Airports straight after the match

Post by stealdo » Tue Aug 07, 2018 12:48 pm

Will anyone be travelling straight from the ground to an airport?

Going to Istanbul Ataturk myself as my hotel is next to the airport before a 7:30 am flight to Greece.

Does anyone think the club will organise transport to the airports after the game in addition to a meeting point?

God knows. My flight is at 7am on Friday morning and I need to have an idea of best hotel options. One would guess the coaches will start and return to the same place but anything could happen tbh

2 flying back to sebiah gicken after game, not counting my chickens at transport being available from ground but if we go back to where the club hopefully drop us off there will be more options from there..

do your online check in, better no check in luggage with you. organize yourself a private transfer from ground to the airport. you can consult me if you need help with this. stadium is at a remote place far off city centre, you will be very lucky if you manage to find a taxi after th game.

Arrange to be picked up. Leave slighty early as they’ll be someone trying to nab said pick up.

You’ll be perfectly fine

Id just get on the 7.15

Get an hotel close to the airport. Have a good kip. All you’ll be doing anyway is sleeping on the plane, get back to tour holiday and kip. Probably feel better for it and enjoy the day/game more without the worry of missing a flight
