 2010 Gothenburg Tour Travel Information
IMPORTANT TRAVEL NOTES to Gothenburg, Sweden
|
|
 Which Airport do we use? Gothenburg Landvetter Airport (GOT). Airport transfers are included in your tour package for Gothenburg Landvetter Airport (GOT) only. If you choose to use any other airport (including the 'City' airport), you will need to organize your own airport transfers. |
|
When should we arrive at the Gothenburg Airport?
Tour Begins - The tour officially begins at 12pm (noon) on Monday, July 19th at the Gothenburg Airport (GOT). Please book your travel so that you and your family have arrived, gathered your baggage and are ready to leave the Airport on the team bus by noon on July 19th. We suggest arrivals before 11:00am on July 19. If you will already be in Europe, meet Planet Hockey Coaches, Kungsbacka Hockey Representatives and your host family in the GOT Airport lobby with all your bags at 11:00am on July 19. See where to meet the group, it's easy, you can't miss us.
Tour Ends - You may book departure flights anytime on July 26, however, we recommend late morning departure flights or later...Again, make sure to use the Gothenburg Landvetter Airport (GOT). |
|
Arrivals - Busses and housing families will arrive at the airport at 11am and will depart at 12pm noon on Monday, July 19th. Book flights into Gothenburg that land in time to gather your baggage, clear customs and get to our (to be determined) meeting area by noon. Planet Hockey Staff will meet you at the Gothenburg Airport beginning at 10:00am. You will be notified in future Tour Emails as to our meeting spot in the Gothenburg Airport (GOT). This is a small airport and we will be a very large group, so it will be impossible to miss us. |
| Departures back to North America - If you are departing on an international flight, you will need to check-in for your flight 2 hours prior to departure. Round trip airport transfers are included in your tour package, assuming you arrive according to the arrival time above. We will get you back to the Gothenburg (GOT) Airport if you depart on the official departure date (July 26). |
| Should we book our flights now? All confirmed players/families/team must consult with Shawn Killian prior to booking airline tickets. Please do not book flights until you have been officially confirmed on the tour by Shawn Killian. If you have any questions, call or email Shawn at shawn@planethockey.com or 720-304-3880. Please email your itinerary to Shawn once booked. |
| Early Arrivals into Gothenburg - Arriving a day early is a good idea. You will be much more rested if you arrive into Gothenburg at least one day early. Those who arrive early are responsible to book their own hotel and to be at the Gothenburg Airport (GOT) at the correct meeting time. Hotel - most convenient option (walk from airport terminal): Landvetter Airport Hotel. |
Any tips to SAVE $ on our airline tickets?
(1) Use search engines such as Expedia, Travelocity and Orbitz. Once you have found a price you like, consider booking it directly through the air carrier in case any changes become necessary. Dealing directly with the airlines is much easier than having to work through Expedia if a change is necessary.
(2) Look into booking a roundtrip into a major city/hub in Europe such as Frankfurt, Amsterdam or London. Then look at a round trip between that city and Gothenburg. Sometimes this may save a few bucks. |
| Late Arrival into the Gothenburg Airport? If you arrive after the group (or have travel problems) and can not make the noon team bus departure, we will provide you with a 'Plan B' to catch up with the group. |
