Subscriber blueandgoldfan 6 Posted October 16, 2019 Subscriber Share Posted October 16, 2019 Where is everybody meeting before the Fri/Sat shows? There is an Irish pub called Porterhouse that is about a 25 minute walk to stadium, not sure if anything is closer. Thoughts? Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Subscriber fluffy cat 2 Posted October 20, 2019 Subscriber Share Posted October 20, 2019 @blueandgoldfan are you flying out from Texas? I'm doing Brisbane, Melbourne, Adelaide and Sydney and I'm flying out from LHR via IAH but my friend in Katy can't find a reasonable flight to join me.... It sucks as my flight from London is $850 or so return and she can't get on the same plane but start / end in Houston for under $3k! Richard Quote Link to post Share on other sites

IAH is my first connection through, and wasn’t terribly expensive through them. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Richard There are some reasonable flights out there, just keep searching Orbitz, Priceline, etc. By accident I discovered that Qantas has like a payment plan option where you get charged per month. I had never seen this before, so I dont know how common a practice this is. I went ahead and did the payment plan. Itll cost me about $150 more in the long run, but just for me it was better than dropping $1500-$1700 right now. Good luck. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Thanks, I've checked on her behalf, IAH is *my* first connection and she can't get a seat on the same planes as me for the IAH - sydney part for less than 3x what I've paid to fly from London -> IAH ->Sydney! I'm on the 8:25pm out of IAH on the 9th Nov if anyone else is doing a mini tour 😄 Richard Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Makes no sense! I know there are fees and taxes depending on final destination, but half as much to fly for twice as long? And I get a day stopover in Houston. Do they just make prices up? 😞 Richard Quote Link to post Share on other sites
