After you've booked you own will you put up the details for the rest of us please?

Flying to East Midlands Sat evening with Ryanair (28th for €21) spending the night in a hostel in Derby (again, about €30). Flying out the following morning to Bergerac the following morning (about €35) and will get the train to Bordeaux which is a little over 1 hour away (€16). One night in Bordeaux (€32) and flying directly on Monday with Aer Lingus (€67).

Flights and accommodation work out at €200 approx. Anyone looking for cheap accommodation look up http://www.hostelworld.com

Hope that helps some of you get there :D

Only if you don't get stranded like we did with the ash cloud after the Toulouse semi - there is NOTHING there, especially when it snows like it did then :lol:

That's what I'm doing as well... Any cheap hotels in Bordeaux? Staying with the missus, so a cheap double room would be handy...

Also, the mail out this morning had the ticket prices. All quite reasonable as you would expect in France. What categories will people be picking? Would be good to get a massive group of us together for some LOUD NOISES. :D

Ticket prices are €20, €25, €30, €35, €50 and €60.
