Probably to do with people booking it. Thats how the system works, the more demand the higher the price.

Fly to hahn or frankfurt proper.

So what do we think?.........Germany?

**NeilMcD** · 27/08/2008, 9:31 AM

I think it will be Germany but I think the booking etc is premature as FIFA are having their meeting at the moment. It is going to be Germany or Tiblisi. No doubt about that now. I think all this confusion has been caused by Reuters taking one part of the Georgian statement and reporting that bit and that bit only. This has been picked up by the times and and a few other media organs.

It was always going to be that the GFF had to submit a venue by last night and then FIFA were going to sit down and meet today and decide which it was to be.

Air Berlin fly there from London & Manchester too, they may not react so quickly with the prices as Ryanair.

They are feck1n expensive!.

...so must have realised something was happening

**BradyIsMyHero** · 27/08/2008, 11:35 AM

Indo have dropped the "definitely in Karlshruhe" story from their website.

Irish Times have changed theirs to "decision awaited today"

If it is confirmed for karlsruhe other options are with ryanair through stanstead to Baden-baden or direct from dublin to basle. Via London City to Strasbourg with Cityjet might also be possible and I know quite a few german budget airlines fly to Stuttgart. I reckon, though, that Aer Lingus to Frankfurt is prob one of the best. Hahn is a pain in the arse to get to and from. If you fancied a bit of a drive through the black forest, friedrichshafen could also be considered.

Of course, all this might prove academic if FIFA decide that Tiblisi is OK after all....

Aer Lingus are the best at the moment into Frankfurt, heading out Saturday morning, back Sunday, with a direct train from the airport into Karlsruhe. You're still looking at �200 for flights though.

**RonnieB** · 27/08/2008, 12:43 PM

The train is 70, 35 euro each way.
