Question about the Maiden touring timetable and their travel schedules

The TRUE Dick Brucinson
Once I was lucky already and met the band, in 2005 in Dublin that was. :) I'm trying this again and try to get my Senjutsu vinyl signed by them.
There was a little minus about the great day back in 2005: No photo exits, so a mate of mine and I will go together this time for there might be a better chance to take photos as well just in case we're lucky and be able to catch on them.

We try to meet them in Bremen on July 20, and the situation around seems pretty comfortable: As I'm not going to see the Bremen show but Frankfurt a week later I have plenty of time to be at Bremen airport without any hurry. I'm on vacation then and I don't even live far away from Bremen, so it won't even take a big travel.

My thoughts:

Four days before they play Bremen they'll play their show in Athens, so that's why I actually expect them to come in with a flight whether from Heraklion or from Athens. Do you think this makes sense in general, or do you think that they'll probably catch the plane to London after the Athens gig to spend their three days off in England? Anybody knows a bit about their "systematics of travelling" when touring?

Well, in case they don't go to the UK for their three days off but directly will be coming in from Greece to Germany: Is it in this case more likely they
a) play the Athens show, spend three days off in Greece and then take the flight to Bremen the same day of the Bremen show,
or is it more likely they'll
b) take the flight to Germany the day after the Athens show?
:huh:

Any stratego advice?

Yes, leave them alone. If you bump into them and approach them politely, they are probably going to react well. If you chase them at their hotels, they are not.

Crap. I don't bug them or so, I just wait there and in case they pass by I ask them politely if they would mind signing the album and if a photo was alright for them. Except for the photo that was the way I did it last time too and was fine for them obviously. Even had a nice smalltalk with all of them, especially first with Bruce and later with Dave. I don't "chase them" at their hotel, so what about...
Btw my question was about time scheduling and not about behaviour advice :facepalm: but thank you anyway.

I am pretty sure that someone would know at what time their private jet would be landing at whichever German airport is chosen this time, but probably would not be sharing that information with fans. It might not be their hotel, but waiting at the airport for their arrival is something they might not be particularly happy with. I might be wrong, though.

From what I experienced the last time in Dublin when I waited infront of the hotel you are wrong, indeed.
