London Calling ...

The "base airfare" one does... by definition.

Reading comprehension... you really should try it.

One out of 5 packages includes it. All the others do not. I know what I read. And that one was over 4K per person.

Are you going? Taking the spouse...or hooking up with other BB members?

The Gipper

Still can hook anyone up with London condos:

2BR starting 11/28 for about $1600.00 Occupancy: 6 people

1BR starting 11/28 for about $1350.00-1450.00 Occupancy: 4

Studio starting 11/28 for about $1350.00 Occupancy: 3

Or...Kent/Canterbury (55 miles from London)

2BR starting 11/28 for about $750.00 Occupancy: 6.

The Gipper

You can probably also go on to AirBnB and find all kinds of "flats" and studios for varying prices per night. Much much cheaper than the Browns rate.

The Gipper

If anyone wanted to make this a longer trip to the UK, I can hook you up with a post game week starting Nov. 4th with 2BR condos in Inverness Scotland for about $600.00 for a week. Or a 2BR in Aberfoyle Scotland for about $550.00 a week.

Or, a pregame week in Wales for about $820.00 2BR, 10/21 to 10/28.

Prefer the Continent. I have Paris weeks ranging from like $800.00 a week to as much as 2K.

French Riviera? Weeks for as low an about $400.00 up to $900. for a 1BR or studio. In Cannes.

French Alps? A week for as little as just over $400.00. 1BR.

Ireland? County Galway THREE Bedroom for under $700.00 for the week. County Clare: 2BR for just over $400.00

Southern Spain? various 1BR/studios 2BR from @$450-1000.00

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...

Yes, Sir... she'll be the one in the JJ Watt jersey...

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.

I plan to purchase airline tickets tomorrow. They have actually dropped a bit.

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...

kvozel

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

Already get email from them Tour. Now if I could just get Bike Nashbar to stop sending me "hot deal of the day" junk, I'd be really happy.

These are still available..if a group of you or any of you want to stay a full week.

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...

I get very little from clevelandbrowns.com... mostly notices of Live pressers... and all is caught in spam folder.

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?

Tour2ma

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...
