ˇEuroCelta de nuevo por favor!

Freiburg CC >> Hamburg or Bremen

Basel, Stuttgart or Zurich are closest

haha, yes. I shouldn't have reached for Freiburg, a suburb in Hamburg.

Viktoria Plzeň CC >> Prague

Yes.  It'll take about an hour to an hour and a half.

Just guessing at travel to some of the less known places. Correct me if I am wrong:
Viktoria Plzeň CC >> Prague
Freiburg CC >> Hamburg or Bremen
Celta Vigo >> Porto? Nearest Spanish airport?
Go Ahead Eagles >> Amsterdam
Brann >> Bergen or ??

Airport in Vigo served by Ryanair but not every day. Santiago de Compostela has daily Ryanair flights - about an hour's drive to Vigo.

A few other possibles:
Braga are a cert - >>Porto
Genk are a cert - >> Eindhoven, Brussels
Midtjylland a cert - >> Aarhus
Ludogorets probable - >> Varna
Utrecht probable - >> Amsterdam
Malmo very likely - >> Copenhagen
FCSB likely - >> Bucharest
If Samsunspor get through - that is more of a challenge via Istanbul

So we could actually get Forest then?

Not in the group stage. Unless they’ve changed that rule.

I don't think they have entirely. I think they have mentioned countries with five or six teams in the same competition could be matched in the League stages but not for us in Europa. In the champs league 3 English teams are in pot 1 (along with two from Spain, two German, France and Italy), so if they do have to have an all English league tie it might be between them.
