If we had qualified for France 2016, I would be over for as long as were in the tournament but now mid 30s and 2 young kids complicates things. I’ve got a ticket for the Hungary game. Just trying to keep travel and accommodation as cheap as possible. I don’t want to miss out on experiencing this. Yes, mate. Having completely changed my plans when the draw was made me and the boy are going over for the last group game only. Birmingham to Stuttgart via Frankfurt. 21st-24th. Train from Frankfurt airport to Stuttgart Central included in the flight ticket from Lufthansa. Staying in a place called Renningen for the 3 nights, 20 mins direct train to Stuttgart. Just over £500, hand luggage only. Will obviously drive to Birmingham from Greenock. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aidan Posted December 29, 2023 Share Posted December 29, 2023 Flying Manchester to Frankfurt early doors on the 19th then it’ll be a train to Bonn from there and plenty of time to get to Cologne for the Switzerland game. Might try and make plans to be in Stuttgart for the Hungary game but I’m flying back on the 24th so it might not be worth it. Didn’t get any tickets so I’ll probably just spend my days in fan zones if they’re easy enough to get tickets for. Heading across on my own too so thankfully I can just do what I want and float around wherever for a few days. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DG.Roma Posted December 30, 2023 Share Posted December 30, 2023 On 12/12/2023 at 16:35, alonso said: Flying into Dusseldorf the day before the Swiss game and back the day after, was planning booking 2 nights (Tuesday and wed night) accommodation in Dusseldorf but any idea how easy it will be to get back to Dusseldorf after the game finishes given how late it will be when the match finishes? And any thoughts on an area in Dusseldorf to stay relatively handy for the train journeys and airport? Sorry I know this was posted a while ago but that's similar to what I'm doing. Staying near Dusseldorf Airport. Trains should be easy between the two cities, and it looks like some go straight through to the airport from Cologne, so I banked on that and a short journey to the airport with a hangover, rather than anything complicated the morning after the big night! 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
welshbairn Posted January 2 Share Posted January 2 The FAQs on the discounted InterRail pass aren't clear, so I emailed InterRail as instructed by Uefa. InterRail don't understand them either! Quote Hi If I buy a 10 day flexi pass will I be able to use it on any days I like within the period June 9th to July 21st, like a normal InterRail pass, or only to and from matches that I have a ticket for?

beesher Posted January 5 Share Posted January 5 I've seen some flights that involve a 2-hour window to 'self transfer' (i.e. get through passport control, check back in and back through security). Is 2 hours enough to do all that if I'm not checking in / collecting any baggage? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think Club 100 Tartan Army Motherwell are doing one to Munich. - i remember seeing it advertised on one of the Tartan Army facebook groups not long after the draw. I looked at organising one for the Dunfermline TA end of last summer, but it was looking around 10/11k for an out and back for one match, plus hotels and expenses for the driver(s), but a lot of folk were intending staying out for a few games, so couldnt make it work. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GhostZapper Posted January 5 Share Posted January 5 For those looking at trains, the super saver tickets came on over the Christmas period. some of the ICE trains were bookable for 10-15 euros. Just mind add a 5 euro seat reservation on. Alternatively, if you travel in a group of 5+ you get a free group seating reservation. Managed to get all our trains booked out and back for the 3 matches from our base in Frankfurt for under 150£ per person. If you have a match ticket, you'll be able to book the 30/40 euro one way special fares when they open up late Jan. You need a match ticket to do this though, as this will act in place of a rail card, and theres specific timings when you have to use them. IE match day and early hours of the next morning. Your journey needs to be completed by 10am the morning after the match. Travelling to the matches of the European Football Championship 2024 with the DB Ticket Euro 2024 (bahn.de) Remember as well, if you have a match ticket, on the day local transport is included with that. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You probably won't need to but you can reserve seats independently from buying tickets on the DB site. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
