tPF meeting in Copenhagen?

[Kittie LaRoche]

btw, how is the airport of Copenhagen?

Pretty close to the actual city or really on the outskirts like London-Luton, etc?


oh yeah, and speaking of affordable hotels .... I'd be interested in that also.

 

[sweetlove]

ooooh yay!

of course you can!

and sweetlove... i really think you should get the 50.. much better than it collecting dust! and it's cheaper so you could get an extra cadena or something in hermès

Sounds like a plan. The more H goodies I can afford, the better

 

[annanas]

Anybody know some good, affordable hotels there?

the hotel fox isn't too expensive and i've always wanted to see a room there, it looks so cool! or failing that, my sofa is free but probably not too comfortable unless you're very very petite

 

[sweetlove]

airport is really close to the city.. I think it was 15-20 minutes by airport train if I'm not mistaken.

And yeah, I remember reading about the cc fee in some norwegian paper, I'll see if I can dig it up again. anyways, it's not *that* much money or I can always withdraw cash.

fox looks awesomme, I'll definately try and book a room there when we've set a date.

 

[Kittie LaRoche]

Yeah, we have LV in Oslo (I haven't been there yet though, but it looks nice), so I don't think I'll buy too much in copenhagen as I've heard they have some stupid credit card fee in .dk that charges foreigners 5% of what they paid for or something, but the SA's there are *cute* so I definately want to get something there

really?! wow, that sounds weird? I thought it depended on your cc company whether and what they charge you for using it abroad?

 

[sweetlove]

Ikke bruk kort i Danmark <-here it is. it's in norwegian, but if you know danish it shouldn't be a problem reading.

 

[Kittie LaRoche]

oooh, love that hotel .... there's a similar one in Berlin (can't think of the name right now)

 

[annanas]

maybe they figured norwegians have enough money and can afford to pay a little extra

 

[annanas]

ohh that's weird.. just read the article.. i've never noticed it though, and i've used both finnish and british credit cards here but then again i tend to just check that the charges are correct and not look at the exchange rate that closely.. i've never seen an extra charge listed though :s

 

[sweetlove]

Haha yeah "let's rip off those gullible norwegians" But yeah, I don't think it is so noticeable especially not if some gets "lost in currency" etc, but it is annoying because on a big shopping spree it could easily amount to $50-$100, and although a person that can afford it, it's still money.

 

[annanas]

if it's true they probably do lose it in the currency. they definitely don't list it that's for sure!

 

[sweetlove]

Oh well, it's worth the shopping experience anyways. I remember when I first bought my Chanel.. it was the happiest feeling in the world seeing the SA get the box and the pretty wrapping and bag and... ah, I'm ranting

 

[annanas]

i got my first and so far only chanel at heathrow and i think i'll keep getting them there unless birger christensen at cph airport have them the discount would be bigger

 

[sweetlove]

so Birger Christensen is overpriced? I regret buying lambskin (at least I think it was lambskin) that cost 11700 DKR instead of caviar, but it didn't look like they had caviar there, so I just took "the first and the best". Didn't look like BC had too big selection in handbags, so if I decide to get a Chanel there again, I'll probably call ahead and ask them to get whatever I want if they don't have it..

 

[annanas]

oh i haven't looked at their prices but at the airport the VAT is automatically discounted so that's what i meant. and i got mine when i was 19 or so, way before the price hikes, it's a medium sized classic flap type thing (but not a classic flap) and it was £575 at the airport back then
