UK Open 2008?

****. have registered (6th:) ), and put myself up for Head 2 Head against Bruchem, Vandenburgh, Gouly and Charlie (so far). I'd best improve A LOT by November!
 
Martin Berger registered. Sounds like we will see a new world record for oldest solver.

Who can help me with the travelling in UK?
There are no cheap direct flights from Netherlands to Manchester.
So I have the following options:
- to fly via Dusseldorf (2 hours drive) for 60 euros
- to fly to another UK city and then take public transport
Please advise which UK airport(s) would be another good option. And how and how long travelling it takes from there.

Thanks,

Ron
 
You could try flights to Leeds? Yeah, I'm only saying Leeds because I live there :P Then a train to Manchester, which is a short train journey, maybe just a bit over an hour.

From AMS Schipol it is an hours flight, with jet2.com
 
Ron: Flying from Schiphol will always be expensive because of Dutch taxes. Try flying from Belgium or Germany instead.

And to everyone: I am sorry to say I will not go to the UK Open. With so many tournaments I have made a promise to myself to only go to foreign tournaments when they are at least 2 days. I already made an exception for Polish Open 2008 because I think Polish Open 2007 was the best tournament ever.
 
@Arnaud:
Eindhoven to London Stansted is 126.98 EUR all-in with Ryanair.
That is not extremely expensive.

@Charlie
Thanks for your invitation.
So you are in Hannover on Friday morning and travelling home to UK on Friday? Then take the train to Manchester?
 
ron, i will be flying friday afternoon from hannover direct to manchester (@13.25) staying somewhere (to be arranged!) friday and saturday night, then flying back to hannover on sunday at 13.00. flights cost 100 euros all together with flybe.

edit: sorry, i didn't make it clear that i will be living in hannover at this point :P
