      Been watching them for weeks... started at $960-ish... climbed quickly into the $1200's and have crept up a bit more from there.

      Pulled the trigger figuring if they fare does drop late, then I can pay a fee to change and net some savings. Main cabin was about 70% full with most of the "extra charge" (6" more legroom) seats still empty.

      Working on London accommodations now... will likely go B&B's...

            Our flights are into/ out of Heathrow. Just booked a King room for final nite's stay at the Hyatt Heathrow for $66+change all-in, except breakfast, using Hotels.com.

            Not convenient to London proper, but is not far from Tottenham Stadium.

                FYI to my fellow travelers...

                There's a London BrownsBackers group, The British Bulldawgs.

                https://www.facebook.com/groups/britishbulldawgsbrownsbackers/

                Some discussion about the Browns organizing gatherings during the weekend in the page's FAQ drop, but nothing firm as yet.

                    Nice...

                    No such luck out of DFW so far, but still time and if makes sense to pay a penalty to change, then I'm on it...

                      Any details on how many of us are actually going?

                      I see 4 with Tour and +1 and myself with a +1. Although my +1 is not a spousal unit 😁

                              Thanks, Gip, but I'll be staying 3 nites total on London, two before the game and last nite overseas.

                              Still looking for the former, but for the latter I've a Hotel close to Heathrow for $66, or so, all in...

                              Just seems like a long way to go...and a major expense to go for just 3 nights. Did you get a good airfare price?

                                I did not say my plans are for a three-day trip... 😉

                                Will be "Chunneling" to Paris Monday after the game... just book-ending in London.

                                ... and no... the airfare sucks...

                                      to do so but worth keeping an eye on our Facebook page as well.
