Can anyone recommend a 'reputable' site for searching flights? I haven't got a Scooby.
Ryanair via Dublin would get you from Birmingham International to East Midlands Airport the cheapest, I imagine.

Any Surrey Villains here? Unless I manage to get a ticket to the final (should we make it), I'll likely be in Pirbright that week. Is there any regular meeting spots for Villans down that way when you watch games?

Blimey didn't know about that. I am flying Wizzair BHX to Krakow and then Krakow to EMA.

I wouldn't risk flying through Dublin these days. Probably best if you look for flights to Istanbul elsewhere.

But we aren't playing Forest in Istanbul.

Got one on 4 aways.  All paid for by 14.01 - that was straightforward enough!

My flight from LHR with Turkish was £94 extra for cancelable, with checked luggage, priority boarding and servants.
The assigned butler has already arrived at my house to start washing. ironing and packing my outfits for the 3 days there.

Just as well given what happened when you ironed your own away shirt for Bologna

This is as far as I have ever gone in terms of risking the ire of the footballing gods but...  Given the amount of flight cancellations being announced I think I'm also going to look at cancellable flights and cross my fingers that we get past Forest.


In case anyone else finds it useful, here's a list of flights I compiled from BHX, EMA and LTN.  Outbound Monday to Wednesday, return Thursday to Saturday.  All prices are what Google Flights returned for one way and won't be what you'll pay for cancellable, return etc.




Outbound from LHR, LGW and STN.  There aren't any from LCY.




Inbound.





Allow about 2 hours to transfer from SAW to Taksim which is closer to the stadium.

* I have used AI to compile this and whilst I have made reasonable checks,  use at your own risk :)

I think the Flight cancellations will be for routes that are not busy, one way or another, the flights from the UK to Istanbul that week will be sold out
