If you're budgeting for around €200 lads then there's plenty of Air France/KLM flights from Heathrow going out Tuesday and back Thursday for €140/€150, you can get there for around €60 with Aer Lingus still.

I'm no legal expert, but surely that's a breach of contract between the passenger and the airline?Quote:

There is a train straight ot london bridge and then the underground ( northern line black line on tube map), which is cheaper than the gatwick express and just as quick, the gatwick express however goes to victoria and you change for the victoria(lighter blue line on map) undergound line.Quote:

Cheers, Just booked Aer lingus to Heathrow, then Eurostar to Paris.. Tues - Thurs. €208, paid the extra for a lie in on the Thursday.. Bit expensive but hassle free (hopefully).
If anyone wants to do it for €130. Fly to Rome with Ryanair 6am. Rome to Paris 4pm with easyjet. Arrive in Paris 6pm. Bit shorter timewise on return..
Is there enough time in two hours. arriving from the eurostar to get to heathrow for a flight. no bag check in..
I booked Cork to Heathrow 115 euro return and the eurostar 90 sterling return.I dont have accomadation booked yet...should be great craic cant wait.
Should be 90% fine if you get the Heathrow Express. No chance if you get the Tube and if the Eurostar is late or the public transport in London is on the blink..........you're smoked.Quote:

Bristol -paris £52 return....
Seems to be a nightmare all round,the last game in Paris we flew to Charoloi for 80 quid return and got a bus to Paris for 20 quid. At the moment is 180 return to Charloi.A couple of sites to help, one for accomodation
http://www.easytobook.com/
and this is handy for checking flights and it gets all the options to/from various cities.
http://www.quoteclub.ie/flights.php
http://www.skyscanner.net/
This might prove to be a useful site. It will search all the budget airlines and you can select a country to fly from and too rather than a specific airport. Just think outside the box and you may be able to knock a fair few quid off.
I think ryanair took skyscanner to court and they aren't included anymore.
so much for michael oleary and his patriotism, skying up the price of flights, high prices would definitely put people off going, the maybes just wont bother. Cheap and easy would add on at least a couple of thousand support.
we're flying to frankfurt and hiring a car
500kms, we land at 1130 on wed morning.... game will probably be 2100 paris time, so no bother!
flight out (ryanair) was 20 quid and back (aer lingus, different airport) was 65, plus car hire is about 25 quid each among the five of us, so not too pricey.... except for the whole five hour drive thing.
Not sure of the times but check out Dublin - Madrid Ryanair and then Madrid to Paris CDG. on Tuesday
I think it should come in under the 100
fair play blob helping the others out.
Check out dublin - new york, new york cdg, its probably cheaper at this stage than flying direct.
GreatDaithi, that drive (if the airport is hahn) through the mountains onto luxenbourg, is not a motorway if i remember correctly for about 2 hours! It will take nice speed to do it in 5. NO **** stops etc on the way!
It's motorway now, by the look of google maps.Quote:

With Flybe.com You can get a return Manchester > Paris CDG for about £132 STG either Tues - Thurs (plenty of the cheaper flights out on the Tues) or Weds - Thurs (though the cheap flight on Weds is a very early flight so ud prob need to stay somewhere in Mcr).
Aer Aran, BMIbaby, Ryanair and Aerlingus all fly to Manchester from around the country (Galway, Knock, Dublin, Cork, Shannon off the top of my head) so Im sure you could get a v cheap connecting flight to Mcr.
Just checked Aerlingus DUB > MAN on those dates. FOC - just taxes and charges to pay so around 50euro a head. All in circa E200 pp for the flights.
Ryanair are doing deals with taxes and online checkin FOC - so you could possibly get that down to E30 - though Ive not checked.
Good luck!!
Also just checked Airfrance.co.uk
Manchester - Paris Wednesday 18 November 2009 AF1669 - 09:50 Arr 12:20
Paris - Manchester Thursday 19 November 2009 AF2268 - 13:15 Arr 13:45
£168 STG
Flight Times are pretty good. Could get a cheap early flight in to MAN from Ireland, Only need one nights accomadation in Paris. Get a reasonable lie in, in Paris and a late flight home from Manchester should see you right!
Could probably get all flights for circa 200-220 Euros + 1 Nights accomadation of E50.
Not bad going..............
No, it was some other crowd who were reselling the flights and adding on a fee. O'Leary said he has no issue with price comparison websites that just display the prices.Quote:

Dublin-Karlsruhe (Baden Baden) on Tuesday November 17th currently costs
38.37 Euros all taxes included. And there is a direct 3 hour TGV train
from Karlsruhe-Paris.
Thankfully I was able to get a direct flight but for those that have yet to book, this may be an option. The return flight is now 105 with decent flying times. You'll need to check up where the train goes from as it may go from Karlsruhe itself and not the airport. If this is the case check how far the airport is from the city as knowing Ryanair, it could be miles away. If this is ok though, and the times match up, it could be a very good option.
Similar to Paulies post.....
I checked out a train from Cologne on day of the game or day before and it was 3hrs 55m journey direct and between 25-35 euros (special pay in advance fare). I am working in Cologne on the Tuesday.
I think you can get decent cheap flights to Cologne form Ireland/UK or if not try Dussledorf and the train from there.
A bit of hassle but definitely a cheap way of doing it if time is not at a premium.
In the end I booked return from Mcr as it was a similar price but one night less away (Brownies Points with her indoors)
Monday flight with Aer Fungus to Paris has increased 80 from Monday's draw.
Sunday's is now the cheapest.
Does this happen in other countries or are we the only place that has to bend over and take it from behind if we want to support our country?
And why would it not happen in other countries. All airlines operate on the same principle. The amount of moaning about this issue every time we play away is pathetic.Quote:

Advance would be advisable. You will get screwed at the station as the trains will be very full.Quote:

That had occurred alright. Going on what I've read, I don't think the French will snap up their tickets that quickly, so I reckon I'll hang on to see how many, if any, tickets I get for the Irish end. If that fails I'll be calling in a favour!Quote:

You're crossing London from South to North but there is a train connection that takes about 80 minutes. See the link below - seems to be about £25 return off-peak.Quote:

We get it worse cos we're an island though. All the Continentals can just jump on trains to other countries.Quote:
