What are you asking here?? who we got in the first round, or who we could possibly get in the 2nd round if we go through?

Does anyone have links to flights to an Albanian Airport? This team are situated right on the border with Montenegro. Could check about getting flights to there and then traveling down to the match? Any links would be appreciated.

Only one airport in Albania and its in the capital Tirania. Doubt there are flights from Ireland to it. Other routes have been posted on the main section.

jesus he is way off there. its only approx 30 miles. http://www.mapcrow.info/Distance_bet...gorica_YI.html

Well there is like a highway or train line direct from Tirana to Shkoder, only 54 miles.

Wouldn't have to cross a border either, still looking for cheaper flights.

That was a typo I meant to type 20 (and yeah I know that was wrong too but its still close enough...)

**Boo_Boy** · 22/06/2009, 12:05 PM

Looks like it.

Could be worse, and a bit of an adventure.

Fly to Podgorica via Vienna with Austrian Airlines. If there's enough of you, charter a bus to Shkoder. Just watch out for the massive lake.

Edit - sorry, Aer Lingus to Vienna, Austrian Airlines to Podgorica. Alternatively, Malev are great for Eastern European connections.
