So now that most of us who went are either home or almost home, how did you travel to Seville and where from? There must be a few epic tales so would be interested to hear how we all got there.

I didn't have any delays or an epic distance to travel but i was up at 3am on Wednesday to get to Heathrow for the 6.20 flight to Madrid
Taxi from the airport to train station and then went to Seville via Cordoba and arrived at about 4pm, drop bag off at friends apartment then off to the game. D

Did the same journey in reverse after about 5 hours sleep and got home at 9 last night
 
Drive 3.5 hours from Glasgow to Liverpool, flight to Alicante.
Then a Drive 6 hours to Seville (stayed a few nights).

Did the journey in reverse next day after the game but flew back to Liverpool via Majorca, then the 3.5 hour drive back up to Glasgow.

All I could get at short notice when I got a ticket through UEFA!

Plenty Bears on this route too :)
 
First of all, a huge fucking well done to every single Bear who made the effort. Some of the routes were absolutely ridiculous and I hope to God that every single last Bear gets home safely.

We drove to Manchester then flew to Alicante. Drove to my mates place in Playa Flamenca. We got there and got to bed about 2am and got back up at 4.30am to set off for Seville on pretty much no sleep. 6 and a half hour drive to Seville, day in the sun, on to the game, then drove back to Playa Flamenca at about 7.30am - so it was a 27 hour shift on an hour or so of sleep the night before.

Back home now after a day chilling in Playa Flamenca yesterday, absolutely shattered but a brilliant experience.
 
Still on route. 4 easyjet flights. 3 delays. 1 expensive taxi to follow when I get to Edinburgh.

And mine was one of the more straightforward routes
 
Oh it was fucking tough especially getting in this morning.

My mate drove to Gatwick then flight to Malaga, 2 n a half hour bus journey then to Seville.

On way home 2 hour taxi drive straight from stadium to Malaga airport, 4 hour wait in airport to get flight to Paris which we just made the connection on to Gatwick, then a quick sleep at marriot at Gatwick airport then my mate stupidly drove up the road at 18:30, we stopped 5 times and with all the roadworks and m6 shut at one point we got home at back of 3 this morning, absolutely shattered.

Believe it or not the boy who drove us up is now back on it in the town at a birthday party at st judes :)):))
 
London to Faro day before game

Game day Faro to Seville and back to Faro at 2am

following day Faro to Lisbon and flight back to London took 12 hours in total

Everything went to plan fortunately
 
On Monday we flew Prestwick to Murcia stayed at my parents bit then flew from Alicante to Seville early Tuesday morning.

on the way back to we were getting a transfer form seville to faro in the early hours of Thursday morning and onto Bristol to drive home , however our transfer never turned up/cancelled on us we missed our flights from faro so had to hire a car from Seville drove 7 hours back to Murcia been Here since Thursday afternoon flight is tomorrow to Bristol hired another car and driving home.

One of our party went Thursday night to Valencia stayed a night there then onto Bristol the next day.

I’m absolutely exhausted.
 
Waiting for a wee case that BA "tagged" at the gate because the flight was full, yet there was loads of overhead space.

I'm going to miss my train now and that'll be another hour later getting home.

Ayr - Glasgow Buchanan St - Manchester Airport - Madrid 2 nights - Seville 2 nights

Seville - Madrid 1 night - Heathrow (10 hours) - Glasgow - eventually Ayr
 
Lucky living in London that I could just fly Luton - Malaga without worrying about any connecting flights or layovers etc.

Then travelled with the glassy buses from Malaga to Seville.

We only landed at Luton at 2.45am this morning and there were guys on that flight who were then having to get in the car and drive 6 and a bit hours up the road.
 
Rothesay ferry - Drive to Manchester- fly to Gibraltar- drive to Seville.
Return in reverse.
Left 6pm on Tuesday home 8pm on Thursday about 10 hours sleep in total over a 62 hour period.
Would do it all over again tomorrow
 
Sport options put our trip together

Glasgow Faro Huelva then match day Huelva to Seville and back to Huelva to the biggest fucking hotel!

Then Huelva Faro Glasgow and a taxi home.
 
Glasgow > Newcastle > Faro > Seville. Seville > Malaga > Manchester > Glasgow.

Absolutely gubbed today :))
 
Still sitting in Geneva airport after a fire earlier meant loads of flights were cancelled or delayed. Fortunately mine just delayed a couple of hours.
 
Our journey began Monday morning.

Houston - Newark - Lisbon - Faro.

Our flights from both Houston and Newark were delayed so we missed the train we had pre booked from Lisbon to Faro. We ended up ubering from Lisbon Airport to our Air BnB in Olhoa.

We travelled back from Faro to Lisbon on the 4pm train on Thursday afternoon and checked into the Star Inn hotel by Lisbon Airport for the night. Our flights home were;

Lisbon - Frankfurt - Houston.

Flight from Lisbon was 05:05 and was delayed which caused us to miss our connection to Houston. We were put on later flight which we’re currently still on and have about 2-1/2 hours to go.

My head is banging and I’m shattered but I would 100% do it all again. An unbelievable experience and it’s something I really want us to achieve and go one step better next time.

Good journey to Seville. Drove to Bristol Airport on Tuesday, only 45 mins from home. Flew Bristol - Faro. Hire car to Seville, 2 hours, great drive.

I’m still here and will be until Monday night, the first flight they can get me back to Bristol. As long as they keep paying for the hotel I’m good with this, it’s very nice actually.

Apart from the result and stadium experience, our trip could not have gone any better.

We had my pals 9 year old granddaughter with us, and we've created memories that will last long after we've gone.

The bears we met and interacted with, both in Seville and Malaga were an absolute credit to the club. Any German fans we met were also a credit to their club, and were very complimentary of Rangers and our fans.

10/10 - would follow follow again :))
 
Wednesday left Malaga at 7am to go to Fenguirola where we stood waiting on a bus that never appeared.

Train back to Malaga for an Uber that cost £200 and got us to Seville about 1ish.

Tuesday 07:05 - 09:30ish - arrived at Mahon Airport in Menorca. Roof top bar also packed with Rangers fans having a cracking time.

Tuesday 14:00ish - 15:00ish - flew from Menorca to Madrid, Madrid airport is humongous and has the biggest concentration of the most uphelpful people on earth. I’m sure part of the hiring process is a test to ensure you are prick to the general public.

Tuesday 20:00ish - 21:00ish - fly from Madrid to Seville, some buzz!

Tuesday 21:30 - find out our diggs have fallen through and we have no where to go.

Tuesday 21:31 - decide that the best way to solve this issue is to go to a pub and get pished again.

Tuesday 23:45 - get a hotel for 5, turns out to be great and a bargain for £275.

24 hours solid, finally get a kip and shower.
 
Glasgow-bristol-Madrid-Cordoba(night before game) -Seville for game then back to Cordoba for the night- Madrid yesterday morning for the day then back to Bristol last night spent the night there up the road late afternoon today. Flight up the road got delayed about an hour coming home from Bristol there.
 
Booked after the Braga home game so it was all pretty straight forward. Direct flights Edinburgh - Faro. Tue - Fri

Tuesday night in Faro, which was bouncing. We had booked onto a bus but, subsequently found out it wasn't leaving until 11.30 as they had to wait on guys arriving that morning. My brother's work mate was staying in Tavira and was driving so, we got the train to him for 3euro in the morning and arrived in Seville at 12.30.
Ended up just going back in the car too.

Other than the usual delays you face at airports our travel wasn't really much different to what I normally encounter. In fact it was a dream compared to my return from Leipzig. Feel for those who are massively out of pocket and/or were messed about.
 
Simple really. Left the house at 4am on Wednesday morning. Glasgow to Seville. Arrived at about 2pm in the city centre.

Arrived back at the airport at about 0130 on Thursday morning and left seville airport at about 5am.

Thu - drinking along the beach all day.

Fri - up at 3am to get sorted with a taxi to the airport for 4am. Flight from Malaga to Gatwick at 6am. Hung about Kings Cross for 3 hours waiting for the 1200 train back up to Edinburgh. Taxi back home, feeling burst but what a few days.
 
Flew Edinburgh - Marrakech - Seville. 8 hours in Marrakech, it was an experience but I wouldn't rush back!
