Flying out from BHX at 6am tomorrow. Flight connects to Nice via CDG, and just realised there is only 45mins between landing and the gate closing on my Nice flight! Looks like I've got to navigate from terminal 2e (not sure which 'zone' yet) across to 2f, so it's going to be bloody tight having to pass through security too!

Be aware it’s a tricky switch with the time you have: https://easycdg.com/

The goodish news is that even if things go tits up, the TGV to Marseille at 8:27 connects you to Nice by mid afternoon, in plenty of time for the game (and not dry!).

It may be a tad difficult to catch 8.27 TGV to Marseille if on a 6am flight from here.

My bad, assumed 6am was arrival. Have to go to Paris then, Gare de Lyon, 10:10 or 10:38, the latter connects in to Monaco at 6:15! Last orders!

I wasn't aware of any bother in Lille

Massive game given the current Champions League standings.  A win, no matter how fortunate, would be a great result.

Friend of mine is currently in Monaco, he and his friends went into a hotel for a drink - 17 euros for a pint

Made it with 15mins to spare. Currently waiting at gate for flight to Nice! Come on you villa boys!! 💪🏼 UTV

[Drummond]

That's a result. Get a beer on the plane!

I'd have thought they serve litres?

If it’s 17€ a pint then you’re looking at, what, about 32€ a litre. I think I’d just stick to the pints otherwise rounds would be prohibitively expensive

Waiting on tarmac at Frankfurt, flight delayed as Zurich airport has reduced landing capacity due to fog🤦🏾

That seems cheap 😳

Massive game financially too , a win and we are effectively through meaning a huge chunk of income confirmed .

Neither was I, but they're not wrong about the heavy alcohol consumption, multiple bars ran out of beer!
