Planes, Trains And Automobiles - We're Going To Bilbao

[Legohamster]

I presume they’ll be listed at over 1k each like the other ones. Outrageous, really.

They only have one back to the UK on the 22nd so far - I cant see the classes yet - But I imagine you wont be wrong

They vueling?

The three Tuesday one are all £713 one way at the moment.

Airlines must love football fans...I'd be pulling planes in from everywhere is I could get the slots.

The Sport Options flight I was on to Madrid for the CL Final was delayed in taking off and then circled for ages before landing due to all the air traffic coming into Madrid.
Worth bearing in mind if flying out on the day of the final - the earlier the flight the better!

Helps when you are cancelling flights to India / Pakistan / Israel atm!

Ditto, I missed about 3 hours with my pals in the Fan Zone, saw my pals who flew over from Oz for about 10 mins
Was not best pleased

Train to France then drive looking like my best option.

I'm in East London so can get to Kings Cross in about 10 minutes.

Is there not an overnight ferry to bilbao?

There's one from Portsmouth, but it's two nights.

I live in Spain in Galicia, so it's a 4 to 5 hour drive for me to get to Bilbao. All I need to do now is suck up to my boss a little to give me the day off.

That's not a bad idea that

That's not a bad idea that

I’ve driven out of Bordeaux and the roads are great

 

[fernadez]

3 hours to Paris
2 hours to Bordeaux
4 hours to Bilbao

 

[Bedfordspurs]

3 hours to Paris
2 hours to Bordeaux
4 hours to Bilbao

And the train is the most comfortable way
We’re flying Luton to Majorca. 4 hour stop then odd to bilbao. Reverse on Thursday but 4 different airlines

Price wise, Eurostar to Paris trains are pretty cheap atm, plus multiple trains leaving everyday. Plus train travel is great

Hire a car, hire a decent one if you're going to be sharing costs...it's not much more if you're doing a 2-3 day hire.

Plus there's less chance of something fudging up. When your so up for going but also nervous about the whole occasion, control the controllable as best you can.

The on the day flights or the two flights option would worry me silly
