My flight tomorrow doesn't even show on there

Who are you flying with mate?

Im with WCS and due to land at 04:30 26/05 and mine isn't on there either. Just spoke to them and they blamed the airport which seems to be the way they handle any question they have put to them at the min. Mine is showing on the departures at LJLA so all good.

Not really the time

To be fair mate , it's the type of humour that sometimes comes out when you feel devastated .

He's one of the ones who got shafted .

Aye: I can either sit here and get furious about World Choice or try and make the best of it. Only bright side is that our resident bluenose at work is off this week.

Is it maybe not showing charters on their arrivals board?

Got to give credit for trying to sort this fuck up out but the unconfirmed plan at the moment seems to be that  “hopeful” flights have a slot at Kiev to land just 1.45 hours before kick-off, bus with a speed escort straight to the ground (so defo miss the whole days experience an possibly the kick off) an get bumped to pay another £900-£1000 again as WCS have done one so aren’t involved but kept the money which we can be “assured” by WCS will be repaid sometime in the next 7 days......just like the flight landing spots which got cancelled.

From the club:

Quote
In light of the extraordinary circumstances surrounding the belated cancellation of flights to Kiev, Liverpool FC is offering affected supporters a full refund on match tickets bought directly from the club.

Supporters who were booked on flight numbers ET8704 and ET8706, and those who were unable to travel on the rearranged ET8700 flight booked through World Choice Sport, will be able to claim the refund.

Refunds will be issued both at the ticket office at Anfield and via postal application. Supporters will need the following information in order to claim their refund:

Confirmation of the flight cancellation
The match ticket booking confirmation email that was issued by LFC when the tickets were booked
The original ticket (which LFC will retain after the refund is processed)
Refunds can be obtained in person at Anfield on Saturday May 26 between 10am and 3pm, with postal applications being accepted with postmarks dated Friday May 25 and Saturday May 26 only. More information on how to claim your refund can be found here.

The decision to offer refunds has been made in response to the cancellation of two flights chartered by Widnes-based travel company World Choice Sport, leaving around 650 supporters without a flight to Kiev for the Champions League final.

The TC flight tomorrow morning about 9am from Liverpool is OK 6514 and that is showing on the arrivals of KBP. However it is with CSA (Czech Airlines) so maybe they mean TC's own aircraft flights won't show.

All thomas cook flights are showing on arrivals for tomorrow. Can see 35 flights from Liverpool on there.

Since TC is the official club travel, I highly doubt there will be any issues. I hope so anyway

This is very very poor and the club offering refunds for tickets as long as done before whatever date is also bollocks. They stand to make millions they can get a slot to get team back that night/morning. They could also pressure two slots for another plane or two as could UEFA. Cancel the UEFA plane slots replace it with a charter. Least they could do is bus the c*nts in from Switzerland and send their jet to Liverpool. Miserable twats the lot. Heart goes out to thise of you with cancellations and hope club/owners/Thomas Cook/UEFA someone can sort this evil situation out. Finally no consolation but ban the travel company from ever running trips again associated with the club. I have my fingers crossed for you all to get sorted

This. I was really expecting an announcement from the club or someone to say something has been sorted. The amount of money being made by UEFA and our own club yet they can't sort out this mess or come up with some kind of alternative?

Standard problem when we get to a European final.

Madrid get a 16k allocation and return 1000+ tickets. We get a 16k allocation and we probably take 30k+ fans.

The location of the final is based on UEFA's whim and seems to take no account of how difficult it is to get there; or whether the airport can cope. Then we get to the final and the manure hits the windmill.

In the absence of anything from the chippy mayor, I'm getting resigned to not going. Not amused.

He's too quick to open his mouth and blow his own trumpet - gets way ahead of himself .

Having said all that , it seems like he above anyone else has tried to pull out all the stops to get us there , and for that I'll doff my cap to the fella . Contrast that to other parties who should have really been pulling out all the stops !

Talking in anger at the moment , but I'm majorly pissed off at the club .

Hugely disappointed that our efforts to sort #LFC fan flights has not worked @Vitaliy_Klychko & airport directors did all possible with landing slots and planes but not able to get over the line. Frustrated by utter shambles faced by loyal fans

Trip to the pub for me tomorrow night then.

Just had another look at the tickets - really weird to think we won't be using them.

Hopefully they'll find their way to Kiev in the morning, have found someone who needs them.

Someone at the club needs to sort this fucking shite out right fucking now!

what did we get £70m odd for getting there, they can't spare a tiny fucking portion of that to help these people out?

Are people getting onto henry about this? don't know if much protesting for help will do much but fuck me this is so so unfair.

The accountability is all UEFA's as it is so clear Kiev was never fit to stage this final in the first place. If you haven't got the means to deal with all the travel why would any organisation worth its salt let the event go ahead there? You won't get anything off those incompetent bellends though.

It's done by a process similar to that of the Olympics, I tried to look to see who the other candidates were but can't find anything.
