I would like a cup of tea.

I"m not going to this event unfortunately but the people that are going seem to be having problems organising transfers from the airport to the venue.

I don"t know if anyone"s already looked in to this but I usually find that if you"re 20 miles or more from the airport then you"re as well hiring a car.

You can usually book them with your flight and they often work out very cheap especially if you book one between 5 of you. I think you"ll find it works out cheaper than 5 return train tickets and it"s definitely easier and less stressful. They also come in handy for getting between the hotel and the venue and anywhere else you might fancy.

Hope this might help someone. If it does please feel free to buy me a pint at the next regional or national

Ich möchte liebkosen Ihre Gesäß

Is this the way to train station?

Saying this will not get you to the station, but will get you arrested! (good work Rio!)

try saying "wo ist der bahnhof?"

You mean my phrase book is incorrect??

your phrasebook is working great, as is your cruel sense of humour!

cheapest car hire i have found is £77 with lastminute.com for a corsa..... or similar

not many car hire firms have automatics with hand controls
i wouldnt go within a mile of a car driven by brendan
and could you imagine bigfella technolog or duke sober?

[john_steele]

all these costs keep adding up. I am still thinking the coach would be a good idea. No need for transfers - maybe 30 euros for an overnight stop somewhere if you didnt fancy sleeping on the coach. i have told the coach firm to keep it pencilled in until after clickfest - but we have got around 15 people interested - looking for around 35 more.

Come on guys, whats this issue with the airport being 20 miles from the city?

Face it, LHR is further than that to London - as are most of our airports. The airport will have its own airport bus transfers!!!!!!!!!

If you have a decent hotel booked, they usually have their own shuttle service too...

I wouldn"t worry about it. Just sort it when you get there.

Well I have booked my flight. Going out on the Saturday 6.40am BA flight out of Heathrow, just hope its not delayed! Is anyone else going to be on that flight? Travelling back on the 11.40 BA back to heathrow.

Planning to stay in the Hotel Freizeit Tempel. Has a Sauna which could be nice on the Sunday morning!

[Zukertort]

I am flying Friday, but back on the 11.40 on Monday and also staying at the Tempel. I will either see you in the bar or the sauna!

Perhaps part of the problem is the the event is not taking place in "the city" (Vienna), but in another town about 30 miles south of the city.

My plans are similar...

Re the Hotel..did you book via their website or through some other means.

I ask as i have yet to do this...gotta clickfest first!

[DrMarbles]

OK, I have bitten the bullet and am in. 14:35 from Heathrow on the Friday and 15:05 back on Monday (priced dropped to £215 after spiking at £295 so I decided that was good enough (and I didn"t fancy getting up at 4.30am for a cheaper flight)).

Staying at the Orange Wings place - £30 a night isn"t bad. I assume it"s similar to, but better than, the ETAP in Cardiff.

[Luke1]

I am now booked into the Tempel.

Will be a nice early start on the Saturday morning to get that flight out, but cant wait for the weekend to start!

[Zukertort]

The hotel website has an email link, where you get a response within a few minutes. Press booking & then email your required dates, room requirements etc-best of luck!
