If we make it - will airlines add additional flights?

[Live Forever]

As above, what’s the thoughts?

Seems to have been the case for Liverpools finals recently. Not sure re City Chelsea as was still Covid restricted.

 

[The Pontiac Bandit]

You would like to think so as they are guaranteed to fill them.

Not sure if they done it for the tims when they made the final?

 

[Bulletproof]

They will be a demand so if only makes sense for there to be a supply.

 

[SimonLeBon]

I'd like to think they would put on additional flights, it's whether Seville airport can handle a big increase?

 

[Shooders]

I'm sure airlines will add additional flights to airports that they all ready serve. Its easy money for them.

 

[WDYGH]

Yes, close thread.

 

[Blue Cat]

Yes.

 

[Carson1912]

Even additional flights to malaga etc old be good aswell

 

[PaxBritannica]

Yes. With jacked up prices.

 

[top_cat]

I'm going. F.uck knows how, but I'm there.

 

[Chas]

They are struggling with capacity as it is OP, I think it will be a tall order. I’ve got a meeting this week with a large aircraft leasing organisation, I will try and get further info and hopefully post it on here.

 

[Withambear]

Would have thought so

No matter who gets to the final the slots at Seville airport should have been reserved and aircraft booked

Just a matter of which airports they leave from

 

[Faure there’s not a team]

Depends on how many airspace slots are free too, I suppose.

 

[a_weir]

Yes but they won’t be Ryanair prices. Think CTM prices.

 

[GreigC]

Possibly

It wasn't that long ago that easyJet were still cancelling flights due to lack of crew

And that was before summer officially kicked in on May 1st

 

[True Blue]

Guessing much will depend on availability of ‘spare’ aircraft and crew.

 

[LoyalRanger86]

There will be a lot reserved and probably not even available yet until they find out what teams are in the final, I would think anyway

 

[Blue Cat]

A Liverpool fan bought a car for £40 get to the Champions League final. Jamie Carragher was offered a lift to London in it but he got the train instead.

 

[SimonLeBon]

I'm going. F.uck knows how, but I'm there.

Same here.
Not got a clue how I'm getting there or back home, but If the Gers are in the final I'll be there.

 

[Hoojar McKinney]

Beat Leipzig on Thursday and there'll be cunts quit their job on the spot and just start walking.

"Fuck it man, I'll buy masel a pedalo at Folkstone, nae bother...".

 

[Shooders]

Jerez is the closest airport to Seville. I thought the host city had to have two airports to keep rival fans apart. Jerez is just over a hour drive. I guess the authorities would have one set of fans arriving and Seville and the other at Jerez.

 

[Thor]

Do we reckon we’d take about 50/60,000 over if we reach the final?

 

[Souness’s Moustache]

Not sure, airlines in general are struggling to get crews for their own regular scheduled flights, never mind extra charter flights.

 

[Baloo72]

Do we reckon we’d take about 50/60,000 over if we reach the final?

Honestly I think you could double that

 

[AndyWebsterLoyal]

I'm going. F.uck knows how, but I'm there.

You’re on your way.
You’re on your way.
To Sevilla, you’re on your way.

How do you get there, you don’t know.
How do you get there, you don’t care.
All you know is that you are on your way.

 

[SimonLeBon]

We will take more than the Bheasts took that's for sure.

 

[RobbenHood]

There’ll be charters getting drafted in from mainland Europe if we get to seville

Need to get there first and then worry about it

 

[Carson1912]

We will take more than the Bheasts took that's for sure.

A new seville calculator lol

 

[Otto Bear]

There’s Malaga and Faro both within 2 hours for a start

 

[luckywhitefeather]

Q. For the airline / plane fans

Does Seville airport allow flights out after 10pm (so can do day trip? Have they maybe got special license for it due to Europa cup final and that was part of their bid to be host city / ground?

Nearest airport that would facilitate a day trip?

 

[Abacab]

Think I’m just gonna drive

 

[vicbex]

A Liverpool fan bought a car for £40 get next to the Champions League final. Jamie Carragher was offered a lift to London in it but he got the train instead.

You can see my house in the video.

 

[SimonLeBon]

How long would it take?

It appears to be open til 11pm local

 

[SimonLeBon]

Portsmouth to Santander by ferry. 33 hours oooft.

 

[BL1872]

I'm going. F.uck knows how, but I'm there.

Will swim there if I have to

 

[Bluetou]

Honestly I think you could double that

Was speaking to a West Ham fan last night in a boozer here in Albufeira, talked about an all British final and he says West Ham would take 50,000 to which i replied "well you'll be outnumbered 2 to 1 "

 

[The DazzleGer]

The Savilles had scores of day trip charters .
I think we will be shown no encouragement to go except those with tickets.
Off course folk will go anyway but perhaps flights etc will be tougher.

Yes my thoughts as well mate, the authorities will do everything in their power to minimise our numbers heading to Spain.

 

[luckywhitefeather]

Cheers, although not what I wanted to hear then
What about Jerez or any others nearby?

 

[Captain_Buns]

There will be a lot reserved and probably not even available yet until they find out what teams are in the final, I would think anyway

How do you reserve a flight when you don’t know where you’re going to be flying from?

 

[bluetonic]

You would like to think so as they are guaranteed to fill them.

I think they did, flight options in and out same day

 

[Speedbird1966]

I work for an airline, don’t hold your breath, the impact of the Pandemic has left the industry really struggling with not enough people and flights having to be cancelled on a daily basis.

 

[LoyalRanger86]

How do you reserve a flight when you don’t know where you’re going to be flying from?

I would think that there's something in place they've known for a while now that a game is happening there, maybe I'm wrong, just thought there would be

 

[Enclosure Blue]

I'm not so sure, some airlines are struggling for Crew, just look at the amount of daily cancellations with BA, Easyjey etc. My route, should we get there is Glasgow, Heathrow, Madrid, with BA (Then train from Madrid), my return flight from Madrid to Heathrow was cancelled last Friday, thankfully got rebooked on a later flight that day.

 

[The People]

Planes ,trains and automobiles

We will find a way to get there

 

[KensitasClub]

How long would it take?

We drove in 2009 left 11pn on Sunday night got ferry 10 Monday morning arrived Seville about 8am roughly Tuesday morning.
Coming back left straight after game Wednesday night got back around 8am Friday morning. Took us about 20-22 hrs from Calais to Seville and another 10 hrs to Dover. About 32 hrs roughly in total.

Regards buses from Glasgow last time can remember Kinning Park ran one.

 

[PMB1872]

They will be a demand so if only makes sense for there to be a supply.

It’s not as simple as having the planes. They need to have the staff too.

 

[PMB1872]

Also to all those folk thinking they’ll wait to book flights until their bet on us qualifying yields them a fortune, up to you. But realistically if West Ham qualify too it will be a nightmare getting flights from anywhere in the UK so you need to seriously consider whether that’s a gamble worth taking.

 

[jprfc]

Will swim there if I have to

Same here mate ( I can't swim by the way )
