Has anyone else made any plans for this (if you are coming home after Toulouse, like me)?
I've pre-empted that we will qualify through the group and booked flights between Bristol and Paris with BMI Regional. Flying out on 24th and returning on 28th. This covers all possible outcomes.
I've booked my hotels and trains to and from all the various cities, too.
Will be a complete waste if we flop in the group stage, but should be genius if/when we qualify, when last minute flights/trains are required and have sky rocketed!! My flights have already increased by over £20 since booking them a fortnight ago or so.

Not really made my mind up what I'm doing yet except that I'm NOT coming home until we are out of the competition. Need to book some hotels with free cancellations but not yet got round to it. As for trains / air fares does anyone know of any free cancellation options please? |

I've got 2 runner up B v runner up F tickets for Nice. Got a hotel sorted but no flights yet. Great if we end up 2nd but can't see that happening to be honest. If we end up 3rd I'll probably sell those and go to wherever Wales are. 4th and I'll still go to Nice for a long weekend to drown my sorrows.

I'm flying back from Toulouse but I've got hotel options in Paris, Cannes and Lille for the last 16. All can be cancelled depending on where we end up. Will look at flight / eurostar options as I walk out of the stadium after a win against Russia.

Got to come home straight after Toulouse then work out options. Supposedly working till 0300 on the Saturday so hoping for us to be playing on Sunday in Lille (driveable) or Nice on the Monday - flight and hire a car probably...then back to work and find a way to get out to the 1/4 final. Big brother is staying on in Toulouse so he can sort my accommodation!

Big brother is staying on in Toulouse so he can sort my accommodation! Flights back from Nice on the Tuesday have been creeping up steadily in price since I started looking. Hate to think what they'll cost by the time we know whether we'll need them or not! Sort of hoping for a trip to Lille (like you, by car), even if it does mean probably facing Germany! |

Flying back to Liverpool from Toulouse on the 21st, work for 3 days then got a flight back out to Paris from Liverpool on the Saturday. Flight back out only cost me £50 so happy to take the risk.

Ive got a flight out to Nice from Bristol really cheap on the Monday afternoon, so at least if we do end up down south I'll only have to pay the flight back. Any other option seems driveable, so will just lose the flight!

would recommend to everyone to get this Ryan Air throw-away ticket for only €14 !!
RYANAIR: Wednesday, 29 June Marseille to Brussels (Charleroi) 14.35 - 16:20
Good chance of us playing our R16 in Nice on 27 June and then need to get up to Lille/Paris for 1 July for our Quarter Final.
Brussels Charleroi airport to Lille on Flibco Bus is only €5!
Nice and Marseille are a painfully slow train ride up North - so the above is a great option!

Hotels booked for all matches through to the final (with free cancellation - I'm not that much of an optimist).
No travel plans yet though, as time off work will have to be minimal.

I'm in the same situation. Travel is the killer though. Prices going up daily. Megabus from various cities around UK connect to Victoria Coach Station in London. From there, they connect to France. All extremely cheap, if a little tedious. Download a few films, take some food and drink and get there on the cheap. Once in Paris area you can fly to Nice for around £45 or even take the www.Oiubus.com option |

... And there is always Ryan Air from Liverpool / Manchester area to Brussels Charleroi - which puts you €5 bus ride away from Lille / Paris / Lens (for three of the four options).
The Nice R16 is perhaps best served by Ryan Air to Marseilles
All these, throw-away tickets for less than €20!!

Also got Lille to Paris £5.50 |

Hoping we finish second as I fancy this little trip.
Stansted to Marseille - £23.99 with Ryanair.
Free cancellation on hotel in Cannes booked.
Nice to Paris (TGV) - 31 Euros leaving straight after the game.
Paris to London - 9 euros with Ouibus.
It'll be like a remake of Planes, Trains and Automobiles!!
