Tickets sent out by FAI today :) :) :)
JT/Paddser, see earlier post by Cobra. Official taxis only cost about €7 and I just checked my reservation e-mail from Sveta Sofia and they were looking to charge €30 one way for airport transfers. Didn't take them up on their "generous" offer obviously, hope it's not a sign of things to come in the hotel itself!! :eek:Quote:

No hand luggage and hand bag , hand bag has to go into hand luggage !! So one item !! thats ridiculous :mad:
Got the following reply back this morning from the taxi crowd I am getting, seems reasonable enough. Does not seem too happy on missing his beauty sleep though:DQuote:

I can quote a special price 42 eur. Total for party of 14 people going to Sveta Sofia h-l at 03:00 on 5th.June
Provide me the details if they do not have other option at this horrible hour, to cover them.
Many thanks,
Alex
Nine days to departure wahooooooooooo
Thats shocking, not sure if my hand bag will fit into my carry on bag :confused:Quote:

JT there doesn't seem to be a problem with a hand bag and carrier bag either, ive never seen it and travelled a good few times with people who had both!
Paul your post lacks all credibility the minute you mentioned girlfriend.
Tickets and info from FAI arrived today. Apparently the Bulgarians own fans will be segregated with CSKA Sofia and Levski Sofia fans being kept apart at either end of the ground! Should be some atmosphere!! :D
:eek: Jesus, hope we will be ok !Quote:

I wouldn't rely on this Paul/JT. Ryanair enforce this randomly and I have seen them stopping people with handbags on more than one occasion.Quote:

I can assure you though the plastic bags has worked for me on several occassions, but again don't go on my experience if Paddser has seen different!! I have found easyjet to be the stickler moreso than Ryanair also.
Thats good advice in general. :)Quote:

Iv seen it once coming home from Birmingham, and my sister was made put her handbag into her hand luggage coming back from Gatwick. She had to leave some stuff behind at the Departure Gate to make room. (No doubt the lady enforcing her to do so, pocketed anything left behind for herself. It was new clothes) I travel regularly and normally it's fine. But Id just warn against ignoring it in the very unfortunate and unlikely off chance that they enforce it.
Ya, fair point, I didn't mean to say ignore it, moreso there are ways around it. BUt ya be aware. For example "buying a handbag" at the airport I'd say they wouldn't be allowed to refuse bringing it on board, as it might breach their contract with the airport authority.
:eek: 1 euro a beer and SH still wont buy his own:pQuote:

It is central and it has JT, what more can you want.
If you went with a proper airline like Lufthansa, you'd have a 20kg allowance, get something to eat on the flight, check in on the ground rather than online, and be treated as a passenger should be treated, even possibly cheaper than with O'Leary's brigade.Quote:

Christ, just got the tickets, their the most flimmsiest tickets I have ever seen going to away games. Can see people losing them pretty handy. Tickets are at the corner of the ground:(
They really are the flimsiest things I've come across. Paper thin!! In fairness to the FAI, they seem to be prepared for people losing them and have left a mobile number to contact if you lose them over there.Quote:

I travel with them at least once a week and have seen it enforced a lot recently. Flew from Dublin to East Midlands this morning and the woman at the gate walked down the line of passengers checking no one had more than one bag. Made a couple of American's behind me force their duty free into their handluggage.
I flew last week with Ryanair and they were very strict both ways checking the size of the bags but not the weight before boarding. It was strictly one bag only incl handbags duty free etc. they had a cardboard cutout that went over your bag and if it didn't fit inside then tough.
I'm flying with them on friday and am going to be very careful with my luggage. One night won't be a problem though.
My bag was also weighed in Hahn by security using Ryanair going to Bari.
I wonder how the airports will react as more and more stuff gets dumped at gates. It will almost always make sense to leave the bag and clothes rather than wait and pay for a new flight.
I'm on cityjet/air france to/from sofia so OK for this trip.
Love the name of the guy to ring if ye lose your tickets, McGLUE, good man to ring for spare tickets as he should have a few stuck to him:DQuote:

Where did you expect them to be? :confused: Hopefully it'll be somewhere near the goals, which as away fans, where we should be.Quote:

On at least 2 occasions when we've played in Sofia, it's been lashing down. Hopefully the weather will improve this time.
