    Champions League Final | Useful Information

    Yeah I'll be taking some cash for sure, but I'll also be using my card too, and I'm sure many other supporters will be doing the same. No idea how much I'll spend over the weekend and I don't wanna be stuck with a load of Lira coming home, so part cash part card suits me. Each to their own though.

    Champions League Final | Useful Information

    If no option then it should default to the local currency, which is what you want. Maybe worth clarifying before paying for goods via a card machine that you want to pay in Lira (just in case a worker/employee/owner has untoward intentions)

    Champions League Final | Useful Information

    When you say connecting flights.... Have you booked it as a through ticket that has a transit stop? Or is it 2 completely separate one way tickets? If it's the former, then you're automatically protected by the airline to get you to your final destination (their responsibility) If it's the...

    Champions League Final | Useful Information

    Worth just clarifying something on this point... If you're paying in a shop/bar/restaurant/wherever with a card, and it gives you the option to pay in local currency or in GBP, always accept the local currency as your bank will give you a much more pure exchange rate. However... If you're...

    Champions League Final | Istanbul Travel - Good to hear routes etc.

    You can fly Luton to Izmir for just over £100 one way with Sun Express, leaving 00.30 on the day of the final. Easy enough to get a cheap internal flight from Istanbul from there. Getting back is another matter...

    Champions League Final | Istanbul Travel - Good to hear routes etc.

    Posted yesterday, but for anyone looking for cheap as possible flights, you can still get returns into Izmir from Luton for around the £200 ish mark depending on what dates you depart/return. It's then an easy and cheap internal flight with Turkish Airlines from Izmir to suit your schedule...

The Sun Express return in the picture below is £230 The Turkish internal return in the other picture is £85 £315 for your flights, and then just a one night stay in Istanbul required...

    Champions League Final | Istanbul Travel - Good to hear routes etc.

    If people are still looking for a cost effective and particularly time effective (great for those who can't get much or any time off work) way to get to Istanbul.... Sun Express have a 00.30 - 06.20 flight to Izmir direct from Luton on Saturday 10th, for around £100 one way. Turkish have...

    Champions League Final | Istanbul Travel - Good to hear routes etc.

    Yeah, obviously if you're flying out on the Saturday then missing a connecting flight could be a disaster, but I imagine most fans are heading out earlier than that. If you do miss a connecting flight, then the airline has that responsibility to get you to your final destination. It doesn't...

    Champions League Final | Istanbul Travel - Good to hear routes etc.

    Just a couple of pointers from someone who works in the travel industry and has skimmed through the last 2 days of this thread.... Indirect flights; if it's a 'through' ticket then you don't need to worry too much about missing a connecting flight as the airline has an obligation to get you to...

    Champions League Final | Istanbul Travel - Good to hear routes etc.

    Sounds like quite a few have already done it or similar, but for those who have the time and the inclination, you can still get a very cheap weeks holiday in Turkey that will straddle the CL final weekend. When Pegasus want £940 and Easyjet over £800 just for a return flight for the CL final...

    James concerts

    Seeing them in Darlington this summer, supported by Editors, Maximo Park and The Pigeon Detectives. Ticket was only about £40 after all the fees, incred value for what is a perfect line up for my tastes. And I'm sure Darlington is a delightful place....

    Champions League Final | Istanbul Travel - Good to hear routes etc.

    Most flights are non-refundable tbf. As mentioned above, and it does depend on your insurance company/policy but if the FCO advised against travel to Turkey then you'd be in a good position to make a claim. If shit does kick off over there, but not enough to the extent of FCO advising against...

    Me and a mate doing Luton - Istanbul direct, Friday to Monday on Wizz (booked as soon as Wizz announced the route so only paid £90pp) Hotel reserved not too far from Sultanahmet area for the 3 nights. Pretty confident the final will remain in Turkey but not on the hook for hundreds of pounds...

    If anyone wants to swap this shite weather for some Greek sunshine, TUI have dumped the price of a load of Kefalonia holidays going next week. Not even £200pp for a week with flights (daytime), luggage, breakfast and transfers. Incredible prices given everything going on.
