Georgia Away - 6th September 2008

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.

Very good tip ORA!

What insurance do you have, is it the Ryanair insurance.

**RonnieB** · 27/08/2008, 10:38 AM

Have my own multitrip insurance.

**NeilMcD** · 27/08/2008, 10:39 AM

Can you just claim that back no matter what the reason is.

**RonnieB** · 27/08/2008, 11:56 AM

Apparently yes! I did not organise it myself had it done through work.

Will it be easy enuff to get tickets in Karlsruhe cos a few of us will be travellin up from Munich on the day of the match? Any ideas about the time of kick-off?

**NeilMcD** · 27/08/2008, 1:14 PM

It has not even been confirmed yet so kick off times etc is a bit jumping the gun. Tickets I am sure will be fine but this really is unchartered territory so usual rules do not apply.

Its down for 5pm Irish time on a TV listings site.
