All In.
Stanstead to Tallinn Friday AM £90.
3 Nights at Reval Park Hotels & Casino E132 (or alarmingly 2,065 Estonian Krona - I"ll be keeping an eye on the statement for that one)
No return booked, options open.
Thanks for the useful info above. NB - There are 3 Reval Hotels in Tallinn so make sure you get the right one (follow Paulie_D"s link ftw)
-
No return booked, options open.
Return options include:
Indirect flights via your city of choice.
Ferry to Helsinki in the morning for c.£30 (IIRC from AFerry.co.uk (http://www.aferry.co.uk)) and a direct flight back to London for c.£100 or less.
Ferry takes a couple of hours. Sailings on Tallink Silja line on Monday morning at 7.30am and 11.00 am. There is also a Viking Line trip at 8.00 am but that is 30 minutes longer and requires you to book a cabin for some reason. Tallink Silja seems the most flexible and quickest..
I have a site I use to check flight options...you can"t book through it but it has loads of filters and stuff to narrow down your options.
It"s ITA Software (http://matrix2.itasoftware.com/). Just enter your destination airport as "LON" so it checks all London airports (if that"s what you want). One note..to ensure that it calculates taxes and things correctly, click the "More options" button and enter "LON" in the Sales City box.
The "older" version of this site (which is in beta) is HERE (http://matrix.itasoftware.com/cvg/dispatch) and offers a "matrix" for flights times/airports etc.

Easy jet Stansted Leave 7am Friday Return Sunday leaves Tallinn 10pm figure if I go that deep will be able to stay until Tuesday. Anyways it"s 270-280 including two nights at the Reval Park Casino hotel.
Is it defo this venue ? if so i think that might do me subject to getting a seat.
-
Is it defo this venue ?
Erm...I believe so....I hope I haven"t blabbed something I shouldn"t. I believe that Betfair have already put on an event there so it"s an semi-informed thing.
See my signature below. ;D

If you click on the links they offer to pre-register you as a member of the casino. Whilst I have no doubts about their veracity I (personally) cannot recommend sending the information they are requesting in this day and age.
As most of the UK contingent will, I assume, be arriving on Friday, signing up for membership should be no problem the night before the event.
Also...just in case you missed it the minimum age limit in Estonian casinos is 21 years!
-
Also...regarding the "discount" being offered...the room rate I was quoted before has now changed and is higher than previously stated. Might be worth grabbing if you haven"t already booked.
-
I am booked leave Stansted Friday with easyjet return Tuesday.
And my travel tip is don"t tell the wife and two teenage kids your going to Tallinn in the school holidays. :"( :"( :"( :"(
Will need a high finish to break level. ;D
Oh well tis done now, see you there Duke, Phil, Don L, etc and be lucky. :D

Hi,
I'm sorry if there is some problem. The Reval Hotel Group joined to Radisson Blue chain and probably something is lost during the servers merging. I have asked them to fix the trouble and make the code working again.
Best regards,

Indeed it is...REVALHOTEL (https://www.revalhotels.com/en/room-booking/available-rooms/hotels/6/checkin/30.07.2010/checkout/03.08.2010/adults/1/code/BETFAIR).
I love that there is an "APAT" rate. How good is that.
Now...all I have to do is take it down in Aberdeen to be able to afford it.

This is taking too long to come around.. can we set off from Stockton on tees yet??? :-\

Tighty mentioned some concerns to me about possible problems purchasing & re-selling Estonian Kroons in the UK.
I can"t find anything specific on this but it is a "minor" currency so there may be some places that will have trouble dealing with your requirements.
Estonia is set to join the Euro come January 1st 2011 and the Kroon will go the way of the France Franc and the Deutschmark. This may add to perceived difficulties in re-selling.
My suggestion would be to exchange any surplus local currency at Tallinn airport before catching your flight back.
EDIT: Looks like you can buy and sell Kroons through the Post Office (http://www.postoffice.co.uk/portal/po/jump1?catId=62900708&mediaId=19300207).

I will bring a minimal amount for ahem expenses

Travel Tip from JP
Don"t take 2 months to ask your manager for the time off giving him / her the opportunity to only confirm your holiday 8 days before the flight ;D
