Yeah, he was anyway not sure if still is. But he’s the one who said we shouldn’t say Typical City any more, the same Gary Cock who then referred to us as manchester united at a New York supporters club meetingNever will either. Gary Cock can fuck off
I'd pay £270-£300 if those flights were direct from Manchester, but judging from the other posts there's going to be too much downtime spent hanging around at airports, train stations and ferry ports, and before you know it, you've committed to 3 or 4 nights and spent £1000
More importantly I'm also hoping to do all the CL away games and that first fixture might be just a few weeks after the actual draw with zero chance of an official trip or cheap flights, albeit somebody will inevitably pretend that they only paid £39
If I'm going to pay way over the odds I'll save it for then.
Apologies as I was trying to make two different pointsThey are to Palermo and decent flight times
Thursday to Monday

Not disputing your post and if I lived near Edinburgh I would definitely go for it
However even the quicker trains are 4 hours away and that's before I allow extra time for reaching the airport at least 90 minutes before the flight
From Manchester (I'm only 20 minutes away in a taxi) it's a different story involving all manner of transport connections or hanging around at airports/ferry ports etc
I might still bite the bullet but it definitely won't be cheap
Mr Business Class JFK worried about a few piddling pounds?Apologies as I was trying to make two different points

You have done well there.Booked it as soon as game was announced. Never been to Sicily and always fancied it. £290 return with Lufthansa via Munich Fri - Mon. 3 nights Airbnb £400 for 2 bed apartment in the historic centre.
Definitely should meet up for a cheeky drink, are you staying in the centre?You have done well there.
I was later booking and tried for Fri to Sun but was expensive so doing Thurs to Sun, same route.
HahaMr Business Class JFK worried about a few piddling pounds?
Its not too bad, no pockets in shrouds. ;)
What you save on all that fannying, you spend on paracetamol.Haha
Price and value mate
The days of me kipping at airports just to save £30 have long since gone.
However I much prefer a 2 days and 2 nights trip.
Do it. It’ll be a great trip. Then do the CL games. They’ll also be great.

I learnt my lesson en route to Aris Salonika after saving £60 by getting an early flight to Geneva and having five hours to kill before my connecting flightWhat you save on all that fannying, you spend on paracetamol.
Couldn't agree more mate and as Tbilisi knows I've already done South Africa, Australia, and the USA in the last twelve months, plus Krakow,. Cologne Seville and all the CL games.Do it. It’ll be a great trip. Then do the CL games. They’ll also be great. You can regret it when you’re dead.
Ha ha ha.There you have it.I learnt my lesson en route to Aris Salonika after saving £60 by getting an early flight to Geneva and having five hours to kill before my connecting flight
Five hours later I'd spent £60 at the Airport bar.
Me too. I took my pension pot early and am whittling it away at an alarming but wonderfully enjoyable rate!Couldn't agree more mate and as Tbilisi knows I've already done South Africa, Australia, and the USA in the last twelve months, plus Krakow,. Cologne Seville and all the CL games.
Never mind saving up for a rainy day.
It's pissing down and I'm spending it now
Few of the lads I go to the match regularly with, decided to do the last PSG trip “old school” and organised their own coach. It was still stuck on the Boulevard Périphérique whilst my taxi pulled out of terminal 2.I learnt my lesson en route to Aris Salonika after saving £60 by getting an early flight to Geneva and having five hours to kill before my connecting flight
