UK Flight Plans to Norway! Smasher's Reunion July 13-15th, 2012 BOOKING TODAY £32!!!

[Fuzzyness]

Yo!

Basically I'll be organizing the flights to Norway for

Smashers' Reunion : Melee Grande (VENUE WITH SPACE FOR 2500 PEOPLE) - July 13-15th, 2012 - Eidsvoll, Norway


I got a ryanair card that avoids all administration fees and nonsense, so I guess it'd be best if I booked for everyone to save £10 at least each + everyone knows I'm pro at finding cheap travel =)


Cost:


Flight Costs

Flights are down to £32!

Question is, should we wait more for prices to go down? They could turn to £10-30 (should we wait till april/may?) The prices may go up again

London Stansted -> OSLO Rygge

Outwards

Monday -> Sunday Anytime £16

Inwards

Sunday -> Next Week Anytime £16

Also using this site:

http://www.kayak.co.uk/flights#LON-OSL,RYG,TYF/2012-07-12/2012-07-16

Tournament Costs

Venue Fee + Singles + Doubles = Around £50

Hotel = Around £45/50 to cover all the nights (4 people in each room) ...quite pricy, unless you want to sleep in the venue which is free after you pay the venue fee but it wont be easy to sleep.

Current Flight Cost - £32
Current Holiday Total - £100-110 £32 flight + £6-10 airport coach + £37.50 tournament costs + £25 travel to Eidsvoll Verk



Feel free to discuss about the plans too in this thread, any help would be great as well


I'd like a serious interested list.. only interested if you CAN afford this without a doubt. I think I'm gonna start booking around March/April

[Fuzzyness]

Updated the first post with costs

Norway wont be cheap

 

[stelzig]

You can fly to Gardemoen (the much more convenient airport) with norwegian for £125,52. Or actually for £100,31 if you leave at 20 on friday, but only one seat left for that price (38,61) and that's kinda late too.

You save £44 on travelling. As well as 2 hours of travelling (one way)

Don't know if you would prefer the cheaper route, but figured i'd show you the alternative
http://www.norwegian.com/

Edit: Actually the local travelling might be both ways now that I think about it... 56 NOK for 5 minutes of travelling sounds overly expensive

 

[ajp_anton]

You could also look at flights to Gothenburg. If Ryanair happens to have crazy cheap flights there, looks like it's <£40 from there to Oslo and back by bus. Could be anything down to £20 if you're lucky, but £40 seems to be the most common.
Don't know where exactly the Oslo airports are located relative to the venue, but the Gothenburg airport is very close to the city, and the bus takes you to Oslo Central.

 

[Fuzzyness]

stelzig you didnt read my post, the flight is 66 atm, if you think £125 is cheap you are a fool. That site is just more expensive -_-

thats a good point ajp ill check that too...meh its around the same price to fly there around that time =/

 

[stelzig]

I didn't say that I think it is cheap, but that it was the more convenient airport and I know ryanair doesn't fly to gardemoen.

Of course there still is a chance that some other company will fly to gardemoen cheaper, but idk. Norwegian was cheap enough from Denmark (£47 - ryanair still cheaper here, but ryanair doesn't fly from Copenhagen either, so inconvenient for most danes (not me) from here too )

If you're willing to travel with public transport in Oslo for 2 hours and 13 minutes rather than 5 and save some money on the plane, that's cool. Just wanted to inform people that it isn't the best airport you will get to

 

[Fuzzyness]

im searching all 3 really stelzig

 

[stelzig]

It seems to be really hard to find something for gardermoen in general. Must be a small airport. I'm just glad that the cheapest route (when you add travelling expenses in Norway) actually seems to have been the most convenient from here as well

I suppose the gap between prices here is a little steep to give norwegian priority. Though I still think it's a good idea to keep an eye on the option (considering you do save those £44 in Oslo. unless you expect being able to catch a ride or something)

 

[Fuzzyness]

norway just seems kinda expensive in general, the country =/

 

[Bullet Bill]

this is unfortunately, quite expensive despite Fuzzs pro cheap flight fining skills. It's unlikely that I'll be going to this because of the price

 

[ajp_anton]

Just keep checking this thread. This tournament is still well out of range from Ryanair's low-price wave which is usually about 2 months ahead.

 

[Fuzzyness]

yeah its true ajp, im giving it time

the price will go down by about £20/30 hopefully

 

[VA]

Kipkosky will be going.

You're flying with me babez.

 

[Cpt.Zeppo]

s'hapnin man

 

[Fuzzyness]

not much, prices havent gone down yet

 

[DevMBC]

very interested just need to make sure i have the money. will keep my eye on the thread and keep in touch

 

[Fuzzyness]

Flights are down to £44-56 depending on how long we stay. £44 is pretty damn good and we can get a whole week there as a group it would be fun.

Question is, should we wait more for prices to go down? They could turn to £10-30 (should we wait till april/may?) The prices may go up again

London Stansted -> OSLO Rygge

[Fuzzyness]

price is still the same

 

[Jolteon]

Good thing I specifically put some money away for this... lol.

 

[gm jack]

These prices are fine if we can get housed for the duration. Wouldn't fancy a weeks worth of hotel on top of this.

 

[Fuzzyness]

price is still £44

 

[Jolteon]

Shouldn't we book soon? I am worried about the price increasing.

 

[ajp_anton]

If you wait longer and the prices don't change, they will still get relatively cheaper thanks to inflation =).

 

[Fuzzyness]

THE FLIGHT IS NOW £40 RETURN

IM GONNA BOOK ON FRIDAY
IF YOU ARE 100% GOING PLEASE TELL ME ASAP
ONLY IF YOU CAN DEFINITELY AFFORD IT / WILL BE ABLE TO SAVE THE MONEY EASILY I WILL BOOK FOR YOU
NO MAYBES


However, I would like the money back asap this time because I dont have much money currently and paying for all the flights would make me so poor
If you can Bank transfer / Paypal me the money tomorrow that'd be great


What days would you guys like to go? I want to treat this like a holiday so im looking on

- Going on Tuesday
- Leaving on Sunday Night / Monday Morning


The flight did go down but only a lil, if we waited another month maybe it could go down even more

 

[Yeniths]

I can paypal you money ofc

are we staying at the hotel or being housed etc?

 

[Fuzzyness]

not sure of that yet :/

 

[Fuzzyness]

The flights are now £32 who wants to go!?!? IM BOOKING LATER TODAY/TOMORROW

ITS THE ESTIMATE COST!! =D

 

[Fuzzyness]

Tournament costs are

£20 Venue
£7.50 Teams
