Hi all,
I opened this space because I think that we can share some information about connections from one city to another, hotels and somethings like that.
I bought Berlin and London but I'd like to get also Manchester but seems that Ryan Air and Easy jet doesn't connect Berlin from Manchester, what do you suggest?
Also, Paul, do you think is a good choice traver from Manchester to Lond by Train?

(I think this informations and others are good for all of us!)

I lived in Manchester some years ago.

My advice is to fly to Liverpool, theres a 1 hour bus to the center of Manchester.

definitely the cheapest option Mass

I got flights from east midlands to berlin and back for me my wife and my little boy for £200 all in. Not bad, still a lot considering the flights were a measly 9.99 each.

For some reason my little boys flights were double the price of mine :o

I have already approached our man in the know, Norman, and I know he will come back to us, but does anyone know or have any idea where they may stay in berlin yet? I'm looking for a fairly nice hotel (wifes demands ;) )

Ok, posted this in the other thread...

Berlin: Wombats hostel is great and fairly priced.

Massimo, try to fly at Eindhoven Airport. They have much cheaper flights and you can get there from Rome, Milan, Pescara and Pisa. A little over 1 hour by train to Rotterdam from there.

oh shit Vic, i think its because they are 'work days', the trick is to book tcikets usually as singles - returns are very very expensive, two singles can often be bought for 20 pound as long as you do not wish to travel during rush hour. I'll have a little look around for you guys

What about to rent a car from Manchester to London. It's not that far. Maybe 3 or 4 hours. I think you have to be early in London if you want to be in the first row.

It would be cool if we can travel all together from Berlin to Manchester. Maybe we can also book cheap flights from Berlin to London, rent a car and drive to Manchester on Sunday. I think that's no big deal. And after the Manchester show we drive back with the car to London. Just my 2cents.
