Haye v Klitschko: Flights and Hotel thread

[Monte Fisto]

My mates decided to come late notice. Whats the cheapest way for him to get there? He seems to think Amsterdam and then train. He is travelling from York so Amsterdam is very doable from Leeds-Bradford, Manchester or even Hull or Newcastle on the ferry.

im not so sure thats why he is going via amsterdam ;;-)

Fight tickets arrived yesterday.

Yes, you can buy a ticket for 29 Euros which gives up to 5 people unlimited travel within that German state all day. Great value.

Yes, either from one of the ticket machines or over the counter.

[mickey1975]

How far is it from the airport to Hamburg Central? Any idea on prices,times etc, i presume there train service is better than ours.

[Crazyboy]

We are on the 8:10am flight to hannover from gatwick on the Saturday morning, then train from hannover to Hamburg, straight to digs to drop bags off, straight out on it.

Hope there will be a thread about this nearer the time but would be good to meet up with a few fellow Boxrec posters.

We'll be going to the 'usual places' in Hamburg, before and after the fight,

Cannot wait for this!!

Be aware, however, that those tickets are only valid on regional trains (RE/RB or ME/MER) and not on the express trains (ICE, IC,EC). It still only takes about 1hr10-1hr30mins on the regional trains though
