You have probably noticed that a large part of airfare to WGT is taxes. While there's always been taxes, they have rise perhaps 20X since 9/11/01. Much of this...
It's possible that that $250 might include a fuel surcharge (some airlines will calculate fuel surcharges differently depending on countries being flied to,...

We bought tickets a few months ago on priceline for $815 each including taxes. Non stop round trip from jfk to berlin on air berlin. I've found that because...
Hi everyone! With a bit more than a month to the 20th anniversary WGT, it's time to announce another Leipzig tradition: the Thursday night dinner! As we've...
... OK, let's look at the figures: Boeing 727-200, fuel burn: 1585-1625 gallons/hr cruise speed: mach 0.81 = 535 knots distance, Boston to Leipzig, and travel...
For some reason, perhaps francophone solidarity, flights between Montreal and Paris are comparatively very cheap, at $693. From there, you can take the train...
Personally, I'm hoping for transporter technology. "Beam me to Leipzig." Actually, I enjoy train rides, so maybe I'd say "Beam me to Berlin. I'll catch a...
... Not so keen on the transportation stuff, I don't want my particles quantum entangled. So, if we all got together and bought the 727, it would be...
So, for various reasons (a bout of unemployment that drained my savings, new job I got at the last possible minute that made my existing WGT trip plans viable,...
In my own experience, getting tickets at WGT was no problem. I stood in line for maybe 10-15 minutes? Others have seemed to agree. ... [Non-text portions of...
I just got the following note from Ulrike at WGT. (This info should assist Bob, who got a late opportunity to go.) ==== "For technical reasons the print of...
I've had far more difficulty with will-call tickets (finding the person who has the list; being asked to pay an unexpected balance) than with just buying them...
Last year I had no problem picking up my volcano-averted will-call ticket at the box office at Agra, but it was annoying to have to make the extra trip when I...
I'm with Althea - if you have will-call tickets, then you have to go to a specific window at a specific location to get your tickets, with everyone else who is...
I figure this may be my last WGT, perhaps I am getting too old for this. I am going to sell my ham radio and use the money to pay for this trip. $1500 airfare,...

Do any Veggie/Vegan types have experience with this restaurant "Zest"? I am considering visiting during WGT...if not, can you please recommend some to me? ...
I believe this place has many good reviews on happycow.com. I wanted to check it out last year, but I didn't get a chance. Maybe we should get a group of...
Zest is amazingly good! Definitely the best veggie place Leipzig has to offer. It's quite a small place so you may have to wait for a table at peak times, but...
... Zest does have some very good reviews. Of course, I still think of laundry soap when I hear the name ;) Did we already cover this topic? Well, in case we...
