NORTH GERMANY May 2008- Seriously now: maps, itinerary, prices

Peanuts · Dec 6, 2007

This is one thing I don't like about searching for plane tickets (see... told you I was serious)

We're sorry, the price of this flight has changed from C$406.00 to C$2,257.00

Oh noooooooooooooooooooooooo! :cry:

but ticket prices fluctuate ...

did you try montreal - paris? I recently invited someone for a job interview from ottawa, and the cheapest flight to Germany we could get was montreal - paris.

The problem is I will likely be flying out of Dubai - so I am guessing that might be why the prices are absolutely ridiculous. I am sure I will find something - super sleuthing skills matched with an acquired university student's frugal-ness will prevail!

Hm, Dubai - Düsseldorf should not be too expensive... at least at work lots of our flights to Japan go via Dubai.

Peanuts · Dec 6, 2007

Oh, I might have found a different route - via London. As long as it is through the same airport I might have found something affordable! Will update within the next week or so.

I've been doing a bit more research and Bremen looks like a good airport to fly to. Imagine all of us flying on the same plane.

doenoe · Dec 6, 2007

I could fly to Bremen too

Well, it looks like you guys are going to have a lot of fun.
To bad it wasn't 2 weeks ago when I was visiting Bentheim just across the border from the Netherlands.
We were there for 6 weeks.
Ah, well, next time better, I'm back in Canada again.
No harm done.

This is so you can see how far away the airports are from where I live and how you can get from there to here:

Hamburg-Fuhlsbüttel to here:

Hamburg-Lübeck to here:

Bremen to here:

Hannover-Langenhagen to here:

Düsseldorf Airport to here:

Berlin-Schönefeld to here:

oh, from my place to your place it is 340 km? wow ... I better fuel up my car well!

ferny · Dec 7, 2007

340km = 1 1/2 tanks for fuel for me. :mrgreen:

Been looking at the train options. You can't book further ahead than the start of April with Eurostar right now. It'll be around £30 to get from London to Paris. I've no idea on the Paris to Hamburg prices as it wouldn't let me book. But it says that final leg will take 11 hours!
