Gary Stirling Posted February 12, 2016 Posted February 12, 2016 I noticed a few people asking about a possible bus from Paris to Metz. This is the best option for me as I would like to get in and out in 1 day for as cheap as possible. The flight I'm intending on getting is the 9am Glasgow to Paris on Saturday 4th June and return flight is 7.30am Sunday 5th (this is what causes the issue as the first train to Paris from Metz is not early enough, also the last train on the Saturday night from what I can see is 6pm!) this is currently £128 with Air France. I got a quote for a 50 seater coach picking up from Charles de Gaulle airport at 1pm on the Saturday, taking us through to Metz and dropping us off in the City Centre and then picking us up from the Stadium at 11.30pm and taking us back to the airport, bear in mind it's around 3-4 hours drive each way. The quote is for 2,827 euros, this equals 56 euros per person which is around £44. If there is enough interest I will look into getting it booked, it is 30% deposit on booking with the balance 15 days before. First time looking into this kind of thing so sorry if it's a load of rubbish! Cheers.
binobear Posted February 12, 2016 Posted February 12, 2016 Hi mate, 2 of us here that wanted those flights but we're stuck for travel options back from Metz so would be right up for this. Maybe a few more of us,
Gary Stirling Posted February 12, 2016 Author Posted February 12, 2016 Brilliant, hopefully we can get something sorted fast before flight prices start to creep up.
Gary Stirling Posted February 13, 2016 Author Posted February 13, 2016 Update : Recevied another quote for €1,800 plus driver meal and parking so tops €2,000, this would equal €40 per person based on 50 people which is around £30. Thanks.
binobear Posted February 13, 2016 Posted February 13, 2016 Booked the flights as the price is creeping up so put 2 of down for this - just let us know if/when you need deposit
Gary Stirling Posted February 13, 2016 Author Posted February 13, 2016 Good stuff, only 47 more people needed!
Scot_Singh Posted February 13, 2016 Posted February 13, 2016 Potential interest from 3 of us who are also booked onto that return flight 0730 on the Sunday CDG-GGW

Grantyboy1983 Posted February 14, 2016 Posted February 14, 2016 Could be another 2 here interested, will post back here if we go ahead and book flights
Padre Andrew Posted February 15, 2016 Posted February 15, 2016 Stuff that. We're on the Transavia flight from Edinburgh on Friday. We need a bus about 5pm from Orly, returning Sunday afternoon.

We're happy to travel into Paris Gare De Nord and walk round to Gare L'Est for the quick train to Metz - should be no more than travelling by road and enough time to pick up a carry oot
ANFIELD'77 Posted February 15, 2016 Posted February 15, 2016 Gary, another 2 on these flights. Would be very interested in coach CDG - Metz - CDG. Keep us updated of any progress.
jackhayes17 Posted February 16, 2016 Posted February 16, 2016 5 of us on the flight going on the Saturday morning that would be interested in the bus one way to Metz
Gary Stirling Posted February 16, 2016 Author Posted February 16, 2016 In discussions with the coach companies to clarify the trip (one isn't quite understanding what I'm trying to arrange). Will keep you all posted but will need more numbers if this is going to materialize.

Keep us updated of any progress. I'm looking to see how much a minibus with driver would be if there's a few of us on this flight. Is everyone returning from Orly on the 18:25 flight to Edinburgh? Car hire's not too expensive, but the hotel we're going to has no parking, and I don't know if I want the hassle.
ANFIELD'77 Posted February 22, 2016 Posted February 22, 2016 Andy, we are returning from CDG to Glasgow on the Sunday morning red eye flight (07:30am).
Gary Stirling Posted February 23, 2016 Author Posted February 23, 2016 I'm going to look into a smaller coach/minibus as the numbers aren't looking good, I thought there would be more interest. I will let you know how I get on.
Gary Stirling Posted February 26, 2016 Author Posted February 26, 2016 Flights down to £90 return, 9am GLA - CDG on the 4th and returning 7.30am 5th. These are the flights I am enquiring about a coach/minibus for.
binobear Posted February 29, 2016 Posted February 29, 2016 Brilliant, already booked these flights - never seen flight prices drop as a game gets closer. Great price for those still to book.

Great price for those still to book. I know, I've been keeping my eyes on them for a while and no lie the price went up and down within a few hours on Friday afternoon around 5 times and have then stayed at £90 all weekend. I paid £128 I think a few weeks ago. Waiting on a few companies getting back to me with a quote for a minibus because the numbers are so low, I think it's the way to go.
