I currently intend to book:

  For Joachim Breitner, Philip Hands, and myself:
Sunday 31st July
Zagreb - Munich 
dep 2115, arr 0615 Monday
One 3-person sleeper berth

I will do this tonight, when bookings open.


Phil, are you returning via London ?  What do you think of the
itinerary here:

   http://lists.debian.org/debian-devel/2011/03/msg00769.html

If you like I can book tickets on those trains for you too.  I intend
to go first class on ICE and Thalys if the prices are reasonable, but
standard class on Eurostar, but I could be persuaded to go standard.

Bookings for the ICE and Thalys open tomorrow night so please let me
know ASAP.

Oh, yes: via Zagreb because the replies from locals regarding road
transport to Okucani have not been particularly encouraging or
definite, whereas I'm sure there is indeed a train from BL to Zagreb.

Not at the moment. I've sent a mail to everyone in BL i know asking,
but didn't get any answer. Since i had a lot on my mind, i forgot to
ping them again. I'll find out more today/tomorrow.

Sorry for the wait!

Re: [Debconf-discuss] Is arriving Friday 22nd ok?

2011-04-30 Thread Velimir Iveljic
I think we could get you a room on 22nd, but i am not sure how much
you would have to pay for it.
You can check the regular prices here:
http://www.hotelbosna.com/hotele.html and in the mean time i will
check to see if we can arrange something better (but it is not a
promise!).

I'll get back to you with more details.

Yes, my destination on the return is London.

BTW are you aware that there are discount tickets to/from Germany via
Brussels and the EuroStar?

Checking the preceding Monday (since sales are not yet open for the one
we actually want) there's a Munich-->London route:

München Hbf Mo, 25.07.11dep 10:50   22  ICE 720 
Intercity-Express
Frankfurt(Main)Hbf  Mo, 25.07.11arr 14:04
 Transfer time 12 min.  Adjust the transfer time
Frankfurt(Main)Hbf  Mo, 25.07.11dep 14:16   ICE 14  
Intercity-Express
Bruxelles-Midi  Mo, 25.07.11arr 17:35
 transfer 45 min.   Adjust the transfer time
Bruxelles-Midi EST  Mo, 25.07.11dep 18:50   EST 9157
EUROSTAR
Subject to compulsory reservation, Special ticket or supplement required, 
Please observe check-in times, Non-smoker train, Bistro Cafe
London St. Pancras InternationalMo, 25.07.11arr 20:03

The quoted discount fair for that is 69 EUR

I'm not that bothered about 1st/2nd class, but will happily go 1st if
the price hike is not too much.

Cheers, Phil.

Eur69 each according to Seat 61 but I'm on the phone now and will let
you know in a bit, hopefully.

...

Well, the DB call centre has only two people on at this time of night
(2am in the morning German time) and one of them is on break.  The
operator asked me to phone back in an hour but I will try tomorrow
morning.

I saw those in the timetable but you'll see that the arrival time in
London (20:03) is three hours later than my plan (17:03), almost
entirely because of the late start from Munich (10:50, vs. 07:27).

I would prefer to take the earlier trains.

"fare".  HTH :-).  

My plan will be rather more expensive.  Feel free to book that if you
prefer.

I mean, feel free to book for yourself the later cheaper itinerary you
suggested.  I should go to sleep now :-).
