Going to use this evening and the extended DT to look at cost options and pay for flights and stuff (I want more days than the packages look like offering). -------

From what I remember it was 450 isk per beer at the event, which converts atm to $ 5.59 or ú 2.86, according to Yahoo Currency.
Though it was more expensive away from the event.

Costs for singles - in hotels arent too bad really. I looked at a package that was only ú100 more expensive for me having a twin room to myself than it was for me sharing (That was the hotel cabin).
The dates are 6 - 8 (So looking at last years timetable: 5th Early registration. 6 - 8 actual events and on the 8th the last night event/party thing). -------

The Package was No good for me I want to stay a little bit either side, IcelandAir's co.uk site does allow you to book hotels and the prices are quite reasonable some of the hotels were quite a bit cheaper from Icelandair than they were from other sites for the same dates and rooms.

Excellent, I see we are one step closer to getting this whole Fanfest thing going, all we need now is to be able to buy the passes. So, how about it guys, don't you want my monies?
I have my flight and hotel booked, just want to make it all 100% official and good.
On a slight side-note, is anyone sending someone away on the Sisters of Eve thing? My father (shocking, a 21 year old being escorted around by his father) is coming out with me and we are staying the week, but I was wondering about sending him away on the sisters of Eve thing, as he is neither female, nor my spouse, but I have assumed that those are just minor technicalities.

With no flights from Manchester, and the cheapest package for me and a mate to go flying from London being ú350 each then add ú50 each travel to London, and then the price of the actual Fanfest, then beer and food... It's looking less and less likely to be honest.
It looks like the total trip would cost us about ú1000 each, and for ú1500 a piece we can go to Las Vegas for a week in the Summer, and that includes ú500 table money!
Please please please please look in to some Manchester deals! And slapping Icelandair with a wet fish until they drop their prices! Hell, I went to Ireland three years ago for ú15 return, Oslo two years back for ú25 return, and one of my mates just got back from Paris, which cost him ú200 for the entire trip, and a ú300 engagement ring!
Meh!

Meh!
IcelandAir only fly from Manchester on Mondays and Fridays, and I cant see their hotel partners wanting to do packages for a week, or us from the Manchester/NW area wanting to miss day 1 by flying on a Friday.
On the other hand, while sorting my Iceland adventure this autumn, I used Expedia (probably cheaper sites out there) and the lowest price I got (for Tuesday thru Monday) was ú441pp in a Twin Room in the Hotel Cabin which isnt too bad. (Flight to London on the Tuesday and then transfer to an Iceland flight that day too, and a direct flight back to Manchester on the Monday). So probably cheaper if you fly on the Wednesday, and you wont miss any of FF either.
However, with Icelands costs being higher than well anywhere really, I'm finding that adding in my entertainments budget per person does take it to near the ú1000 figure you worked out. Grrrrrrr Iceland being on the expensive side.
(This isnt a dig by the way, just presenting an alternate to your research, which comes in cheaper for a longer period than the packages offer.) -------

If you mean Loftladir and Nordica theres a bit of a difference... Nordica is a walk away from the location while a buss or taxi is most likley required from Loftledir... And Nordica is a Hilton aswell, so it gives slighly higher bragging rights when you get home...

Aye, its a nice hotel aswell... Stayed there the past two Fan Fests now and they'll need to get much worse for me to stay somewhere else... I just need to get a Hilton Honours card for this year so I can stand in the "special" line...
Oh, one more thing... Downton is about 30 minutes walk from Nordica if I remember correctly... Not that bad but there is a shuttle that can take you there if you dont like walking...
A third thing, Cassy is spelt with a Y and not an I... An I makes it sound... French...

Its quite nice... Eggs, bacon, saussages, melons, cod liver oil, the usual stuff for a decently fance Hotel... Its very nice actually...
On Sundays, if I remember correctly, they have a special lunchbuffe that's filled with allot of strange things and is usually crowded with locals and babystrollers... But its an interesting experience if you arnt leaving or are too drunk on Sunday...

Right so heres a odd question, when is ccp going to let those who dont need the airlines start buying tickets to the fanfest. Just asking cause well, I live walking distance away form you and havent seen anything about the fanfest tickets up anywhere yet. Which to me is strange got mine in May last year.
Either way I'll be there, hopefully doing less running around then last year. *Cross's his fingers.* Last year was rather busy. "The wealth of nations lies not in gold or arms, but in the vigilance of its people." |

I usually pay $65, and by usually I mean that's what I paid last year. Part of me suspects it'll be a bit more this year, but it's pointless to speculate at this time...

Yet another selling point for the Nordica - that and the fact that it seems a large number of people are forgoing the package options to book it too.

Edited by: Vladimir Nabokov on 15/08/2008 23:03:10 Edited by: Vladimir Nabokov on 15/08/2008 23:02:18 Whats the deal with these flight packages? Why does it say the early bird special is no longer available; as it is still three months away! I can't believe people are paying $1200 for a round trip and staying in 4 star hotels, is this only for rich people? The package deals seemed much more reasonable and I had hoped to prolong my stay in the country in hostels & exploring the area to justify the plane tickets.
Maybe some locals can help with bargain hunting? Is Iceland Express the cheapest way to get to/from Iceland from Europe? I notice a lot of the destinations don't have November flights which is rather frustrating.

All,
I am looking to collect a list of anyone in SCA planning to attend Fan Fest this year. I will be there for a full week and would love to buy each and everyone of you coming a beer or three.
If there is enough of you willing to come I will also be paying for an "Alliance" room during the event so we can hang out, raid Jita, kill Goons, etc in our own private meeting room. I am also planning another surprise or two for those attending if we get enough participants.
I have posted the link below. Just over 70 days till the event. hoping to see more peoples there.

Well, I suspect it actually says "OK ladies, let's be specific [...]". The thing is, only women can see it with their unnaturally good vision (their knack for detecting dust in a spotless environment should be evidence enough to support this theory), so the sentence works fine for both genders.
Ergo, you not seeing it means you're not really a woman.
PS. I also support their message that ladies should bring more ladies.

Well, in my experience you don't very often get asked for krona or isk, just a number - '500 please!'. One interesting thing is that cash isn't used as often as you may be used to in Iceland, most residents tend to use plastic for everything - taxi's and pizza deliveries are all payable via card, which is something that surprised me when I moved here.
One thing you may be interested in keeping an eye on is the exchange rate of the krona, which is currently fluctuating quite a lot.

No kidding... Last year the EUR/ISK Exchange rate was about 85 (1Ç got you 85 ISK) this year 1Ç gets you 135 ISK meaning that the fanfest got a whole lot cheaper for us europeans. (unless the prices have gone up in Iceland)

I got the shirt from the EVE store on this site and as far as currency exchange I would do it there instead of here. Either at the Reykjavik airport or the hotel. The current rates can be found http://www.xe.com/ucc/ just convert USD to Iceland Kronur. That doesn't show exactly what you'll get though since most places that do the exchange take some for the effort. I'm planning on just using plastic over there most of the time and letting my bank charge me a fee. I do believe you can use your bank card at ATMs there and then your bank just charges you a fee for conversion when you pull the money. But I would check with your bank to see how much that fee is, it can be pretty nasty.

***BTW someone correct me if I'm wrong, I have never travelled internationally and this is information I found on the internet***
As far as bank cards go, its pretty much down to your card issuer whether it will work overseas. cards bearing the cirrus or maestro logos will work in a lot of places, visa and mastercard are pretty much your best bet, theyre global, and insured.
Insofar as exchanging currency, if you can find a place to exchange that doesnt charge massive commission (most places in uk for example charge very little or none) then its generally preferable to change your money there, the exchange rates are visible, all your cash is changed at the same rate, and any fee is a one off.
Banks can and do charge a fee for every transaction, plus a commission on exchange, and the rate you get from them may not neccesarily be the best one. add to that itll vary daily, so rates might get worse over the course of a trip.
From personal experience, having travelled rather extensively, I wont travel without enough currency to survive for a couple of days, this covers me against losing my wallet or not being able to find a cashpoint. I also like to travel with currency for any area an aircraft would reasonably expect to divert to (for weather/mech failure etc)
ie; travelling to africa id carry whatever currency my target city used, plus euros, as a european destination would be the most likely stopover.
Its down to personal preference of course, but take it from me being stuck in a strange country with only the clothes your stood up in ****ing sucks. (even more so when theyre gabbling some heathen foreign lingo ;) )

But some questions about it... (Not sure if CCP official will read this and answer :P)
1. Any schedule of Fanfest? Want to spend the sometime to visit Ice-land 2. Any local tour will be provided? Or I just add tour package to when purchasing Iceland Air package?
Johnny
Keep the three fanfest days free, you'll want to be there non stop to get the full winsauce feeling. Other than that, most local excursion companies operate daytrips, leaving in the morning, returning about 6pm so you should be fine travelling to most places.
I highly reccomend seeing the southern coast, some of the scenery is breathtaking... also The Blue Lagoon is a good way to relax away a really violent hangover

Hi All
I have bought the Fanfest Pass. I also found the "Sister of EVE Program" is interesting. Do I just need to register when I get there with my EVE pass only?
Thanks

I can confirm that there will be plenty of partying, it seems like us icelanders have decided to forget the crisis during weekends, as all bars and clubs have been packed the last few weeks :)
Although it would have been nice to buy the ticket for the fanfest on last years rate, for us "lucky" enough to live here
I will probably buy a ticket at the last possible moment, hoping the exchange rate will get better

Okay, I have a small problem. Turns out all the UK banks, travel agents and the post office have stopped ordering ISK (the real ones) because of this minor sniffle the global economy seems to have caught. I've been trying all week to find somewhere to get my Kronur from, without success.
Kinda sucks. If anyone has any advice, it'll be gladly accepted. -

Take credit cards and use those.
Or a visa debit card and use that.
Or at the outside just use your cards maestro/cirrus facilities to withdraw cash from cash machines.
Thats what I am doing. -------

I never get cash up front when I am traveling. I always use my ATM card to get some cash at the airport of my destination.
If you want to be sure just bring some pounds or euro's or dollars. If cards are not working for whatever reason you will have some cash (altough you you probally will get a bad exchange rate).
For Iceland: there is an ATM in the airport. There is also a currency exchange office. If I remember correctly, both are before the baggage claim. There is also an ATM at the fron of the Hilton/Nordica hotel. Also, you can pay virtually anywere in Iceland with cards, even a cab/taxi will accept credit cards. ---- Weeks of programming can save you hours of planning. Jumpplanner

Just a quick note as it might be easy to miss for those that have not been to the airport here before.
The exchange office is with the shops upstairs, before you go through the 2 doors which have no return.
Pretty much where everyone goes to the left through the glass doors, you'll want to stick right and go to all the stores, then you should be able to find the exchange office as well. --- GM Zhainius EVE Online Customer Support CCP Games |

Ok I just saw on the Scottish news that Icelandair is cancelling direct flights to iceland from Glasgow until around New Year or even March. Anyone else have any info on this? This could royally screw up my fanfest plans if this is the case.

I'd get in touch ASAP with Icelandair and get a ball rolling on how the hell they are going to honour your flight.

Those that still need Kronur before they leave, if your in the UK your Local Marks & Spencer are doing a great rate for ISK, almost 190 per pound when I bought mine :)
Only takes 2 days to get it into the store to.
First Choice refuse all transactions in Kronur and refuse any buy back unlike M&S

ok maybe you should check out your facts before posting something like this bud.
having called icelandair there are indeed cancelling flights to rek from glasgow effective from december 1st 2008 until 26th march 2009
this does not effect fanfest goers in the slightest before everyone panics.

Actually the facts that I was working on at the time came from the BBC in this story which was posted before any clarification came from Icelandair. My question was to find out if anyone else had heard anything from their travel agents, not to cause panic.

If Iceland still exist next year I'll cancel all RL, no matter what, and spill beer on everyone near me.

Actually the price this year for a longer stay at a much better hotel (the Nordica, I stayed at Hotel Cabin last year) is less then last year. Granted this year, I¦m doing some sightseeing too.
So far, I can report that it¦s a blast. Rained today but yesterday was beautiful and clear for my Golden Circle tour! I¦ve gotten a chance to hang with some of my friends that live here (and meet some new ones thru them) and I¦m looking forward to the arrival of many other friends and corpmates on Tuesday. Tomorrow... more sightseeing! Woot! ______________________________________________

I arrived today.. The planning was perfect, i woke up at 07:00 in Krefeld, Germany and went on to the first stop: Corpmate Larania who agreed to take me to Frankfurt Airport in Wuppertal. We then drove to Darmstadt to pickup Ukhar, he accompanied us to the Airport where we arrived exactly 2 hrs before departure for checkin. On checkin i noticed someone talking about a doomsday, turned out to be 2 KIA guys who were flying on the same plane. The flight itself was nothing unusual... few turbulences here and there, a nice view on scottland and then just clouds till Keflavik. The landing was just as smooth as the start, the pilot was pretty good.. i guess he'd be a nice bs pilot. At the baggage reclaim i noticed some ******* stole my rainbow colored belt i wrapped around the case... but as i couldnt do anything about it i went on, left the duty free and the shopping zone behind and used the ATM at the exit to get some ISK. With my fresh new ISK i bought a bus ticket to Reykjavik and about 1hr later i arrived at the Nordica. The area around Keflavik looks btw like a battle zone... rough and sharp stones everywhere, no trees, no bushes just pale gras growing on untouched areas. A desert of mud and dirt. A lonely house here and there looking like it was built of plywood, just waiting to collapase, an excavator standing in the middle of a big mud-pile and again - no ****ing tree to see in miles. Rain pouring against the window, visibility limited by the dizzy weather. Just the road with cars as signs of civilization. Then, out of nowhere... lights, more cars and... oh there! Traffic lights... Trees! They got trees and bushes! It's clear: this place is special...
After checkin at the Nordica i took a shower and then went on to the city. It's pretty amazing, there are Bars, Clubs, Bistros everywhere! I could barely keep up with reading all those Names and Signs while just walking by. While i was there i tested my memory and walked to the place i've seen the CCP HQ on that Fanfest map from last year and hell yeah, i found it! Looks pretty nifty with all that glass although it looked like not many people were there which could be caused by the day beeing sunday and the time 20:30 :) I went back, walking a different street just to read more but different names and signs. Stopped at the Pizza Hut in the Nordica basement to pickup something to eat. Actually quite nice even though i didn't get what i wanted... i think i should train my english speaking a bit more.
I hope the weather gets better tomorrow so i can go out and take some pictures.
While i'm at it: this is a call to all Fanfest attendents already in Reykjavik: We should try to organize some fun before Fanfest opens. I thought about day activities like visiting the blue lagoon (i think i read about this last year) or sightseeing and evening activities like billiard, drinking or threatening ccp staff ;) ___________________

Lot of people arriving Tuesday the 4th... and I know there is a thread here somewhere about a bar hopping tour that starts in the Nordica Hotel on the 4th as well... :D I¦m also at the Nordica and will probably be hanging out waiting for some of my corpmates to arrive the evening of the 4th. We are planning a day of sightseeing on Wednesday.... and I know there are some pre-fanfest parties going on as well. I myself am really hoping for a good night to try my luck seeing the Northern Lights (trust me they DON'T come to Southern California so this is my chance... lol)
I have an eve jacket... tho unfortunately it is quite often covered by a heavier weather proof jacket. But if you look for a female with flyaway brown curly hair wearing a blue and green scarf, that would be me.
I managed today to get on the same tour as a gentleman from Razor Alliance and his lady. *grin* It was a fun combo talking EVE over a black sand beach and a glacier etc. If you haven¦t been to Iceland before... definitely do the Golden Circle tour... but be careful of the icey paths!! I believe there are now some very undignified pictures of me getting to know the ice a bit better. On the days that I¦ve taken tours (today was my 2nd tour and I did the Southern Shores Adventure tour) the weather has been pretty nice. Some rain, but really that made for some neat rainbow photos! The rest of the time I lucked out with mostly clear skys.
I¦m looking very much forward to meeting alot of new people this year, as well as seeing some familiar faces from last year!! ______________________________________________

AWESOME time had by all our friends. Definitely more fun if you have corpmates and eve friends there. Its great matching faces to names. LOTS of drinking and stories and yes incriminating videos too:) It was such fun all around and the flight out sunday night to boston was probably 60-75% Eve folks so it was a huge mass exodus to the airport that afternoon. Bus after bus kept coming to the airport.
We hope to return next year. Travelling with family is such fun, you now have stories to hold over their heads:) lol I met such wonderful folks! CK and Sanfrey- you two are a riot to be around.:)
Great tourney- though lots of bugs..but good times had by all.
till next year:)
