Any hotels "block booked" Des ?

Not knowing the area, or how the postal codes work in Austria, I"m not sure which are the nearest hotels. Anybody with any "local" knowledge....?

I"d be interested to hear if anyone can get reasonable flights from Glasgow, Edinburgh or Prestwick - £255 from Glasgow on KLM the only one I can find so far.

Booked a hotel in the middle of Weiner Neustadt -- Hotel Zentral
46 Euros a night for Einbettzimmer (double room for single use).

Working on the flights from manchester, cheapest so far £212 via Munich to Vienna. Weiner Neustadt is about 50km from vienna but the trains are good.

Next stop the sats to defray the expense.

The Duke is about to hit Austria, lock up your Kaiser Beer Doppelmalz..........

also booked hotel zentral - will probably book the BA flight from manchester as well, you know what you are getting with BA, and the return looks ok - not to early. Bring on the qualifiers

I can get there filthy cheap from Paderborn which is 20 minutes down the road from me in Germany. However I don"t get back from Norway until 14 Mar, and am planning a family holiday.

So really I think I"ll have to give this a miss, as its not really fair on my family. Taking them to Vienna is not really an option either, as the boys are a bit young. I think Lucy would kill me!!!!

However good luck to all that play and if its in the same location next year, I"ll play (when I get back from Afghan lol)

Oh, top tip. The place is really stunning for architecture. Try the following sites:

Vienna City Park for big ferris wheel shown in Bond film and "The Globe" (basically a bloke declared independence from Austria, when they wanted to bulldoze his house in the park. He turned it into a globe, barricaded himself in and printed his own currency/stamps etc.

Food market, lots of cosmopolitan market stalls selling freshly cooked food...

"The Bermuda Triangle"...a triangle of streets full of little bars, that all sell tequila. Basically if u go in one side and drink tequial at every bar all the way round you won"t come out...
