No idea what it'll be like as I've never been there but it was the cheapest place i could fly to. Beats staying in Blighty anyway where entrance fee to my local pub is £40 on NYE!!!! -------------------- My Travelogue Rich

Sure their safety record is on par with that of Indonesian carriers but I still used them and found them OK. I only flew from HK to Taipei return on a very old Boeing plane and it was fine, and the stewardesses were pretty hot! They have a much newer fleet now compared to 2 years ago so you'll be fine -------------------- My Travelogue Rich

Nice one Rich, I'm impressed with the 'for-the-hell-of-it-ness'. I was actually in Frankfurt early this time last year and had a great time: some amazing food, excellent knees up with the locals and all that jazz. Make sure you try the apfel wein - a local thing which they throw down their necks by the jug full. If you're a non-smoker the bar mist will kill you but you'll still have a blinder. Enjoy.. As for me, I'll be spending Chrissie and New Years in Melbourne this year, another summery festive season centred around barbecues, beers and outdoor pools. Last year was on a beach in Portugal so I'm looking forward to another random one. Should be good.. -------------------- Woz..

Nice work on the one-way ticket to L.A. (Latin America). I couldn't think of a better place to spend the Eve than a place I have never been! -------------------- My travels.

Frankfurt gets a bad rep but I thought it was a pretty good little city. Sure it's got it's problems but no more so than other cities. It may not have an abundance of sights but I still found enough to do for a couple of days, and it was a welcome break from Blighty! I think the smoking ban had kicked in as for the first 2 days there was no problem at all. On NYE there was a big demonstration against the ban and all the pubs were disgusting! -------------------- My Travelogue Rich

It topped 44 degrees that night and we had to drink so much ice cold beer to cool ourselves down we could have built a separate house out of empty stubbies.. -------------------- Woz..

I'm sure that was a hardship for you...... It's actually a gorgeous sunny day in England today. Blue sky, suns out and a balmy 8C!! Edit: It's pissing down now, just in time for my lunch break. -------------------- My Travelogue Rich
