Can’t find anything on my confirmation - Anyone know when we will get this?
 
Does anyone know if it’s possible to phone up and pay extra to get exit seats etc?

I emailed to ask for a seat in the middle or back and they came back and said they’d pass requests onto the airline but can’t guarantee it
 
Following payment the confirmation said that coach times would be confirmed on the final itinerary which would be sent 7 days before departure
 
I normally go indy and this is my first time doing the official day trip. What's the sketch with taking a small hand luggage?

Do people take any hand luggage and leave it on the coach when at the match? Or is it generally a case of carry nothing and have everything on you?

Best just taking what you can carry. Buses are numbered usually upon arrival, but essentially some random local hire - so they won't guarantee if you leave anything valuable on board whilst away for the day.

I’m taking a backpack with like change of clothes, charger and stuff like that which I will leave on bus but anything valuable will be going into the stadium with me
 
On a side note..

Will there be a specific square/pub/area the majority of fans will be gathering during the day?

Just had this email back from them.

Thank you for your email.
We do send them 3-5 days before you travel, so hopefully you will receive this by the end of the week.
We are in the process of fulfilling the last few seats on the aircraft due to cancellations, once this is done we will send out your itinerary.

Thanks

It doesnt really make much difference to me but sending the itinerary out less than 5 days before we fly is extremely short notice.

Will both planes be landing in Porto around the same time?

I got the same email. I don't know why they can't just tell us the departure time ffs.
 
The itinerary mentions "do not leave any personal belongings on the coaches". Are there any regular day trippers on here? If so, is it normally ok to take a small bag with you to carry stuff like phone charger and other stuff and do you normally leave it on the coach?

To be honest mate I just take essentials in my pockets. Passport, cash, credit card (for emergencies only), ticket, phone. What else can you possibly need :))
 
Flight 1 coach 2. All going well it would be good if we left before 11pm on the way home.
