Right then I may as well be the first to get this ball rolling, anybody made any plans or bookings as of yet?
Obviously at the minuter, most of us just weighing our options up. Checked sky scanner and expedia etc, and all direct flights are pretty costly. I am pretty keen on flying with bmi from Manchester to Bordeux (spelling?) and then catching a train or national express type coach. Only about 140 miles from there on to Toulouse.
Also Ryanair fly to Carcessone and that is even closer at 61 miles, but not 100% sure of getting from here to Toulouse.
Anybody know what they are doing yet?

PS Perhaps it wouldn't be a bad idea if this thread was a sticky for a little while?

I've not found any flights to elsewhere in France that are any cheaper than the direct BMI Baby ones to Toulouse?

Matt, have gander at Ryanair from John Lennon to Carcassone. If you include a train or bus ride from there into Toulouse then yer right it may work out cheaper. Big pain the rear end this trip, should imagine it will be worth it though eventually.
This flight from Manchester mate?

Still weighing it up at the moment. I've had a look at the BMI flights and they seem fairly reasonable.

Was wondering if there might be any kind of an organised package deal?

Probably won't book for a while yet until I know what's happening... if it's on the tv then everyone will be screwed that book the flights for the friday.

I have heard somebody say the club may charter a plane but tbh I'd rather not wait around for that. Want to try and get it sorted our between now and the end of Janruary. I can't imagine the club announcing anything until the season starts. Think I may now have a gander at these BMI flights.

Beware the fireman strikes at the airport!!

When we went for the Cup game a few years ago we were welcomed to all flights cancelled on the way home. Thus a 6 hour delay and bus journey to Bordeaux for flight home.

We flew from Gatwick direct to Toulose with easyjet. Had 5 of us in the car so shared petrol and the thoughts were it's easier for us to travel in England where we speak the lingo than trying to travel across Southern France.

Not decided on whether we'll be going this year, all depends on finances and whether I can stay gainfully employed!

Has any one considered a flight to Paris then TGV to Toulouse? I thought about it though haven't priced it.

When the Dons went a few years ago we had a great time flew from Birmingham .

Considered it, but waiting a) for the price of an official trip and b) for someone else to price it up

Ive booked my flights already, i fly from liverpool to Paris Charlles de gaule on thursday im doing a few days in paris, then flying from paris Ory to toulouse (flight from ory to toulouse is only 1hr) its 6hrs on the train
In total my flight was 170 quid (easy jet)

Havent booked a hotel yet that can be done at a later stage

Not booked yet as im still thinking it may change which would leave you in the poop if booked. I will look at sorting flights in the new year as the fundage has all gone on christmas and the new kit.

I wont go as too much money for a game.
