mcfcUAE Trip to Hamburg

For those that are interested, a few of us are going over to Hamburg for the UEFA Cup game on April 9th. We're booked on Flight EK059 leaving Dubai at 9am on Wednesday April 8th. The return flight is EK060 arriving back in Dubai at 11.40pm on Saturday April 11th. The cost is Dh2,590 or Dh1,499 + 7,000 miles.

There are plenty of hotels still available and you're looking at paying in the region of Dh1,000-1,200 for the whole three nights, although there are cheaper options available. See http://www.eurobookings.com/ for more details. We're staying at the Lindner Hotel Am Michel in the city's St. Pauli district (http://search.eurobookings.com/hotel/de/lindner-am-michel.html?sid=5acaf34be75e84e383d21c386a3636b9;checkin=2009-04-08;checkout=2009-04-11#topanchor).

Match tickets are going to be difficult to come by. No chance of getting any in the City end, so we're going to try to get tickets with the Hamburg fans. Failing that, we'll just watch it in a bar in town.
