Road trip to Urzbekistan anyone  ?

 

[Mariner Girl]

Obie One's luck continues ....... could not have got a better draw.

Hope Sydney get Japan

Does anyone know when find out about where each of the home matches are being played?

$5500 minimum to get to Tashkent.  Gotta go via Beijing AND Moscow......

FFA will confirm in the next day or two where the home matches will be.  Look for 2 in Sydney, one each in Melbourne in Brisbane.

As for the flights to Japan, JL and QF only have published fare out at the moment for Feb. Expect new special fare out next week.
Just don't be too quick with the NZ fares, because you are travelling backwards to Auckland and coming back past OZ to Japan, plus the flights don't connect in Auckland on the same day.

Let me check on Monday for you as I don't have a flight system at home.

Looking at about $1400 return to Tokyo with whoever....... either Qantas or Air NZ.

Bwaaaaaaaaahahahaha, for the Uzbek game, there's a flight back to Oz via some butt-f*ck nowhere place in North-West China, Beijing, AND Hong Kong - 26 hours flying, for a total travel time of 37 hours.

[Mariner Girl]

There is a fare out for Cathay / Aeroflot which takes you Syd / HKG / MOW then to Uzbek. Start saying your prayers if you are prefared to fly Aeroflop

Quick flight to Dubai and a 14 hour flight back to Sydney. The 6th June is a Saturday, but it will still be a night match due to the heat, so unless they have a chartered Qantas flight on standby to get them out of there that night, expect an arrival back to Oz on the 8th June. This will be tough.

Just had a peep at Uzbekistan record at home in the last round: 3-0, 3-0 and 1-0, and one of the 3-0s was against Saudi Arabia.
