Italy Away - 1st April 2009

**Lodger** · 06/03/2009, 3:11 PM

Seems about the norm, our hotel is �60 each per night.

**rambler14** · 06/03/2009, 3:47 PM

That ticket confirmation site is still down!

**Dr. Ogba** · 06/03/2009, 5:24 PM

Was anyone on the Ryanair flight from stansted to Bari on the Monday? The feckers have rescheduled it from an evening flight to 7 am...royally f*cked me over now

can anyone suggest similar flights at this late stage????

**MariborKev** · 06/03/2009, 6:40 PM

Aye same as Dr Ogba.

That is both legs of that flight have changed times, yet they did the rescheduling six weeks apart!!!!!!

Is there an airline regulator we can contact about this?

Yeah, we're in the Boston which is �
66 for sunday and monday, and then the rond'o on the tues and weds which is about the same as well.

Should be a good laugh all the same, lets hope there's no boxin that weekend.
Must disable the 3g on the phone this time

dunno i was thinking that though....i had a flight booked from Dublin that afternoon but now looks like i'll have to reschedule and stay over in london on the Sunday...problem with that is i paid only 15 euro for the flight on the Monday and the flights on the Sunday are around 80 euro! does any other airline fly to stansted from Dublin?

**Nolimits** · 07/03/2009, 6:25 PM

Just looking for a bit of advice here. Got two tickets from Fai. When booking it used a mates name (on the block booking list) but he's not actually going. When it comes to filling in the personal details, should I use his name or is it ok to go with the bloke who is actually going?

**elroy** · 07/03/2009, 6:40 PM

�12 a head per ticket, now thats what i call recession prices...nice one!! Presumably it means we've been allocated the upper tier and probably behind the goal

Try the Days Inn at the nearby motorway service station about �40 per night + �7/�8 cab. Here

I am down in Bari at present, staying in a hotel 18km from the centre - they are full for the match - it will be hard to find anywhere near Bari at this point.

Weather windy and sunny, I am ready (I think) to go for a walk along the beach

Here is the link for info about buses to and from stadium etc.

I did wonder what your angle was in the beginning but now I know . Sorry but I have never been into pre arranged trips but I am sure a few may be . Good luck to you but this is one that I will give a very wide berth to .

Same here smells like another Irish person taking advantage and trying to scam the fans again.

as far as i can make out you can walk to the ground in 20/30 mins, no worse than o'connell st to croker, why any1 wud take the bus is beyond me, the craic on the way to the stadium in prague was not to be missed

**Dr. Ogba** · 08/03/2009, 1:23 PM

wexfordman, your only other option is to get the early morning Dublin to Milan flight then get the connecting flight to Bari (think its about 7 in the evening so there's a bit of a wait)

We're gonna do this on the Sunday now after all of this strike talk for the Monday

So the question now is how "accommodating" Ryanair will be with my flight changes now

from the scots experience its not walkable

**Colie** · 08/03/2009, 7:09 PM

That stupid ticket website is still down. Are the FAI in league with An Post to give them business? That's it. Bloody scoundrels.

**rambler14** · 08/03/2009, 7:11 PM

Sure if it's not back by tomorrow just drop in the post Tuesday or something!
