Here's one that barely anyone seems to appreciate, and that's to not just look at flights, but to look at flight and (cheap) hotel combinations. Airlines issue what are called IT (Inclusive Tour) fares which are cheaper, but require an additional component in order to hide the value of the air fare (what it says on the ticket isn't the price).

So it really can benefit you to go and talk to a tour operator over there and see what they come up with. Even if you don't need the accommodation, because you just picks somewhere for £20 a hundred miles away and forget about it.

Otherwise it's the usual thing of looking at alternative routings via Europe or Iceland.

At this short notice? Next to no chance of getting cheap flights. Cheap-ER, maybe. But it's still going to cost you an arm and a leg. I went over to the Fulham game a few weeks back; booked the flight (Knock-Liverpool) around 3-4 weeks before the game, and it cost €68. Can't get a ticket for the West Ham game, but even if I could, the same flight booking today would cost me €262!

That's crazy prices, the cost of airfare is a joke
