Re: Moscow away

Where have you sorted your visa at that price, and what hotel you booked?

fuck me, gone up a tenner already! worse than easyjet

Haven't booked anything yet but fancy going. What days are your flights squirty?

Going out on the Wednesday coming back late Thursday

Although someone on here reckons five and a half hours won't be enough to get to the game from the airport

Re: CSKA Moscow v City (Wednesday 23 October)

if there are many people coming in by that Easyjet plane on Wednesday, they can team up and hire a van to get them to the stadium from airport, a 20-seater would cost around 60 quid. it'd be cheaper than going by public transport (you would need to use train, tube and bus).

no way. they may get around 5 mil for him now, but after selling him their chances of making the playoffs (which would pay off much better) dwindle. they are better off keeping him.

Won't be loads of tickets available for this either, about 900-950 as it's being played at Arena Khimki according to UEFA web-site (capacity 18K)

With regard to Visa's, <a class="postlink" href="http://ru.vfsglobal.co.uk/" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;">http://ru.vfsglobal.co.uk/</a> is the official site as recommended by the Russian Embassy.

Their charges are £50 + £27.60 Admin fee + £7.40 for secure return postage.

There appears to be quite a few other sites offering the same service for a considerably higher charge.

Which airport are you flying into? And are you planning on walking to the stadium?

Thought this move had already been agreed months ago. Surprised Milan let Boateng leave. Room for Kaka?

Karaganda, I thought.

Should take 45 mins into Moscow and 1 and a half to stadium I think? Time to check in probably, depending on hotel location.

A bit random; but they don't say "C" "S" "K" "A", they call themselves "siska".

Yes they do.

a friendly advice: please don't you try to call them thus if you make it to the Moscow game.

Re: Moscow away

Don't forget to add £100+ for your Russian VISA to your air fare and accommodation. Reckon it can't be done for less than £600 without slumming it!!!

Can get a rtn flight Sunday 20th until Sun 27th with Easyjet from Manchester for £79.00 at the mo. Hostels £15 - £30 a night depending on room size and quality ( a lot look like the one we met you in , in Kiev) visa £77. Week off work and plenty of time to take in Moscow and drink Vodka!!!

But he managed to return in time for the 17:00 GMT start of the CSKA league match? :)

Re: CSKA Moscow v City (Wednesday 23 October)

I tip my hat to any of my fellow Blues going to this one. I'd love to do it, quite fancy giving Russia a visit, but with all the visa stuff and a lack of flight options, it's not feasible for me.

I'm being a wimp and going for the easy option- Munich.

Will keep an eye on this thread though as I'm genuinely interested in how people make it there etc.

Re: CSKA Moscow v City (Wednesday 23 October)

For those who have time, St. Petersburg is worth visit, winter palace, summer palace, lot of museums, ballet and opera, nice view of city, gardens, cannel and bridges, no traffic jam, romantic places for lover and if you don't have yet just find one on the trip LOL.

Just discussed with missus, We definitely go. She will ask Etihad friends for staff ticket. Moscow is boring city for me but no need visa, free accom with in-law, cheap air ticket, chance to watch City play, how can I resist.
See you guy there.
