Is it known ahead of the draw when specific Champions League games in each group will occur? e.g. Do we know when seed 1 plays away to seed 3 in Group D?

It would be good to know as we'll want to book flights for away games before airlines can hike up the prices, so if we know where we're going as soon as the draw is being made we can get on it quickly. I found something that gave this information last year but I can't find it again! Maybe it's too early?

Thanks in advance.

No, the numbers in the schedule don't correspond with the numbers of the seeding pots.

After the draw is made UEFA lets the computer determine the schedule in which they take into account various things, amongst others that teams from "cold countries" don't play at home on matchday 6.

@sikeless: After the draw, you should check the websites of all clubs in the relevant group every couple of minutes. The big clubs are usually very quick in publishing their schedules. Twitter and Facebook might also help.

But it usually takes at least an hour before any information is leaked.
