ACL Travel Thread, Flights, Tour Packages and Game Day Meeting Points

I’ve been to quite a few games, the ticketing is different for each country and sometimes for different clubs in the same country. That’s why the tours are good, removes all the angst. I know of someone who went to Shanghai but couldn’t work out the tickets as you needed a Chinese number and address. We used our Chinese tour guide to download the tickets otherwise you had no chance.

Pro tip if going as cheap as you can.
Go with no checked in luggage on Scoot or the like.
Buy clothes there cheaper.
Few of the Vietnamese at my work do that
Then donate them before you leave.
3 or day trip what do you really need?

I'm all booked for the Kawasaki game

We are too (myself and my son). Heading to Japan for 2 weeks finishing Tokyo for the Kawasaki Frontale game. Can’t wait for our biggest away day!

Is anybody risking China Eastern? Or have experience with a Shanghai stopover?

I have read some feedback online and am now concerned..

Most of the Asian budget airlines are pretty ordinary - having just flown Angkor air ,they were ok and Eastern rate higher than them.
Vietjet on the other hand are absolutely awful.

Bear in mind that no one who has a good flight will jump online and leave a review

Remember to always sit at the back of the plane.

Why?

Ever heard of one reversing into a mountain?

I’ll get my coat.

Also, never fly on any airline whose response at check in when you ask if they have anything in smoking say;

“what other than the engine?”

Yeah, but a plane’s filtration system works from front to back so you get everyone’s farts sitting at the back
