    Easyjet are fine, I'm flying out to Berlin with them. Just be on time for your flights, they do not suffer fools gladly and there is no assigned seating.

    Thanks for that last tip. I'm flying easyjet London-Amsterdam so good to know. :)

    How long before flights you have to be at the airport/check-in for these intra-Euro type flights?

    I think it entirely depends if you have checked luggage or not...if it's just hand luggage, you can get there later, but you'll probably have quite a bit of stuff with you coming from that far away. ;)

    Most of those low-cost airlines now offer online check-in as well, that saves you a bit of time & hassle as you can print your boarding pass at home and just got to baggage drop and then through security. Oh, also make sure you book your checked bags from home too, it's usually a lot more expensive at the airport.

    It's getting closer and closer... :D
    Thanks yep, I've checked with all my flights as I will definityely have luggage to check in, not just hand luggage & ok, bugger, I will plan on being there at least 2 hours before my fights. I will try & see about checking in online + if I can print boarding passes at hostels etc I guess.

    I'm totally checking in bags and making sure I have room for poster tubes in said bags. And I will be laughing at all you carry-on only people trying to stuff your bags into the tiny overhead bins, and maybe shooting an evil look or two for taking such a damn long time to get to your seats :mrgreen:

    In all seriousness, be sure to check the carry-on allowance for all your flights, I think different airlines have different requirements. You don't want to get caught with additional check-in luggage fees at the airport if you're flying the budget airlines.

    Hello peeps,
    How are we all? All organised and raring to go? (I'm not organised :lol: :fp: but I am raring to go!)

    2 months from today I arrive in Prague to start my mini PJ Euro Tour! And yes, I'M RARING TO GO!' Everything is booked, some money saved, tickets secured and now I just have to wait. The waiting drove me mad!

    Peace.
    What gigs are you doing? If you spy me in Berlin or Stockholm, be sure to come and say hello :)

    I'm doing Prague, both Berlin and Stockholm shows. The peeps in Prague have some pre/post party stuff planned, of which I intend to attend. But I haven't seen nor heard of anything for Berlin and Stockholm. Are there pre-parties/Wishlist stuff going on in those cities? If so, please do tell! And hell ya, if I spy you, you'll know it (if my memory serves)!

    Anyway, I'm so very wicked psyched and rarin' to go overseas to see PEARL JAM with my people!

    Peace.

    A question for the locals...

    How early does one need to be at the train station before departure? Looking at geting my train tickets from Brussels-Amsterdam-Brussels very soon. Curious as I don't really want to have to be up too early the morning after the 2nd Amsterdam show...I have a feeling I won't be all that interested in moving around before 10a after 2 nights of rocking out!

    Thanks!

    not alot..train in europe are accurate..so if your train leaves at 10 then 10-15 min before time,is ok..to find the platform etc..the central at Amsterdam is easy to move and find the platform....at Brussels more complcated..maybe you need a little more time there,depence with side of the station you will be entered in the station..

    One other question...

    Would it be best to by the tickets thru RailEurope, directly from Thalys, or NS Hispeed? Seems like best price is from NS, but all are pretty close.

    This time in 54 days, I should be settling into my seat for the trip over the pond (according to Delta.com)!

    I'm not excited or anything... :D

    I can't decide if I'm more excited to take our 1st trip to Europe (and see PJ both nights in Amsterdam!) or that I'm gonna be able to see PJ in Atlanta (and be able to sleep in my own bed afterwords) in September!
