does anyone know how far bologna airport (the main 1) is from the train station? Gettin different answers off websites

[Green Tribe]

does anyone know how far bologna airport (the main 1) is from the train station? Gettin different answers off websites

BY TRAIN
The Airport is about 6 Km far from Bologna central railway station, one of the most important railway stations in Italy. When you arrive at the station, you can reach the Airport by “Aerobus” service, or by Taxi (COTABO 051/372727 - CAT 051/534141).
For further information on trains, visit this site: Trenitalia

I would imagine this would be correct from Bologna airport website

Bigger bus :D

Assuming my mathematics :o is correct we are now at 55 definitely confirmed, 58 if the other 3 in sylvo and lopez's gang confirm, ahem!! :D
So yes, it does look like we need a bigger bus. I have mentioned this to Bus Davide, that there is a possibility that we may need a 64 or 77 seater. So I am waiting to hear back from him, hopefully Monday at the latest.

[Babysis]

Ciao

Defo going to need a bigger bus - just got off the phone from my sis and sylvo - looks like 7 in their group . Will be getting a text shortly to confirm - but can you stick them on for 7!

Cheers

[citizenerased]

there must be a couple of thousand irish fans heading over, 1000 at tthe very least

[lopez]

...there is a possibility that we may need a 64 or 77 seater...Jaysus, what are you looking at? A routemaster? :eek:

[Saint Tom]

less than a thousand would be the smallest amount we have taken (bar the faroes mishap) in yonks for a competitive game. even 3000+ went to Israel

I'm sure most of you are aware of this, but just in case, please see here (http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/uk/6258213.stm?ls)

It's just in case it affects anyone flying out of Uk airports for this trip.

All a bit of a mess by the sounds of it. :confused:

Hey Babysis saw Michael O'Leary on BBC news yesterday saying that Ryanair will be sending out there passengers an email in the next 2weeks to notify they will be charging there passengers the extra amount as they will not be absorbing the cost

if works out at about 7.50Euro per person extra for anyone flyin out of the U.K.

We have been fortunate then....we booked with British Airways ( both ways )
and they have announced that they will NOT be looking for any money from those already booked!:) :)

Bo***x, I have 2 flights from Stansted for this trip :mad: , one to Bologna and one home...It only affects the flight out (£5 is the tax). Still out of order but typical of the stunts Bliar's junta has been pulling these few years. If they were that interested in the environment they wouldn't be allowing airports to increase, and demand that if airlines want more space to cut out their short haul flights to Manchester etc.

[AidoM]

.... but typical of the stunts Bliar's junta has been pulling these few years. .

Keep on topic please :eek: :D

[Bomb Landsdowne]

how will they be taking this money off us, through our credit card or do we pay in cash in Stansted when we check in??

The airline you have booked with should contact you and tell you

a) how much you owe
b) when you have to pay it by
c) how to pay it, so dont worry.

quoth ryanair:
http://www.ryanair.com/site/EN/notices.php?notice=gops&code=070115-APD_Notice-GB
We greatly regret that Ryanair has no alternative, but to act as the UK Chancellor's tax collector and in accordance with Article 4.2.2 of Ryanair's General Conditions of Carriage, all affected passengers will be advised via email of the additional tax amount that will be automatically charged to the credit card or debit card used to pay for their original booking. These credit/debit card transactions will take place over the next 2 weeks .

also some typical michael o'leary stuff:

the UK Chancellor, Mr Gordon Brown MP, announced his decision to DOUBLE his ridiculous and anti-consumer "Air Passenger Duty". This tax grab which will generate £1bn. in tax revenues for the UK Government, but will do nothing for the environment.
Ryanair condemns the UK Chancellor's unfair and regressive tax on ordinary passengers
Ryanair's passengers - who enjoy the lowest average air fares in the UK - are paying the highest rate of tax (35%) while many of "Greedy Gordon's" friends and fellow politicians are still flying business class where this tax represents less than 5% of their air fare. This is just another example of politicians using the environment to grab further taxes from the travelling public.

and so forth

[Green Tribe]

Hope we don't get any passenger duty on the GT BUS

of course not..:D
Have promised Bus davide that taking care of the passengers are 2 professional ladies and 1 professional mature :p gentleman who has experience in bus tours :eek:

[Green Tribe]

Just a little update on GT BUS. Was too busy at work today to surf the net. Davide has confirmed to me today that the GT BUS will depart at 12:30 at Rimini train station (central point) I will confirm all these details on a map shortly. He has also kindly confirmed that the bus will drop us off in San Marino so we can have a walkabout/pub crawl/view the tacky souvenir shops and shall pick us up again at 1900 and take us straight to the stadium. Our contact phone numbers will be PM'd to all the lead passengers in case someone happens to get lost in San Marino :rolleyes:

All final details will be posted here very soon and can be PM'd/emailed to anyone if they wish. Davide has been very helpful and very easy-going with all the arrangements, so it should be a great bus trip, details to follow.
Thanks to all those who have provided names, phone numbers etc. FYI, it is a 77 seater.
Ciao! :D

[samabu92]

Well done GT:) At least we dont have to walk the 2 miles to ground. Fair play to Davide for getting the bus to pick us up again and take us to ground.:D

I know! I was chancing my arm asking would they do it, but fair play he said it was fine, maybe he didn't understand :eek: :D

Have to say my backing team of other professional lady and mature professional gentleman with Bus Tour experience were great.
Getting quite excited about it now. :p
