There were plenty the other week on Ryanair but now all the dates have been cleared as well as Easyjet.
Im sure some people on here had taken a gamble and booked flights so was just wondering what the situation is now.
If you've got enough Airmiles there's good availability on all flights from Heathrow to Prague that week. Otherwise BA flights are £40 - £70 going out and £100 coming back.

Easyjet flights are only listed up to May at present. June flights won't be listed for several weeks yet.

You can book a city break to Prague for that week with easyJet and that way you can select flights before the normal release of them 11 months before departure. 8 of us have just done that and got flights from Gatwick plus hotel for 3 nights

We looked at that as well but could only find places where the refund cut off date for the booking was before the semi finals!!

I've got tickets to Goodison on Sunday 18 September - in the home end (I'm taking a Bluenose mate who, scandalously, has never been), but still. A ground I haven't been to, and I'm looking forward to it.

Was planning on making a bit of a weekend of it without breaking the bank - up early Saturday, home late Sunday, something like that. Can't buy train tickets yet as Avanti haven't published their timetables, and now it turns out there's a train strike on the Saturday anyway. With a 2pm Sunday KO, that's going to f*** over a load of us.

One option is flying. Via Dublin (ffs). If I can even get to the airport. Anyone got any better ideas than that? Coach an option, clearly (with the same 'getting to the coach station' caveat, but frankly I am terrible on four wheels so would rather avoid it!

edit: I am acutely aware there isn't really a good answer here!

Get the train up Friday and come back on Sunday? I appreciate it's two nights in Liverpool, but plenty to do.

A solution so obvious I didn’t even consider it. But, yes, that is a much better shout! 👍🏻

If you've booked flights with Blueair to and from Bucharest - they're in trouble.

Not sure where to post this...

Have a non-refundable twin (single occupancy) room booked for Aarhus on Thursday night - in Cabinn Aarhus - and can no longer go to the Silkeborg game.

It is pretty central - walking distance from train - and I only paid 85 euros for it - though would probably need to pay a bit more to use for two people.

PM me if interested in taking the booking over.

I’m flying into Aarhus on Thursday. Does Anyone know if there is a bus service from the airport to the train station for onward travel to Silkeborg?

Any info/details would be appreciated.

TIA :hamm:

Yes there is…did Viborg away the other week and flew in to Aarhus. The airport bus will drop you right outside the train station and takes around 50 to 60 mins approximately depending on traffic.

Five of us on the Weds morning Ryanair Stansted flight into Aarhus, due 1405.
Seven-seater cab booked into Aarhus city centre, happy to squeeze in a couple more to keep per-head costs down.
