Topic: Roma Away - Wednesday 2nd May 7.45pm - Travel Advice in OP

[davidsteventon]

Gone for the 2nd plane for SportsOptions which they've just put up.

Wanted some days in Rome but just feels safer/more organised and less chance for things to go wrong or be left worrying.

Also too many things going on to be trying to plan at short notice so I'll pay extra for it this time. Been to every away this season except Maribor - it's expensive when the reds do well.

Booked this as well for me and my 12 year old lad, we normally make our own way on trips but i felt this is the safest option with him going, ( this will be his 10th Euro away, lucky git 😂 and all on his own credits too, bar Sion ).

Some effort that! Fair play

Inter away had buses to the ground, but i walked it back after. Napoli had buses after, not sure if they did to the ground. I got there two hours before, because i looked at the kick off time on lfc website, not realising Italy was an hour ahead. Yep you read that correctly.
Udinese even put on buses which was probably the friendliest Italian venue we have played.

Utrecht away I went in to the ground 1 hour before ko, schoolboy error.
Had some great times on Italian aways, Milan was class and so too was fiorentina, Napoli not so much..

Mon to Thursday.  Birmingham direct to Rome.  150 return . Morning flights both ways.

Bit of advice needed, with me panicking Friday to get the flights booked and with being in work time was precious. I have entered my mates date of birth wrong on the booking with BlueAir and Ryanair (the day of his birth is out by 2 days), I have not entered any passport details as of yet. The question is how do I change it as there is no option to edit on the booking/will I be ok as didn't enter passport details with the booking?

It's the API (advance passenger information) so you'd hope this can be amended before you actually check in and print off.

A quick google suggests no issues in Europe (mainly concerns in USA TSA for example) but I'd prefer the piece of mind.

This thread says the lad called RyanAir and sorted it before: https://www.askaboutmoney.com/threads/printed-off-ryanair-boarding-pass-with-wrong-d-o-b.155699/

You'd expect you can change this yourself online somewhere and you'd hope it wouldn't matter but see if anyone else knows more.

So there’s not going to be any sort of square or anything ? Based of 01?

Last time we ended up playing footy in some park near where the coaches parked up for the day

It's a third flight, first two are from Manchester.

The Liverpool flight sold out in 20 mins yesterday. This morning it went back on sale as they secured a larger plane. Another flight is going on sale tomorrow (3rd)

I booked on the second flight released at 1pm yesterday and it's going from Manchester according to my confirmation.

This is what I thought and is consistent with the email they sent this morning and what’s on the website. I’m hoping it’s right because I need to book on the third plane.

I’ve emailed to check.

[CONFIAMOS]

Yes its the Liverpool flight that was the original, sold out yesterday, they secured a bigger plane over night and so some extra places went on sale for the first plane this morning.

Ah OK, I thought the first one was going from Manchester too. Cheers, panicked then that I'd booked parking at the wrong airport!

First flight sold out Friday evening though, I just missed it as I was driving home from work, second one went on sale at 1pm yesterday.

Reply #60 on this thread has the details of the first Sport options flight and it says going from Manchester at 7.00 am, the 2nd flight also goes from Manchester but at 7.15 am according to the confirmation email.

Just read posts back. I'm on sport options from Liverpool that they got a bigger plane for today

[riggerz]

Currently both Sport Options flights go from Manchester (leaving at 07:00 and 07:15). The one they put up this morning was limited as they secured a bigger plane for the second flight so only a handful of seats were available. They are hoping to do a third flight tomorrow but this one will be from Liverpool.
We managed to get onto the second flight yesterday out of Manchester. 

[carl123uk]

We're on the 1st flight that was put up and it's definitely from Manchester. Exact times will be sent 10 days before

Do these two posts not contradict each other or am I starting to confuse myself with all this!

The first two flights from Sport Options were definitely out of Manchester. The 3rd that they are selling today i believe is out of Liverpool. That was according to the message left on the answer phone.
I missed the first one but got on the second and we are out of Manchester.
The one they sold yesterday is simply more seats on the second flight due to them getting a bigger plane!!

[riggerz]

Just spoken to Sport Options and he has confirmed what I said earlier regarding the first 2 flights are from Manchester and the 3rd flight being released today is from Liverpool

I need to speak to them then as I booked yesterday morning and the confirmation email says JLA!

[riggerz]

Third flight is now on their website but its £379

That'll be sold out soon enough as well. Could do with an allocation announcement off the club.

What sort of ticket prices are we expecting for this? Imagine it will be pick-up over there again for non-UK customers

[CONFIAMOS]

rumour is around 80 euro

[CONFIAMOS]

Just in case anyone's curious 2 planes out of manc, one out of Liverpool that went on sale today.

Sport options had another flight out of Liverpool that wasn't advertised due to it comprising of a block booking. There were some spare seats left over on this so they went on sale with no marketing yesterday.

Panic over

The priority rights information here http://www.liverpoolfc.com/tickets/how-to-buy-tickets/priority-rights-holders says they’re entitled to tickets for semi finals. Does anyone know if that includes this game?

I think its a grey area but i'm sure they we have never had Semi aways in the past

[ant]

only games at anfield and finals for PRH, so not this AWAY game - YNWA !

Me and my brother on the third Sport Options from Liverpool. Anyone else?
