I'm very keen on the whole plan and hope to attend as part of the UK team but those figures are much lower than I've found/would estimate
Flights - from London cheapest for that date is £161
Getting around - no idea on costs so 20 euro
Hostel - 68 euro
Food - arriving Friday evening, leaving sunday evening - 7 meals for 40 euro?
+ drinks, getting to London (as only 1 interested player so far is from London), parking if driving, bag on the plane
Hi Steve,
my mistake. There was a "Flexi date" button check by default . Without that the cheepsest flight is 145 € - and I haven't checked the times - so it will be around 160 pounds booking from Germany as well
Sorry about that - I did a sloppy job, looking the prices up.
Food -You get a breakfast below 10€ with 2 rolls and 2 coffees.
As I said a Pizza can be had for 10 to 12€ including a drink an Mac Donalds Maxi Menu is 8,5€ (just to give something comparable across nations). Coca cola 1.25l 90cent.
It alas depends on where you go, how often and what you buy - I take two meals a day, some three, some snack all day long. But there is leeway in my calculation use some of the 50 Pounds for food or beer
It's difficult to really nail a sum down, as peoples' habits are so different. But generally Berlin is much less expensive food-wise than the UK.
So my calculation seems to be off. That will be more likely 100 Pounds more.
160 pounds flight (seems ok, might go up with time)
60 pounds room (if you book late, this might go up)
60 pounds food (up from 30 something, seems plenty to me, taking breakfast and Pizza/Pasta in consideration. )
20 pounds getting around.
That's a neat 300 Pounds.
Plus whatever reserve you suggest
So probably something like 350 instead of 250€
Feel free to correct the numbers.
Sorry again for the messed up numbers.
-edit- spelling
