I am thinking that I will go to LHR either on the EWR day flight on Friday or overnight, then take BD to BRU. MAN and BHX would be good, as well, but involve Avros to BRU. Decisions, decisions.

Is anyone else taking the Thalys in from Paris on 1/16? I'm trying to decide which train I will take.

More info from the Europe forum that might be useful.

Add one to my possible going. Talked with my Aunt that lived in AMS for many years. She may join for drinking but also go to see the old hunts. We will see as I have to check at work.

Let me know which one you decide on, I'll grab the same one. Not sure how much time I'll spend in CDG.

Yeah, I am lazy, but what is the current count? BRU is a cheap weekend ticket from either ZRH or CPH, so I might have interest...

I'm leaning towards a 3:30 or 4:30 departure. I figured that would give 6-8 hours or so in Paris. I'll email you the details when I finally get around to deciding. :)

I think we're up to 6 or 7 confirmed right now - it's in post #3. There are a few others that seem to be looking at tickets.

3 weeks from today... :D

I'm getting ready to pull the trigger on tickets - just trying to decide what city I want to go to after BRU.

Likewise. cova + 1 still planning. Please add the +1.
4 nights booked at Brussels Marriott.

Current fares rules, book by 12/31, 7 day advance purchase.

But flights from EWR-DCA are booking up (inauguration). So for 2 may need to route through CLE to DCA. But this might be better way to get out of EWR anyway. Planning sights in addition to pubs.

Cheaper to fly DCA-LHR, then buy ticket from LHR-BRU, but likely not worth the hassle.

Hartmann Dec 27, 2008 3:12 pm

Plane tickets booked.

Itinerary is as follows:

1/15 - IAH-EWR - CO152
1/15 - EWR-CDG - CO56

1/19 - BRU-EWR - CO61
1/19 - EWR-CLE - CO325
1/19 - CLE-IAH - CO1645

Will be booking Thalys ticket this evening.
