Galah/GT That is a joke: They are bacicallyOriginally Posted by Green Tribe
galah., we are getting the same response from air baltic, can't believe they won't do destination change that's crap,
Asking you to fly into an area where multiple countries including our own have deemed unsafe with no insurance as it would be invalidated. If this doesnt come under force majeure I dont know what does
FORCE MAJEURE” means unusual and unforeseeable circumstances beyond your control, the consequences of which could not have been avoided even if all due care had been exercised.
Are the circumsstances unusual - Yes
Were they unforeseable - yes
were they beyond your control - yes
could they have been avoided - no
Ask them how is it not force majuere ? you will get a credit in the end.

will try newry rep. rumour now is the game may still be in georgia!
Now I may be wrong here but wasn't the 24th of August the day that FIFA had given them to decide a new venue ?
And is this the 25th today or am I losing it altogther ( don't answer that one )
According to the FAI website they have until the 26th to name an alternative venue
did you book through czech airlines or like me through expediaor other website
Looks more likely to be "back" in Tbilisi.......unfortunately

Tact is for people who are not witty enough to be sarcastic
hopin it still is to be honest ...have spent enough on gettin there and away at this stage!
Just had a look at the map of Europe and if any of these three come up we should be sorted from Vienna, just need to make our way from Vienna to any of these by train journey but not too bad 2 1/2 hours from Vienna to Graz 6-7 hours to Krackow and 9 Hours to Karlsruhe??? I vote for Vienna and back to Charlie P's great crack there last year between the Slovakia and Czech games It will probably be still in Tbilisi but at least we have alternatives!

booked direct through czech airlines, they actually rang antofact today and asked him did he want to travel or a refund.
they obviously dont remember him travelling with them last year

The game has been confirmed for the German town of Karlsruhe according to Setanta.
They are just quoting reuters who are quoting the Georgian FA and what he said was that they will nominate Karlsrhue as the neutral venue but will still ask Fifa to play it in Tiblisi, As far as I know there is a meeting tomorrow and FIFA must decide then.
In Trap we trust
Stadium in Karshrue only holds 14,724 people seated, over 18,000 extra on terraces, so we would be only entitled to 1,474 tickets, if the Georgians are awkward!

If the match isnt on in Germany I'll cry and scream

How far is it from Frankfurt (Main Airport) to Karlshrue? Would Frankfurt-Hahn be quicker travel wise? Also any ideas what time kick off is at?
According to the Irish Times this will be finally settled today with Karlsruhe looking the most likely:

They also say "Karlsruhe, which is within easy reach of three airports (Baden-Baden, Frankfurt and Stuttgart), is near the French-German border in the south-west of the country" so going to look into flights now as can't make Montenegro game and couldn't justify a weekend trip to Georgia.
It's about 90mins by car and train to Karlsruhe. It is far easy to get to Karlsruhe via the proper Frankfurt Airport
Havent checked the fares yet, but the nearest Airport is Karlsruhe-Baden (FKB), which is a Ryanair Airport. You can get there via Dublin and Stansted (amongst others)
Ryanair looking for €360 plus taxes from Dublin. Lufthansa want crazy money to Frankfurt but Aer Lingus not too bad at €180.
Any idea for kick off time? Might try fly in the morning of the game, no ticket but feck it a night away anyway

Something to be aware of for those who have booked flights to Georgia, Montenegro and home and are considering scrapping the Georgia leg and picking up the rest of the route, IF you are booked on one reservation (one PNR) and you don't show for a flight leg (eg Dublin-Tblisi), most airlines reservation systems automatically cancel the remaining legs of your trip.
Obviously doesn't apply to those who booked each flight separately eg with a low cost carrier who don't offer interlining.
Something to be mindful of for those who are booking another flight to Karlesruhe and planning to pick up their existing flights to Montenegro later.
