Dont know where your checking the prices as the cheapest Direct is €329 while the route i booked is €160 dearer now.

My 1st flight Ryanair London standstead has droped by 80 euro now !!

Even if i was to book new could get out evening before for 10 euro no taxes
Only thing that seems to be on the up is the euro star prices,

Lads,

Another avenue worth exploring is the eurostar. My da got easyjet flights from belfast to gatwick then eurostar from london to paris for half nothing yesterday...well 160€ return all in...cannae beat it wi a big stick

[blobbyblob]

According to reports, between Ryanair and Aer lingus, it looks like were flying about 3,500 in direct on match day alone. I would say at least another 2,000 will come in the day before direct to Paris by air and then whatever you have travelling through the UK from Ireland, from the UK directly and from the continent.

The eurostar has been heaveing since Monday evening and prices continue to rise. 17 services daily and 558 seats on board. Its not inconceivable that another 3,000 could travel this way over the two days leading up to the match.

I think we will exceed 10,000 at this stage.

You aren't including hte london based lads there either. Everyone i know, which isn't many, but im an example as im sure others know too, are going via eurostar(thats about 15 in total who dont normally go to games), so lets say 100 others know those going via Eurostar in around the same amount thats 1500 people on the eurostar alone.

If what you are saying about direct flights is correct i can see us easily having 10k in the stadium(between all those scattered around the stadium with Froggie tickets etc)

Were flying from Dublin to Luton with Ryanair and then getting an Easyjet Flight from Luton to Paris. Arrives in Paris at 17.45 hope we have enough time to get to the game! All the flights cost €180! There are still some available as far as I know.

youre probably correct. CDG is quite close to the stadium i think

Stade de France Is enroute to the City Centre - Id say a third of the way between the Airport and City Centre at a guess.

If it's any help to anyone, you can get a return flight with bmibaby (flying into Paris tuesday morning, flying out thursday evening) from East Midlands for around £35 sterling.

I was looking into this for a friend in the area so I've no idea if the connections are convenient coming from Ireland, but it's a good deal if anyone can get a cheap flight to East Midlands on those days. Hope it's helpful to someone.

[brendy_éire]

For anyone going back with Easyjet on the Thursday morning to Liverpool, who got their flight moved, making the connection to Belfast a did tight, Ryanair have reduced their midday flight from Liverpool-Derry to £6, which will give ye enough time between flights.

junior it might be a little too late!

Yeah the final password would have been in yesterdays Sunday Times.

Also Im sure the trains that would be required are probably almost fully booked by now - but might be worth a check.
