more up to date info than Saturday.

re exchange rates

Banks here are offering about 1.5 CHF for a euro - checked today.

Most big stores and supermarkets will also accept euros - in note form only.

hope this helps

[max power]

if any one is at the meeting in the tangled web tonight could they post the info....

[GavinZac]

good luck from the cork lads!

[town73]

I think it was a in the region of €630 for flights and three nights - two in Munich and one in Vaduz. Leaving on Tuesday and coming back on Friday. It was limited availability and I believe there is now a waiting list in operation. 01 4757070 is their number.

[max power]

it was so limited they never bothered to ring back the people who contacted them in the first place........i rang 747 twice and have been fogged off with rubbish both times, they even told me THIS MORNING no trip had been finalised yet :mad:


just for the craic i rang again and they told me again NO DETAILS HAVE BEEN FINALISED YET, when i told her it was a 7:20 flight to munich on the 13th, she didn't know what to say.....i was also told that anyone how left a message over the last few days had been called back....eh not true missy, both myself and pauro left messages and neither have been contacted.

[max power]

a couple of us have looked into alternative routes and i've come up with this so far if anyone is interested..

13th july dublin - zurich with swiss air

hotel in zurich for 2 nights

return train to vadus

i night in hotel in vadus

all in including taxes 450 euro.....

[Maz]

price was worked out at 585 for flights, accomadation in both munich and vaduz plus the bus trips over there, an extra 47 for taxes charged by aer lingus! fly out tues morning at 7.20am stay in munich for 2nights all travel to vaduz approx 3hrs and stay in vaduz after the game. fly back to ireland from munich at 7.45pm on fri evening! yeah all 50 places were fully booked last night and there is a waiting list in place!

[max power]

yeah but how long can ya wait on a waiting list, those who want to go need it all sorted asap......that 450 includes all taxes as well.

i'd rather go with the offical trip, but if 747 don't get off their ass soon and bother to contact those who left messages, then the alternative plan will have to be put into action

[Martinho II]

Well folks we have booked the alternatibe trip. Got sick and tired of 747 getting back. As Mark Neilan said the trip in his earlier email is 450 euros return from dublin to zurich via amstersdam .Plus we have got a 4 star hotel. The name of the hotel we are staying is the hotel geneva.You can look up the information on www.ebookers.ie an excellent website.

[max power]

marthio outing me !!!! the shame of it all......

yeah we are heading out at 6.30 am on the tuesday morning so we might see a few of yee in the hotel, we got a nice 4 star hotel in zurich for 2 days, then a nice train jounrey to vadus where i've just booked a hotel there for the night of the game........all for 200 less than 747, who btw still haven't retruned my calls.

[Strasbourg Bohs]

I'm sure Feech (Bohs Zurich) and myself could be persuaded to meet up for a few beers in Zurich if yous want :)

[max power]

that thought had crossed our minds, i'll pm our hotel name and a contact number to both off yee....

[max power]

just a note for antone going to the game via zurich, remember its duty free !!! unlike germany :D

[DaithiT]

Lichtenstein is the Duty Free Tax Heaven..... Its like Monaco.... You'l all love it down here great scenery... Looking forward to the game, have at least
5 family members coming over.

[max power]

are duty free stores not located in airports only ??? if there is no airport in lich how can they have duty free shopping ????

[Macy]

By having no excise duty in the country?

[DaithiT]

That's it Macy... No tax on Tobacco etc...

[max power]

[Feech]

I think that certain streets in Dublin are also good for this, don't ask me which ones though!!

;)

[max power]

not as many as a while ago, a lot of those guys have been pushed off the main streets by the cops, they money is in door to door pirate dvd sales these days, or so i've heard anyway :rolleyes:

[gheewhizz]

[Pauro 76]

They returned my call last week, when they had one spot open. Had already booked flights (€270 - friedrichshafen). Does anyone know where the 747 group are staying in Munich?

[max power]

[DaithiT]
