Not seeing anything remotely like that price, it's all well above 100. What site did you use to seek out said fares? The cheapest ones so far seem to be from manchester.

The ryanair website, the flight is still coming out at £45 for me. Departing the 22nd and coming back the 24th.
Gee.... I don't know about the rest of you guys, but lately the only things that truly motivate me are erections and bowel movements.

Thank the Police coming straight from the underground...

guys, which flight from stansted do you reckon you'd get?
There is one at like 6am, and one later on but it arrives at Lubeck at half 10 - from experience, lubeck is actually a longish journey from hamburg city centre, I remember being on a bus for about 50 minutes or more.
Ideally, we want to stay over at the ace hostel we stayed at before wacken last year, but we arrived a bit earlier last time and had a free guaranteed bus in to hamburg from the airport.

If we aimed for the same flight, it would be feasable to pool for a taxi to Hamburg in which case the latter is decent.

I'd planned on heading strait to the festival, but yeah 6am flight. I live like 20 minutes from stansted so it's no problem for me.

Yeah there is actually a £2 bus from literally the end of my road that goes straight to Stansted, so it's feasable...

Think we should go for that then, getting in at half 10 would be a nightmare with hostels and stuff. Was a right kerfuff last time

Yeah I'd REALLY like to, I'm just lazy at looking into these things until it's too late. I will try though.

It says that... but would be soo dam funny if we turned up and it was just us guys hahaha

Someone mentioned a hostel earlier...is that just for the day before? I assume there is free camping on site and James you must come (im sure il end up not getting a ticket somehow) but James most of the leg work has been done for you !!
