Carcassonne Flight Chnage from Ryanair for the Agen Weekend
b*%&!cks. . .the games on saturday and now they have bought our flight forward to the Sunday - flight leaves at 1pm
Got this in an email from them. . .
Your new flight details are as follows:
GOING OUT
From Dublin(DUB) to Carcassonne(CCF)
Fri, 15/12/2006 Flight 1984 Depart DUB at 0930 and arrive CCF at 1240
COMING BACK
From Carcassonne(CCF) to Dublin(DUB)
Sun, 17/12/2006 Flight 1985 Depart CCF at 1300 and arrive DUB at 1415
Luckily the game is on Saturday, but may have to come back from Agen on the Saturday night (as trains could be dodgy on the Sunday morning).

The F**kers!
Obviously this is because there wasn't enough people on the flight going back Monday so they've shoved us in with the Sunday crowd.
Will cancel the three day special in the Ibis then. Bloody awkward to have to go to Toulouse after the game though.
I'll have a look at the train timetables to see what Sundays are generally like.

I did it anyway just to get an idea of how things operate.jamoTec wrote:got the same email........f**k now wat to do, dont think theres any point checking trains, as we cant book them until 2 months before departure date anyway.......
so they might change if you check them now.......
In any case the news wasn't good as there seem to be no trains going early on Sunday on the TGV website. May be some local trains but I don't know a website to check these.
I think we're looking at a train back to Toulouse after the match at either seven or eight. Then either a local train or a taxi to Carcassone early on Sunday morning.
Either way, a nice easy trip has just become a right pain in the b*%&!cks!
Thanks Ryanair, you evil f**ks!

Toulouse sounds like an option for the Saturday night. . we can then make a quick getaway to Carcassonne for our 1pm Sunday flight back.jamoTec wrote:yeah that was our plan, Sunday night in Carcassonne.....no flights home till the Wensday from Ryanair from Carcassonne, so aint stayin there for dat long....as its sh!t season, and nway dont think ill hav much holidays left by den......
anybody got any ideas what to do?
Theres a hotel opp the train station for ease, so we'd just get the train from Agen back to Toulose, run across the road to dump the bag then get to the Pub
Some lads stayed here last time - said it was fine. . .
http://www.ibishotel.com/ibis/fichehote ... otel.shtml
I just booked that Ibis hotel near the train station for the Saturday night, as SS says it will be handy to just dump the bags and go on the lash.
The only problem is that they have no twin rooms left for that night, so it's either book a room each or go Brokeback for the night.
It's €50 so I think I'll stick with a single then so.

Check this site out for all trains in France. However, as you said, you can't book more than 2 months in advance.

We're not going straight back to Carcassone after the game.jamoTec wrote:have you decided how your gettin back to Carconnsone after the game, you know you cant book d trains until 2 months before your booking date.......
We're gonna get the train to Toulouse on the Saturday immediately after the game.
Going Agen to Toulouse on the Saturday evening shoudn't be a problem.
We'll stay in the hotel near the station and go on the lash in Toulouse, (we know the lay of the land there from last year).
Then Sunday morning up early. Carcassone is less than an hours drive away. We'll check out a local train or bus. Failing that, we'll hire a taxi. I'm sure you could get a taxi to do the trip for about €100 which split between four would be about the same as the train.
It's not ideal, but I think it's about the best we'll do at this stage.
Crash, I looked at that site but Sunday mornings seem to be a major no-no when it comes to any trains.
sounds like a very good plan Donny Brooke......still myself wonderin wat 2 do, and not just me, waitin on my friends to get back to me of ideas.....
toulouse wuld b good criac.....wuld lik 2 go strainght bck to Carcosonne after match, so the journey to the airport wont b as long, and when d hungover is bad.....it can tak 4ever.....

It certainly would be handier for the next day alright.jamoTec wrote:sounds like a very good plan Donny Brooke......still myself wonderin wat 2 do, and not just me, waitin on my friends to get back to me of ideas.....

My concern would be that you're looking at a two hour train trip from Agen to Carcassonne, that's if you're lucky enough to get a direct train at that time.
That will eat into your Saturday night in a big way. Plus I'm not sure how late you'll get a drink in Carcassone, whereas at least in Toulouse, we know we can go pretty late!

Right booked into the IBIS directly across the road from the train station in Toulouse.
Agen must be busy on the Friday night. . tried to book a room in the IBIS (for the 1 night) before I cancelled my existing 3 night reservation. . . the place is booked out . . will call them to amend the booking to just the Friday night.
Focking Ryanair

He was looking for a TWIN (IBIS's normally have just a double bed in their rooms by default) you have to ask in advance if you want 2 seperate (single) beds in the room.jamoTec wrote:yeah booked the ibis opposite toulouse train station, thanks for that link SS.
Donny Brooke i dont know want you meant theres no double room, as I just booked by d web and got a double room??
Good idea about the transport - we can look at it closer to the time
Ok I looked at some train time tables, our flight goes at 1pm so say check in at 12noon.sheepshagger wrote:Right booked into the IBS directly across the road from the train station in Toulouse.

The only train that goes from Agen to Carcassonne is a 6:50am gets you to cacassonne at 8:33am in time for breakfast. early I know.
The bad news is if you stay in Toulouse you have to get on the same train an hour later at 7:50am and arrive in carcassonne at 8:33am in time for breakfast. at that rate you may as well stay in Agen. I got accomadation today in Agen.
It takes 1 hr 40mins to get from Agen to Cacassonne . And there is only one train that will get you to the airport in time. don't miss it !!!
yeah i just booked a room for 2 people, must ring them tonight if its seperate beds r not....thanks for that advice SS.
yeah closer to time and if we get alot of people to do it, defo check out renting a couch for the journey.
no offence BlueBlue but how did you look at the trains, yeah you can check the timetabel for this sunday or dat sunday, but not for the specific date we need it on.......
now im using

so im not sure if you are using the same......
