Booked almost 12 months ago, after consultation with my wife! Which was "Its a win, win situation, If City get there we'll be quids in, if not, then were going on holiday to Istanbul, somewhere both of us have always wanted to go!! and somewhere big enough to NOT bump into the finalists (IF NOT CITY)"
Direct flights from Manchester to Istanbul, with Turkish Airlines, 7 nights in an appartment in Istanbul with a sea view

I assume there’s no better site than Sky Scanner to use for best prices?

Kayak?

I used Turkish Airlines for trips some years back and they were excellent. You were looked after.

Question blues if anyone can help. Flying out on Friday 9th via dalaman to Istanbul. 90 minute turn around at dalaman airport until the next flight takes off to Istanbul. Will I need to go through security/ customs at dalaman or will that only be necessary at my final destination of instabul and I will go straight through th3 transit gate at dalaman to my next flight?

Thanks

Expect Pegasus will add more, seem to be drip feeding them to keep price around that level. More indirect options starting to appear, you can do it for sub £500 which is still expensive. Not sure if one of us can have the Friday off so might end up with the expensive option.

Booked £1228 for 2 direct from Manchester with Pegasus , expensive but saves on Hotel and trains if arrive Sat 15.10 ( game 10pm local time )and home Sun morning 10.05 .

Depends if your booking is a connecting flight or a self transfer. If connecting then think you don’t have to go through security again

Does this discussion of alternative routes and options mean that folk are not optimistic about what the club will make available? Supposed to be announcing today but nothing on the site yet.

Don’t quote me but I’m sure I read somewhere that you couldn’t book the train in advance from Sofia to Istanbul? Although that was the overnight sleeper.

Meant to have to buy on the day, there is a guy on a website called discoverbyrail.com if you email him he buys them for you and drops them off at an hotel. Prices were £62.50 each way per person in a cabin with 2 beds, i'm guessing its cheaper if you did it yourself as he would add a fee on. You can also get a 4 cabin but they wasnt including a bed. Think they were £40 each way, if you need his email PM me i have the info and the price list as I looked at this route

What's the journey to and from SAW airport like? This is the route i'm looking at as well. It's 650 notes at the moment.
