Just booked flights £134.80 fri out/monin.Heathrow, be quick.BA.com.


Blimey - those two flights are now £295.

Everyone searching for those two days has pushed the price through the roof.


Bugger!


Caz and I were quoted £295 each earlier this week for a Thurs departure and Tues return.

Flights are looking exceedingly expensive.

Although a coach is not a perfect way of getting there I may be able to provisionally offer a coach service departing from the midlands with say a london/heathrow pick up direct to wiener neustadt

Have made a provisional enquiry with a couple of decent quality midland companies and if the quotes look feasable I will put up some details on monday/tuesday next week to see what people think.

Would be prepared to organise it

No promises  at this stage just looking at other options
WSOP 2014 Seniors 207th - A cash at last!
WSOP 2011 Horse just off a cash :(
WSOP 2012 Horse Crap.  Stud Hi Lo 3 off money :(
3 x Horse WCOAP Final Tables
1 x Razz WCOAP Final Table
Apat Series PLO Runner up 2011
3 x APAT NLH Top 10 Finishes

BA are still doing the following flights for around £155pp

Outbound leaving Heathrow Friday 18:40 arrive Vienna 21:55

Inbound leaving Vienna Monday 11:40 arrive Heathrow 13:15

Looks good value at the moment compared to some other quotes being mentioned on this thread.

For any one wondering how to get from Vienna Airport to Wiener Neustadt, this may be useful - http://fahrplan.oebb.at/bin/oebb.w02/query.exe/en

Coach sound like a great idea - 40 players on a two day coach drive accross europe. I can see it now - couple of cases of beer - poker on the move - stopping in amsterdam for a convienience break, (toilet of course - dirty minded ppl). Then same on way back singing old folk songs that we picked up there. Count me in - oh and the wife says shes coming along, better scrap that stop in the dam - straight to vienna.

Good luck tonight people.

Actually, that does sound like a good idea, I hate flying.  About thirty players, about 1000 cans of Fosters, one or two bags of Kettle Chips, on a coach with tables so we can have a few Sit n Go"s.  Also one of those fancy ones with beds, no need for a hotel.  I have no sense of smell so the stench won"t be a problem for me. 

All good trips abroad should have the potential for disaster, this sounds perfect.  Fear and Loathing in Wiener Neustadt.

Keep me posted if this becomes a realistic idea.

Sounds like a good choice.  Wouldn"t want Marion Jones though - she"d cheat.
