[Albion] How are you getting to Rome?

[BUTTERBALL]

Vueling from Gatwick 9.05 Weds, stopover in Barcelona, arrive 18:00 Rome. Back to Gatwick same route Fri, leave Rome 21.30, stopover Barcelona back 8.30 a.m. Not ideal but not too bad price wise and best I could do as Wizz and Easyjet both crashed at the checkout.

The blooming long way, via Copenhagen?

 

[Peacehaven Wild Kids]

As I’m probably sitting this one out, a) can someone get me one of these and b) do you think there’s any call for a “Palace are shit” version?

Day of fun in Rome on the Thurs (hopefully)

Ryanair Milan Malpensa to Stansted on Friday evening (only £27 each)

I’m hoping I can get tickets for the game now, as I’m not in tier 1. But if I can’t, I’ve only lost out on the cost of the flights, which isn’t much

Train strikes on Friday mate

Train strikes on Friday mate

One of my contacts in Milan has advised me that the Freccia Rosa trains between Roma Termini and Milano Centrale should be running OK on Friday. He therefore thinks that I shouldn’t have a problem getting from Rome to Milan, but getting from Milan to Malpensa Airport will be more difficult, with no buses or local trains running.

At the moment, I’m thinking as long as I can get to central Milan with plenty of time before my flight’s due to depart, at worse I can get a cab (albeit I expect these to be at a premium and consequently quite pricey).

If there aren’t any trains at all from Rome to Milan, then I’ll have to hire a car.

Luckily, my flight from Malpensa doesn’t depart until 10.40pm, so I should have time to sort something out, although I may not get the sightseeing time in Rome that I had hoped for.

Still searching. Was on easyJet the very second the draw happened and it threw me out at payment stage.

Clicked all the way through again as quickly as I could, only to get this.

I had 5 failed attempts with price increases each time. 6th time I thought I got tickets. Screen message saying all paid, email confirmation coming in a day or so. Didnt get one, had to pay more today and fly out Monday.
There is an option still to fly Gatwick to Paris to Rome, return the same route. Out Thursday and back Friday but decided on a longer trip as it was a bit risky although there is plenty of time between flights.

 

[GallodiMare]

By ship, of course.

From Sardinia Island, I mean

 

[East Staffs Gull]

Paris Beauvais to Rome on Thursday morning was £18 the last time I looked (Ryanair). Paris Beauvais is 2 hours drive from Calais.

I used Paris Beauvais for the Marseille game - was cheap and efficient
