For anybody planning on going to Haye vs Wlad

  1. There are some really good flight prices to Dusseldorf-Weeze.

    But just be careful because Weeze airport has nothing to do with Dusseldorf !! It is the usual Ryanair trick of naming the airport Barcelona, Milan etc.... and in reality it is nowhere near the cities.

    It looks like it is about 40 miles away from Dusseldorf and Gelshenkirken(where the fight is) so the trains/ taxis could cost a bomb

  2. There is a Central Dusseldorf airport.... but it may be alot more expensive.

    Just be careful in your planning of where you stay and the amount of money you take etc...

    I'm thinking of going. I'll take the lady and if the fight falls through just make it a 4 day holiday or something.
     

  4. Like I said this Dusseldorf-Weeze airport is nowhere near Dussledorf, so be careful where you book your hotel

    I often go with budget airlines and then take a cab in. Depends on saving, distance from airport to hotel etc I'll look into it. Just remembered it is in a stadium. Not really up for that. Boxing can't handle more than 10k audiences. More than that and it begins to get real ****. Even 10k only works if it is somewhere like the O2 which is catered for it. Boxing shows need to have more screens etc I think a WWE set up would work!
