anyone know what time slovakia play their home matches? thinking about flying in on saturday morning to Vienna
At this stage it is not cheap or easy to get to Bratislava, and back from Prague for that matter. You would think that Ryanair will put on More flights to Vienna on Friday, 7th. The flights are booked out on the Friday, but they have put on more flights to certain places in the past when demand was strong enough. Any thoughts? Shouyd we hold our powder or pay through the nose?
To get to Bratislava you could take a look at flying to Budapest as I think it's only 2 hours or so away on the train. I think Aer Lingus fly direct.
Look at
Skyeurope to Bratislava and Prague
Ryanair via UK to Bratislava
Look at other posts as to the arrangements others have made to get there :eek:
going from manchester on a package deal for 389 sterling all in even includes taxes and coach to the matches 6 nights good value i thought!
That does sound like a good deal. Who did ya book that through? Hotels included aswell?
I have been checking all the different ways of getting there and back. None are ideal, but thats what I expected. For example the direct flight to Brat with Sky Eurpoe doesnt arrive there til 11.40pm on the friday.
We only booked our flights and hotels/apartments a couple of weeks ago...........found it very difficult to get accommodation in Bratislava!
sounds great value. hardly getting match tickets are yeQuote:

Flying from Dub-Eastmidlands and Eastmidlands-Bratislava with ryanair on the 7th.
Flying from Prague-Leeds Bradford with Jet2.com and from Leeds Bradford-Dublin with Ryanair on the 13th.
Was reading on the slovakia summary thread that the tickets can be purchased at ticketportal (their equivalent of ticketmaster). I take it they are not on sale yet. When they are on sale are people going to jump in and buy them as we did for the germany game or just hold out on the FAI. Do they fill out their stadium for the games? And even if so will there be more of us actually at the game to suggest the FAI will not be able to meet all requests?:confused:
Cheapest way as of now to fly dublin - bratislava, with what airline and what stopover? Presume train easiest way to get up to Prague from Bratislava any idea on the length and price?
Thinking of booking Dublin - east mid - Bratislava with Ryanair €135 7th Sept
and coming back Prague - Bristol - Dublin with Easyjet and Ryanair €75 13th Sept
yeah have seen that think they dont get great attendances for games . if i remember the czech game they had at home was not even sold out so hopefully we will be fine. the czechs only had 9000 at there game against cyprus on wed night as well.Quote:

I think when the tickets go on sale here they should be snapped up, I'm sure they will have a segregated area when they realise a lot of Irish fans will be attending and have bought tickets here. It seems from the recent run of results that there is a lot more interest in traveling to the game than before. As posted earlier people should try all avenues to get tickets and can't be relying on the FAI.Quote:

Flight to Budapest and 1 nights stay in a hotel, 2 nights stay in Bratislava in class appartments, 4 nights stay in Prague in classier apartments then a flight to London and a flight back to Galway with enough time in between for a few beers in London...€470 the lot
Booked our flights before Christmas. Just got around to arranging accomodation. Got a one bedroomed apartment for three of us through the website Dr. O recommended for €80 a night. Looks like it is very central and they were very helpful. Deposit can be paid by Paypal or bank transfer.Quote:

Heard a few dodgy stories about Russia alright but as far as I know the places in Eastern Europe are much better as they are more used to tourists than Russia. The 2 places we booked are below and they couldn't have been more polite, helpful or efficient. While the apartments in Prague were fairly easy to find it was a bit harder in Bratislava but I think we done fairly OK...both of the apartments below cost less than €40 per man per night.
Bratislava Apartment Kozia
Prague (Appt A4) Residence Belehradska/
Has anybody any feedback on the idea of getting tickets through the eastern Europe version of Ticketmaster?
Don't forget...up until very recently, this would be regarded as FIVE STAR ACCOMMODATION!!:DQuote:

They seem very professional to deal with so far. They have a map on the website showing where each apartment is and they are all within walking distance of the 0ld town in Bratislava. They also have pictures of the interiors and they look very modern and well equipped.Quote:

Anyway for €80 a night we will take the chance.
Staying in the City Hotel myself. The topless bar swung it for me.Rumour has it that Babysis or Green Tribe or even AidoM might be doing a nixer there.Quote:

12 of us staying in the Kyjev hotel in downtown Bratislava. Havent booked accommo in Prague, but there seems to be plenty.
anyone else travelling han solo for this trip??
i probably will get a hostel for bratislava for 3 nights if me mates dont go to this one (im heading over the friday, mates flying to prague on the monday)
Stayed there last year. Fantastic location but the hotel was decorated in the 70's to then Eastern european standards and hasn't changed since. Concierge was a massive football fan.Quote:

Its 30 euro per skull per night. It looks like summit out of ballymun past, but the location was crucial. I rang them a few days ago, and it is actually booked out for that w/e, but I found a hotels website that was displaying availability for those dates so i booked it. Not sure if they are still available, but you could try: www.hotelseverywhere.ie
Cant see us being in the hotel long enough to care about the decor. I just didnt want to be staying somehwere 10ks away.
