Anyone spoke with TC as to what time they expect flights to leave after match, hearing from mates on world choice not until midday Sunday? Sounds like a one night trip that not a day return?

Unclear still, I'm guessing they're not sending out itineraries until they've confirmed all seats. I'd imagine TC will leave in the early hours. to be honest I'd rather them drag it out than having to run from the stadium to the airport!

[RedFalcon]

I’m still not sure whether to go or not.

Flights booked, accom sorted (although I can cancel hostel free of charge), but I was unsuccessful in the ballot. All realistic chances from mates pretty much exhausted now.

Back of my mind I’m thinking there won’t be loads out there without a ticket due to ballache and cost of going and there may be one or two spares kicking around for FV, or very near to.

But maybe that’s just wishful thinking!

Hello mate, were you travelling from Norwich? I think I work with a mate of yours. What route/dates were you meant to be travelling?

[anfieldash]

They state in the text below that they’re just confirming bookings post the ballot outcome. I wish the club would give us an indication of any future travel. I’m sure there’s lots in the same position with a ticket but no travel. And on the other side of the coin there’s people with travel and no tickets!

Well I'm one of the ones in the ticket but no travel category so I'm certainly hoping something will be sorted in the next couple of days regarding more flights!

I know, can’t make my mind up what’s the best, don’t wanna rush back but also don’t wanna sleep in airport for hours! Basel was bad enough with a 3 hour wait. Still,  least we’ll see the reds get our cup back!

50% chance it'll be shit mate, I like those odds!

Hello mate, were you travelling from Norwich? I think I work with a mate of yours. What route/dates were you meant to be travelling?

Yes mate I am.

To Amsterdam, onto Minsk and then Kiev. Leave at 6am Fri, get to Kiev at midnight.

Same way back. Leaving Kiev 8pm on Sunday, landing in Norwich 1.40pm Monday.

Our mutual friend, Simon?

Have you or anyone else seen Lorick sleeping a park bench in Norwich recently ?

Yeah Simon.

I didn’t book my travel until after I got one in the ballot am going by coach but if I was in your position having already booked and paid for travel it would be a shame to waste it now. There’s a chance you could pick one up on the day.

That's for a concert with the stage at one end.

It’s the same turnstiles for every event, there’s maps for the football and others just it shows it better in that picture so I posted that one. 👍

Has anyone had any confirmation from Thomas Cook yet? Only email I've had so far is immediately after booking saying it wasbpending.

Had mine yesterday confirmation and with receipt to say they have taken the money.  It was about 6pm but went into my junk mail folder even though I had previously marked them as not junk!

[Vladi Legend]

Does anyone know if the Metro will be running late after the game? What with KO being two hours later over there.

You would think so with it being a big event . Still trying to sort accommodation , so guessing if I'm sorted the best options to get there would be Metro.

[Spongebob Redpants]

Just checked th TC website and showing no events , so guess all the flights have gone .

Glad I booked alternative flights yesterday now .

Edit : It does say that some may become available , but thta's the extent of it .

[Tommypig]

It does also make you wonder that the one's without ticket's (so non qualifiers) but flights booked (sport options etc) have taken travel places from people that do qualify, if people that only qualified had those flights more people who qualified would be going -

“Beware, if a young attractive girl smiles at you it probably is not because she has a thing for 50 something fat balding men, but more likely that she is a Kiev lazy girl (prostitute) looking for free drinks and some additional income.”

How do you know what I look like ?

[WanderingRed]

I'd imagine the restricted views are to do with the second tier being staggered?

[JACKO_LFC]

Thomas Cook website now down, maybe they're doing something, that might be too optimistic...

They said seats would still become available to me?

Literally just had an email response saying they're still seeking other aircraft at the moment and working with the club.

Bloke I just delt with said there will be limited avalibity seats on sale again after ones who don't qualify are removed from list today.

Thats just showing off It's a good example for people still looking though. Before i realised i wasn't getting a ticket I spotted that was one of the cheapest routes, basically flying to poland then getting into Ukraine from there. There's other options too like from Warsaw etc but i think you found the cheapest one there.

I was considering renting a car when getting into Ukraine as a way to get my head down after the match, parked someplace safe with other people of course, done the same in Istanbul and slept like a baby, don't think all the beers had anything to do with it.

My mate is travelling on another ID but already got the confirmed emails and ATOL certificates.
Surely that means mine is confirmed now and we won’t be checked today?
You’ve worried me here!
