French Translation

hawke · 22-04-2009, 01:49 PM

We are going to the Monaco Grand Prix next month, and the tickets arrived today. However, my French is limited to ordering food and wine, and doesnt cut it on the detail.

Can anyone help with a translation of these tickets. I think I can work it out, but dont feel like showing up at the wrong gate on the wrong side of the city.

Merci.

i'm very fluent in french but to make sure i don't feed you any false info i'm going to need to see the tickets in person, so if you could just send them to .....

you lucky bugger.

I'm French, those pics are too small and as prydey said, you need to send those tickets to me and I can give you a detailed diagram of where to go.

Seriously though, you LUCKY BA

RD!
That is on my Bucket List.
Are you staying in Monaco? Someone's been saving their pennies.
Hope you have a ball and give us plenty of pics and stories of your trip.
Can Webber get another podium?

hawke, did you manage to secure the flights to europe for $1275 (approx) from Singapore Air/Qantas as they both had specials on?

gcg2503,

I've got to a point in life where I now belive that no one died by being too comfortable. We are going upstairs in the new Qantas A380. The tickets are more than $1,275. First London, Chunnel to Paris, Hire car Paris-Nice by back roads. Local train Nice-Monaco for race weekend, then TGV Nice-Paris-London and home.

Now that is the way to do it.

I have upstairs on an A380 three times so far

However, there is a big difference between the front half upstairs and the rear half!

gcg2503,

We are going Premium Economy this time, so we will be at the back. I'd be interested in your experince. Last year we went to Chile in Business - Row 2 - on LAN and found that very comfortable. Number one son and his friend went in row 78. They were not so comfortable.

Congratulations on your trip!

I will be taking the Airbus A380 again to London as well, but my trip to France will be nowhere near as cool as yours... either way I'm really looking forward to it!

Enjoy!

PS. I'm going first week of August... can't wait!

Gday Hawke

When I was based in london from (early 2003 - march 2009) I would regularly travel to oz (at least every 6 mths)

First three tried QANTAS, Emirates and BA until I flew with Singapore Airlines

After that I was hooked - will only fly Singapore Airlines ever again - did 7 long haul flighst with them in a row...SIngapore A380 is awesome (both business class and even economy class)

having said that, Qantas on an A380 should be very good as well. I heard premium Economy is quite good , my mate just came from LDN on an A380 Premium Eco, he is 6 ft 4in and he loved it

Have a ball in Monaco - i wanted to go but my mates were not into F1 like me :(

How cool are the TGVs! I like when you are doing 300 odd, and another one goes past in the other direction 2 foot away also doing 300! BANG, what was that!
