What is the situation for the lads using Lufthansa- seems a bit up in the air( sorry for the pun)

Apparently the flight I'm supposed to be on is cancelled, dont know what I'm going to do now.

Go to the airport early. If they have cancelled, they will re-route you to Bucharest. Happened to me loads of times.

Yer, just packed me shorts and sombrero.

Getting picked up from the boozer at 3.30am for a 6a.m flight from Manc land, really looking forward to a few days on the ale and a few cheeky wanks off an 18 year old Romanian brass.

Seems no metro is running anywhere near the stadium. I guess it will be a taxi/bus but at that time? Anyone any advice/pointers? Where will be best to head after the game (my hotel is about 5 miles from the stadium) smack in the city centre

Does anyone want to car share with my mate to Luton on the Wed? Can meet on the M6.

zoom to the south west area and you should get an idea of the stadium location

http://www.fsf.org.uk/ground-guide/international-clubs/unirea-urziceni/

Getting to the Ground (By Public Transport)
The ground is served by 3 tram routes - numbers 11, 41 and 47. Tickets are cheap (€0.35) and the trams are frequent. They'll be packed in build up to kick off, however. Trolleybuses 69 and 71 pass nearby to the north of the stadium, too.

Chris_Romania · « **Reply #140 on:** February 22, 2010, 10:35:20 pm »

You shouldn't bother with trams and trolleys when cabs from downtown to the stadium shouldn't be more than 3 GBP.

Anyways... who's coming to Bucharest from tomorrow (Tuesday)? Anybody up for a meeting later in the evening, for some pints?

Yeah just seen that, says they dont know when flights will return to normal. Just checked the Lufthansa website and it still says cancelled. Suppose I'm just gonna have to wait and see.

Cheers for that, a trolley sounds an experience. Haha.

@ Chris, will these be running late after the game? Or will taxi's hang around to take reds to the city? There will be a few hundred of us of course.

Trams, trolleys and buses run until 11-11.30 PM. The game is early so it's a safe bet they'll be running after it's all done.

Is anyone going with Wizz Air?

You cannot check in on-line, but i have found Additional Passenger Information on change booking page, where you can enter passports numbers, etc etc

Not sure if i should fill this in or not? Doesnt say in the confirmation email i got from them. Not phoning them, it costs me £15 everytime i do :-(

Nicoliverpool · « **Reply #150 on:** February 23, 2010, 10:18:33 am »

I'm sure "Raptor" who sorted our flights out said he'd checked us in online?

scouser4eva · « **Reply #151 on:** February 23, 2010, 10:21:16 am »

Im on Whizz Air and didnt check in online, you flying from Milan ? think we just have to Cue up at the airport.

I think you won't even get seats, whoever walks in the plane first can sit wherever they want

Really classy, these wizzair fellows.

My mate has given me what looks like a 10,000 lei note, left over from when Everton played Steaua a few years ago. I assume its old currency, as its not worth £2k.

I wonder if our romanian friends can tell me if it can be used and, if so, what's the value in £'s?

Haha, no, you cannot use it anymore

I guess banks can still change old bills for new ones, but 10.000 old lei is like 20 cents

The weather is fine at the moment. 10 degrees, partly cloudy. It's actually really pleasant. But rain is predicted for Thursday.

Ta.

Just reading some of the nightlife guides and some people have left messages saying certain clubs are hard to get into. Are trainers allowed in all nightclubs or is it worth bringing a pair of shoes?

Chris_Romania · « **Reply #159 on:** February 23, 2010, 11:53:23 am »

I don't go to nightclubs, I am more of a rock bar / pub kinda guy, so I have no idea what's the dress code for the fancier places. I doubt you'll end up in one of the uptight places anyway, so you should be ok.
