After securing the necessary holiday time off unexpectedly, I am now going to the match. I looked at flights and accomodation on Monday night and the flights from Edinburgh were quoted on BMI at £261.00. By Tuesday lunch time they were £332.90! Needless to say I booked them at this price.

I am flying out of the 06:50 flight from Edinburgh on the Tuesday morning and returning on the Wednesday on the 14:25 flight from Copenhagen. I have also booked a room in the Cab Inn just off the city centre for £57.00. A few of mates are going the day before from Manchester but are staying at the same hotel, so I will arrive in good time to wake them from their slumber.

I eventually booked with SAS Airlines and looking at the small print it states the flight will be operated by BMI. They must be air partners.

Anyway, how are you getting there and where are you staying?


Mon the South!

Do you have a screw loose? You could have went from Prestwick-London-Billund on the Monday, back Wednesday. Flights in total, including taxes are at £50 just now. Add £36 for booking with credit card (it's ryanair)

You paid £332.90

Well I could if I had the Monday off, sadly I don't. I also prefer direct flights where possible, spending half the day in an airport is not much fun.

Flying Monday 25th from Manchester to Copenhagen and back Wednesday.

Flights and hotels for 2 adults and 1 infant £537

Fair enough, but who wants to travel 261km in a country they dont know to get to Copenhagen.

i would much rather do that rather than have to spend an extra £150 or so. Trains in Europe when you are away for the football are magic.

Are they just magic for the football? Or magic all the time?

Magic all the time for football, otherwise magic sometimes.

Magic

We were a wee bit too quick off the mark and had flights booked before the announcement that the game was on the Tuesday. Thought it would save us a bit of cash to get in quick. Changed our flight out with a £40 admin fee but decided to keep the original flight back and see a bit of the country.

Flying Glasgow to Stansted at 6:15am on the Monday morning. Stansted to Copenhagen on the Monday afternoon. Flying with Easyjet. Coming back on the Friday. Staying at Hotel Loeven.

It came to about £180 for the flights plus a £40 admin fee for the change. Four nights accomodation for £120 each.

Is it not a Bank Holiday in Scotland on the Monday. It is in England - therefore I can decide anytime from Friday night - Monday for my flights out. Take in a bit of Copenhagen sightseeing before the match

Probably head from Stansted. Going to check out skyscanner for lowest deals.

Aberdeen-Copenhagen Monday dep 9:30 arriving 12:30 ish
Copenhagen-Aberdeen Wednesday 15:10 arriving 15:55

£307 with SAS (operated by Cimber)

Hotel not decided yet.

Also on BMI and in the CabInn, but leaving Edinburgh on the monday afternoon.

Spent a few days in the CabInn previously on a work trip, the rooms are compact to put it mildly and the quality of the landry dubious (bloodstained sheets in the first room I was given) but at least its well quite well situated and relatively cheap for an expensive town.

As you say it's cheap enough and in a decent location, so it should be okay to rest the head for a night.

Queens official packages with TMG are on sale for a bargain £495

Glad i booked early

Our official packages with them last year to Gothenburg weren't much cheaper.

Most fans made their own way and most saved quite a lot.

Hope you all enjoy it- I never made it to either of Pars recent European away games but looked quite an atmosphere.

Hope you do well

doe the qos package include travel to glasgow or do you have to get there by ursel? and also transport from airport to farum?

I'm at a wedding in Maidenhead on the Sunday so I'm heading over to Stansted on the Monday and flying to Copenhagen from there. Staying the Monday and Tuesday night at the CABINN Scandinavia Hotel. Sounds like a few more Doonhamers will be staying there as well!
Also the rail links from the airport to central Copenhagen and from Copenhagen to Farum seem very regular. Which is good.

We are driving to Stanstead overnight on the monday, flying out at 7am monday morning. Staying in a hostel, and then flying back about 5pm on wednesday, i think.

Irvo informs me you and him are booked on this, more money than sense!

I'm on the club trip. Looking forward to it immensely.

Dunno how we are getting there, or where we're staying, but I've got my ticket!

your right there!

See you there...that's the flight I'm out on.

Flying (SL)Easyjet 07:10 from Stansted to Copenhagen on the Monday and returning on the Wednesday 21:20 flight. Flights cost £75 and parking at Stansted will be a further £12

Rest of our party is flying direct from Edinburgh and we are staying at the Maritime Hotel which is in a quiet area between King's New Square and the waterfront and close to Nihavn.

It is also handily placed for most of the cultural sites and well away from the dodgy area round the Central station. Hotel was £90 or so a night for a single room and £112 for a twin.

Also really looking forward to the trip.

I was waiting for the official package to come out before arranging anything then (to cut a long story short) it was sold out by the time I tried to book it.

I know - if I was a real fan I'd hitchhike my way there or whatever. But I'm too old for that and the official package was exactly the hassle free journey I was looking for.

Still have nothing booked, and I'm starting to panic!

Get yourself searching now mate, I am sure there will still be reasonable prices to be had.


Edited to add:

Although I note the 06:50 flight out of Edinburgh on the Tuesday morning with BMI is now fully booked. The next one is out of Edinburgh, 09:30 I think and a return will set you back £360 with taxes now.

That's me booked flights from Edinburgh.

Fly out Tuesday 26th
Departing: 10:55
Arriving: 13:45

Fly back Wednesday 25th
Departing: 14:25
Arriving: 15:20

Total cost £360.90.

Edit to add -

My main concern now is the hassle and cost involved in getting to the stadium from Copenhagen. Anybody any solutions to this?

Great stuff. I will be on the same flight back.

flying out from birmingham on monday 25th 1910hrs
coming home on Wednesday 27th 1030hrs

the flights were a lot cheaper than any closer airport, but the fuel to drive from Dumfries down will probs mean its all the same really!

oh well! canny wait
anybody know what the weather's like over there?

Booked with KLM from Manchester £230, staying at the CABINN about 12 of us I think.

You may find this site useful, I was using to look at options for City's match in Denmark. Type in "Kobenhavns lufthavn" for the airport even though it's supposed to be an English page.

Depart Monday 25th Prestwick to Stansted at 06:50 then a long wait at the airport before going onwards to Copenhagen at 18:10. Staying at CABINN Scandanavia. Fly back Wedesday night and all for less than £300 cannae wait!!!

From the looks of things its not going to be a hassle mate. Trains run run every 15 mins from Copenhagen to Farum.
Just stick in your desired departure time. I'm aiming for 2pm. It takes 55 mins to get there. . Of course I have no idea how much it costs but if your paying that much for flights then it should not be a problem.
http://fahrplan.oebb.at/bin/query.exe/en?L...22&OK#focus

Awesome! I heard the CABINN Scandanavia is very luxurious.

19oC and light showers

Th CABINN is the place to be!

if theres nothing to copenhagen,try malmo its only 30-45 mins away across the bridge by bus and theres plenty of them from the airport to copenhagen
im pretty sure ryanair fly direct from prestwick


enjoy yerself folks

The train also goes across the bridge, Malmo is quite nice for a stop off, Gothenburg is also only 3 hours or so away and connected by a decent rail service.

Can't believe people are worrying about getting to the ground/airport/etc this is Europe we're going to not third world Britain.

I think my brother-in-law is thinking about taking the camper and driving!

Better leave now!!

has anyone got there away leg ticket sent through to them yet? mines hasnt been delivered just wondering?

Still waiting for mine too.

I am staying at the Zleep Airport Hotel for 2 nights and was wondering if anyone else is staying there too.

NOBODY has their away leg ticket yet. The club hasn't received them yet.

There's been a change of plan on that front. We'd been told they had been despatched from Denmark but apparently they hadn't and in fact whoever it is that is coming over from Nordsjaelland to watch us at Dunfermline tomorrow is bringing them in person. So they won't go out until Monday or Tuesday instead. Don't panic.

We'll get a news item up on the new official site today about this if the thing ever launches.

cheers SD

I agree!

We are staying at the Comfort Excelsior near the Central Station.

Well im travelling to Manchester from train to carlisle then a trian to preston then bus to manchester. Get the 19:10 flight on the monday evening.
