Dortmund Away

[aka blue jambo]

If anyones on that flight can share an 8 seater for 160 euros to dusseldorf looks like a ball ache on public transport

Just started looking at trains etc after recovering from Copenhagen
It does seem a pain in the arse. Never seemed as complicated before.
Looks like the first train we can get is 11am

When I went to Dortmund away a few seasons ago I took the train from Schiphol, Amsterdam. Worth a look if Germany flights are pricey?

Flights have shot up to Amsterdam as the Dippers play Ajax on the Wednesday, that’s the route we are going by in EasyJet Monday - Wednesday, 1 night in Amsterdam, not sure if we’ll find anything to do there :-).

Catching the train into Dortmund on the day. Does anyone know if there'll be a decent away fans pub? Just wondering what time to get into town. Also are masks required anywhere in Germany now?

Wenkers bar in the City Centre, loads of Blues in there last time I went.

Flying in to Amsterdam … OK. But flying out of Amsterdam is VERY RISKY.

On a regular basis the security lines are running 3-4-5 hours ! With the lines running outside the terminal for over a mile !

It’s not an every day occurrence, but frequent enough to avoid the place at this time.

Cheers for that, we’re getting the train on Wednesday from Dortmund to Amsterdam, arrives at 4pm, was going to have three hours in the City then head to the airport for our 10 o’clock (ish) flight to Manchester. Will probably just go straight to the airport.

It’s a 15 min train ride from Amsterdam center to the airport. You could go straight to the airport and check out the situation.

Highly unlikely it would get worse from 4pm onwards, either its already bad and you should check in and join the line or the line is not long and you’re OK for quick trip back to the city for a couple of hours.

Don’t know how accurate this is; https://www.schiphol.nl/en/my-travel-day/today

It’s a cracking bar honestly, plenty of Blues will know it. :-)

On the day of the game we are heading to dortmund from Dusseldorf, I understand that trains have been included in the match ticket, is that still the case?

Coming back from Dortmund after the game, what is it like getting a train to Dusseldorf?
