Gala Tartan Army (Borders) Posted December 8, 2023 Share Posted December 8, 2023 What flights are people using to get to this game? For family reasons I am having to come back after Germany game (which ive already booked) but looking to go back out for Hungary for couple of days. As expected flights are very expensive. Best found so far is Newcastle to Frankfurt Sat to Mon for £400. Should have booked up earlier but after watching Scotland fukk up for last 20 years didnt want to jinx us!

Grim Jim Posted December 8, 2023 Share Posted December 8, 2023 We held off as well, but come the draw prices rose again. I'm no help sorry, but also flying from Newcastle to Frankfurt for the Switzerland/Hungary games, and got no bargain either. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Grim Jim Posted December 8, 2023 Share Posted December 8, 2023 Have you thought of going as foot passengers from Hull to Rotterdam and getting trains? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GHfaeGTA Posted December 8, 2023 Share Posted December 8, 2023 Check out Lufthansa site/app. Has one way fare from Gatwick for £102 on 22nd. 11.15 flight to Frankfurt then train to Stuttgart. All in fare Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dezmondo Posted December 8, 2023 Share Posted December 8, 2023 (edited) Slim pickings with accommodation. We've booked 17th - 24th and plan to stay in the Stuttgart area. Hotels are just unaffordable, Airbnb ok but quite far out. Edited December 8, 2023 by dezmondo Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We are only one night in Stuttgart as €300 a night for a 2 star hotel was cheapest could find Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PSJ84 Posted December 10, 2023 Share Posted December 10, 2023 Getting home look a bit of a pain in the arse for us too. £85 from Baden-Baden is decent, but the 6am flight is putting us off as it’s a bit away from Stuttgart. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Baden-Baden is a great place to stay . Been there a few times. Main thing to be aware of is the train station is a quite a bit away from the centre .

I think there are a couple of direct trains a day. Might not be cheap though. Also Basel-Mulhouse- Freiburg Europort (airport is a shared French, German, Swiss thing) and get the train from there. I had looked at Freiburg as a possible base and accommodation quite cheap. Or Strasbourg... but don't think flight options will ve good Edited December 10, 2023 by GLOSTA typos Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Freiburg meant to be nice city i hear. Did look at Strasbourg too but looks a pretty small airport as you say. Ill try looking at Paris too, sounds decent option.

Try the Rome 2 Rio app.... it provides good routes Or the DB app for train routes can be useful Edited December 10, 2023 by GLOSTA Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
uber_shnuber Posted December 10, 2023 Share Posted December 10, 2023 (edited) On the Lufthansa website/app, you can search for Manchester - Stuttgart Train Station and it does a package deal of flight to Frankfurt plus high speed train to Stuttgart. The package is actually cheaper than the flight on it's own! We're doing 22nd - 25th and it came in at £135 return (boked a couple of days ago). Still available at £135 (though depends on what time you fly) if you're able to get yourself to Manchester airport and back (there's direct trains from Edinburgh). Edited to add you can also do the same deal for Cologne, and similar for Munich. Edited December 10, 2023 by uber_shnuber Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bvborussia Posted December 27, 2023 Share Posted December 27, 2023 Travel with Eurowings from Berlin to Stuttgart on 22nd til 24th... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Craig Fae Hamilton Posted January 9 Share Posted January 9 On this one we are doing a Train Journey out the place at 2.26am, accomodation is a non starter. But the next day Croatia Play Italy in Leipzig at 9pm. Our Trains outta Stuttgart get us into Leipzig at 9.10am where we have a Hotel booked. 51€ for 2 with the 25% Discount Rail Card. It might possibly be a journey from hell though! Just saying, 3x10 Pointers trying to get tickets for Switzerland Game. Followed Scotland Loads over years, this is Sons 2nd ever Away Trip (we were in Cyprus and didn't get a Scotland Ticket). If anybody can help with 1 ticket, AMAZING!

Bristolhibby Posted January 30 Share Posted January 30 Try Eurowings from Heathrow. We are flying out to Düsseldorf for the Swiss game and back from Stuttgart. Helps I live an hour and a half away from Heathrow. J Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Craig Fae Hamilton Posted January 30 Share Posted January 30 I see lots of people looking for accomodation for this. We have 2 reasonably priced Rooms booked which we will swap for any 3 Tickets for Switzerland game. Alternatively we would be happy to sell Rooms and put the money towards buying Switzerland Tickets. As we will pay over the odds for tickets, cost of Rooms if we sell them would be priced to contribute to the cost of us buying our Switzerland Tickets. A Straight swap is preferred.

Komodo Posted February 27 Share Posted February 27 Is anyone staying in Karlsruhe for the match? We are flying into Paris on the 20th, night out there and then catching the direct train to Karlsruhe on the 21st. Fly home from Paris on the 25th. I was wondering if anyone knows if there will be trains back from Stuttgart to Karlsruhe after the match? saw one advertised at 11 but no chance of making that.
