We are wanting to be a bit flexible and leave our options open to fly Berlin Geneva on either Sun 27th or Mon 28th , depending on how much fun we are having - there are flights available on Easyjet on both days, but much cheaper on the Monday. My question is - do you think its best to make up our mind before we leave to europe on 17th July and look at the situation once there? Is is safe to just gamble on a stand by ticket - they may get expensive closer to departure. Any feedback appreciated.
Have tried Wotif of hotels , not bad between 55 and 75 euros, any other central accom recommended?
Do you have any comments on Easyjet generally - reliability etc
Thank you
Easyjet are fine - you get what you pay for which is no frills. Not much leg room & definately no free refreshments but yes they are reliable & generally on time. The earlier you book the cheaper the flight will be. Prices increase almost daily the closer you get to each flight departure date.
There are no stand-by tickets. The earlier you book the cheaper the tickets, once all the cheap tickets are sold you have to pay more. Only you can decide which you prefer, greater flexibility or cheaper tickets.

Haven't you ever watched "Airline" on TV? That would turn anyone off flying EasyJet, but having said that, you get what you pay for, so if you want a cheap fare, you must expect there to be "No Frills". I flew EasyJet from London to Copenhagen once and had no complaints. Just be sure to get there in plenty of time and to have no more than 20kg (or whatever their limit is) in your stow away luggage. A few ounces over and you'll pay dearly. I believe they are getting worse now since the fuel has become so expensive, so be careful.
Do you really get airline in Australia ? I love that show.
Weeknights on cable. The shows are about five years old, but we watch anyway.
Do you think that maybe EasyJet have improved their service in the past five years?
Easyjet are fine really. Airline deliberately show all the 'bad bits' to make the show more exciting. We also have a show called Airport which is all about the goings on at Heathrow.
The neo-Remanesque Kaiser Wilhelm Memorial Church is one of Berlin's most famous landmarks. The Allied (actually a British pilot) bombing of 22 November 1943 left only the husk of the church's west tower standing.
A modern octagonal Hall of Worship with its bluer-than-blue stained-glass windows stands next to it.
The contrast between these two buildings was quite impressive to me.
Walking around Berlin on Saturday morning and early afternoon I saw many postmen and few postwomen delivering postcards, letters and small parcels.
They were using different vehicles, carts, bicycles etc. always painted in bright yellow colour with logo of Deutche Post just like this one on my picture.
As in many other cities around the world, in Berlin, too, the 21st of June is not only the first day of summer, but also the day of the "Fête de la Musique". Since 1995 there is music all about town on this day. Bands and musicians present their music, all conceivable styles, for free to the public. In Berlin almost every quarter has its stages, open-air. It's really a great ambience!
At night the party continues indoors as the "Fête de la Nuit" at the Berlin clubs and and concert halls. So if you happen to be in Berlin any June 21st, don't miss the "Fête de la Musique"!
You can look up the programm at:

Friedrichstrasse has been rebuilt after the Berlin wall came down. It is nowadays one of the main shopping streets in Berlin.
Unfortunately the shops in this area are very expensive so at least for backpackers this street is no-go. I would recommend Ku-Damm for shopping.. Above average
Yeah ! The latest 'Happy Hour' in town ! Yes buddy the stereo might not be everyones taste, but the best DJs of Techno and Electro produce that sounds which can be admired as CDs two years later in music stores ... Of course the bars serve pretty cool drinks and cocktails too ... with the difference that their daily 'Happy Hour' is between 3:00 a.m. and 4:00 a.m.. In that time the price for every cocktail is EUR 4.- ... Enjoy ! Be yourself !
