[Albion] How are you getting to Rome?

[Driver8]

Plenty of space here, and a McDonalds close by...

I’ve been to that McDonalds. Very strange menu but they do a double fillet of fish which was a bonus.

 

[Mr deez]

On the Vueling 9.20 am from LGW on Wednesday. Sure it will be lively!

Flight to Pisa for us from Stanstead on the Wednesday at noon

Stay in Pisa Wednesday night, saves rushing for train.

Train to Rome Thursday morning

Pick up tickets, and then game

Thursday night in rome

Train to Pisa on Friday

Flight back Friday afternoon

Originally booked flights to Rome but then got email , after paying, saying booking cancelled!

Absolute joke, although now it’s actually worked out better, the system is a farce.

Six of us on the same flights as you. But heading to Rome Wednesday evening.

See you on that flight. We are overnight in Pisa on Wednesday. Rome on Thursday and back to Stansted from Pisa on Friday

 

[Stumpy Tim]

On the Vueling 9.20am Thursday flight, and flying back Friday night. Can't wait

What time does the Costa bus set off from the Amex?

30 minutes after the full time whistle but it's leaving from Craven Cottage rather than the Amex

I meant the place for the buses! Was handy staying near Joilette in Marseille

I think people understand them but don't agree with them. Price advertised should be the price you pay at the till. It's criminal that they get to say "sorry, we've changed the price of that whilst you were jumping through the hoops of navigating pages upon pages of add-ons."

Its a bit like picking an album off the shelf in a record store priced at £30, and while you talk a stroll to the counter, 5 more people pick up the same album, and when you get to the till, the price is now £60.

I don't have a problem with the pricing, but the price should be the price when you hit the buy button, and the practice of throwing you out once you have entered a card number and hit pay should be outlawed.

Via the tele box I’m afraid
Ironically it’s easier and cheaper to go to the home game from Southern Spain, go figure

 

[LamieRobertson]

Sofa as per usual for Europa Cup away games ..might lock everyone else out, so i can concentrate fully on the game

Deserves it's own thread. Due to flight prices soaring I have opted to fly to Milan on Wednesday morning and get the train (3 hours) to Rome. I'm also flying from Milan Friday evening.

Similar... Milan on thursday though. Praying for a later KO and no delays. Going to be tight.

 

[drew]

LGW to Milan, train to Rome, two nights in the City of Love, train to Milan, flight back. £334.

5 of us have an apartment about a mile from the city centre. Should be fun.

 

[TheCheekyBlinder]

We’re also on the Weds morning 07:50 from LGW to Milan. Back the same way late Friday eve. £160pp

It’s the early kick off. 6:45 local time

Yes, thought about train to Rome same day but I’ve never been to Pisa before.

So Pisa Wednesday night and then train to Rome on game day.

Stay in Rome Thursday night

 

[tstanbur]

Same flight out as you to Milan but somehow managed to get a great price on a flight back from Rome to LGW on the Friday at 17:35. £130 total for both flights

 

[Stat Brother]

All you Milano's have forced us to go to via Venice.

£150 all in - happy days.

 

[Colonel Mustard]

that's really disgusting. I know supply demand yadda yadda economics, but on a pure human level disgusting.

That's contradictory. and a little naive. There's not really any such thing as "supply demand yadda yadda economics," Economics IS supply and demand. Why would a business like EasyJet sell flights for £40 each if there were suddenly far more potential customers than seats available? If you had an old banget that you decided to sell for £300 and someone told you that actually it's a rare special edition worth £3,000 would you do the 'human' thing and sell for £300 or take what the market was willing to give you? I suspect the latter!

Have about 90 mins to get to the ground from the main station then!

Out Tuesday morning from Gatwick, back Friday.
Got kicked out of Easyjet like others and had to rebook in a sweary panic of click click type click without thinking or checking.

Luckily we must have just won the fastest finger first (sorry @Bozza ), as we managed £40ish each leg, plus 2 seats together each way = £191 total. Must have been the last seats at that price - checked straight after getting the confirmation screen and prices had already shot up.

Not smug, just relieved - it's been a shit couple of months for me so it was nice to have something go right for a change. Sorry for those who weren't so lucky - flight pricing's crap for 'event' situations like this. Hope everyone who wants to go gets there somehow.

Now the booking stress is over it's finally sinking in. In just over ten days we'll be heading out for 3 nights in Rome. Always wanted to go there. And with Albion playing ROMA ffs. What a season.
