SPORT OPTIONS & SPORT AND MUSIC STATEMENT – 14TH MAY 2021

We would like to assure all supporters that have booked a trip to Porto for the Champions League Final that we are continuing to work with and await advice from the relevant authorities to ensure that the trip can go ahead.

There have been conflicting media reports and we do not wish to be involved in the speculation and we eagerly await the UK and Portuguese government directives and decisions and will feed back to you as soon as we have that information.

We continue to press ahead on the basis of a favourable outcome. Decisions were taken to move this game from Istanbul to Porto to accommodate fans from the UK to attend.

In the event that leisure / holiday travel ( along with pcr tests etc ) as we would all understand it is not allowed for UK travellers to Portugal over this period then we would of course give full refunds . We did this at the start of the pandemic .. for around 2,000 people ( fans of Glasgow Rangers , Wolves , Scotland will testify to this) .. within a few days of lockdown everyone was refunded .. no vouchers .. no credit notes .. just full refunds .

The Mayor of Porto Rui Moreira has already made his position clear " we are a safe city which loves soccer, which loves football , which loves sport, so welcome ALL " We also understand that the hotels , bars and restaurants are looking forward especially to those coming to the City for three days . So for the moment we will await the decision on the entry requirements for Portugal and go from there .

We ask for your continued patience and urge that we all await the official government positions.

Thanks

Spike and Miles

Itinerary

28th May
: We will depart from Manchester airport between 07:00-10:00 and arrive between 09:30-13:00 local time in Porto. Please note your confirmation e-mail will show 08:30 departure. This is an estimated time and confirmed flight time will be issued on your final itinerary.

29th May: You will have the whole day to enjoy Porto. Porto is a fantastic city with great local hospitality. You will need to make your own way to the FINAL!

30th May: After you have checked out of your chosen hotel you can make your way to the airport. We will depart Porto between 13:00-15:00 and arrive back into Manchester airport between 15:30-17:30 local time

PLEASE NOTE: If you wish to travel on the same flight and stay in the same hotel with friends please book all at once on the same booking. We will NOT be able to amend this later.

Other than the game being moved special conditions apply to this game. All bookings are non-refundable so think carefully before you book. You must be sure you are going.

Name Changes: Name changes will be permitted up until 3pm Saturday 22nd May at a cost of £50 per change. After this time name changes will NOT be possible. There will be no exceptions. Once you recieve your confirmation please check all names are correct.

Please note all times are subject to slot confirmation.

Please also note we cannot issue final itineraries and flight vouchers until slots are confirmed. With a big final and many aircraft going to the same place slots are often not confirmed until the week of the game.

COVID-19 Test Requirements
Exact entry requirements to Portugal for the period of this game are not yet clear. We expect it to become clear over the next few days. The information will doubtless become public knowledge but we will post updates here. You should allow for costs of testing which will likely be between £200-£300 depending on where you have the test and what becomes acceptable for arrival in Portugal. We expect to be able to update this information within a few days. For the time being we advise to wait until everything is 100% clear. There are NO REFUNDS so you must take out insurance to cover you in case you are tested POSITIVE at any stage before or during this trip.

Fingers crossed Tuesday goes well and the situation in Turkey improves so we can enjoy the trip
 
Highest daily death rate on record in Turkey. Strict lockdown in place. There are questions as to whether the game will be held there but without question there will be no supporters.

There could easily be supporters even if it’s held there. Tourists are still currently welcome and not subject to lockdown rules. Hope is the lockdown will continue to bring cases down by 17th May. Likely to be amber based on the new traffic light system

31% reduction in case numbers in the space of a week and that's before going into a lockdown.

Would be on the UK amber list as it stands (maybe green in 5 weeks time) and local authorities have told UEFA that at least 9k will be allowed in the ground
 
Hello Blues,

Certainly not taking anything for granted, and all to play for on Tuesday night but SHOULD we progress to the Champions League Final in Istanbul and fans are allowed to travel we DO intend to operate charter flights and trips as usual.

We have decided to prepare for a positive outcome and are in talks with our trusted airline and hotel partners.

Currently we are working on preperations for both day return flights and overnight stays departing from Manchester and London.

If you would like to register your interest and receive notification of any updates please email info@sportandmusic.co.uk

Come on City.

All the best,

Spike
