Hells bells , I tell you most on this flight from Luton will be Irish Fans
Got out of going to a wedding the day before the match so just booked flights Thursday until Monday night Ryanair to Luton and Monarch from there. Thanks for all the suggestions in Sofia for getting out of going to the wedding!
Hells bells , I tell you most on this flight from Luton will be Irish Fans
Flights booked - Going 3rd to 6th - Costing €450 inc Apartment
Flying Ryanair to Luton - Monarch to Larnaca
Flying Home British Airways to Heatrow - Aer Lingus home
I must say I am enjoying looking up all the flights looking for the right combination to suit me. Thankfully I found it today, it's just that hotels in the Nicosia area are very expensive!
Leaving Thursday back Sunday, havn't ran it by the others yet...........ones in Greece the others in Tunisia.
LESS OF THE BULL NOW!
You should reconsider staying in Nicosia, nothing really there apart from the game, the border wall and a big statue of Archbishop Mikarios . If you are flying to Larnaca, you would be better staying in Laranca, Ayia Napa, Protaras or even Limassol. There will be plenty of transport to and from the game from local bars in any of these places.Originally Posted by rambler14
Honest! I am not a secret Tim nor a closet Sham - I really am a Seagull.
I spent the whole day thinking about it. I ain't going staying in Nicosia. Ayia Napa or Larnaca i'd say!

Looks like alot of people are booked on the Monarch flight out of Luton on the 3rd, has there been indication on the amount of Irish traveling?
JT said on the other thread , between 2-3 thousand .
Got stung with a schedule change into Frankfurt on the thursday by Aer Lingus. Have had to buy Lufthansa flights to make the flight to Larnaca.
Anybody else in this boat?
I won't be able to book anything till Sunday.......feck sake!

Hi , we are flying to Frankfurt on the Thursday with Aerlingus, but have been told of no change, what flight were you on ?
Jesus hope its not same one
And yes its the same flight I just rang Aerlingus,Hi , we are flying to Frankfurt on the Thursday with Aerlingus, but have been told of no change, what flight were you on ?
Jesus hope its not same one
Nice of them to let me know , said they sent an email yesterday but i got nothing,
Anyhow thanks for you posting it upwe would of never been any the wiser.
We all got flights with Luftansa Dubin - Frankfurt and will make Cyprus Air to Larnica on the Thursday , Panic over but ended up paying out another €100
Ive not been to any away games in this campaign but from reading the various away game threads (I just cant help myself!) it would seem the days of booking early and using obscure routes to save costs has gone out the window. There seems to have been a huge number of flight cancellations / time changes etc.... for the various away games.
Perhaps its cheaper to wait these days......
I thought you were off the drink Ronnie?

Yep i agree with this !!
Is there many travelling from Frankfurt to Larnaca on the Thursday ??
Yes 8 of us were due to go with A Lingus to Frankfurt on Thurs morning at 0700 and then with Cyprus air to Larnaca Thur PM, now going Wed afternoon 1610 with A Lingus and doing an overnight in FRA.
No extra cost in chaging the A Lingus flight, got hotel in central Frankfurt beside train station for € 30 a head .
I intend heading to the match in Nicosia in September but obviously haven't booked anything yet. I have read thru the threads and gotten an idea of best way to get there but I would appreciate if someone could answer me the following questions.
The match kicks off at 9.30 local time, is it best to stay in Nicosia or base myself elsewhere, ie what is the nearest city/ town that I could get accomodation.
Is it best to fly out of London or is there a better easier city to fly out of. I plan heading over on the Friday and staying the week. I just need to know after the game where are most people heading to, are they staying in Nicosia or heading back to another city and if so how are they getting back to that city.
Any help I would appreciate it.
As far as I know, the vast majority of fans are basing themselves in Ayia Napa. The Irish pubs there run buses to and from the match on matchdays. It's approximately an hgour from Nic.
Staying in Nicosia is not advisable as there is little to do and it's not the nicest of places.
Not so sure about your best way to fly now.
We're heading thru Birmingham but since we booked those flights, they have rocketed up in price
San Marino are going to be a handful as the group goes on." - Steve Staunton reacts to performance against San Marino.
Cheers, I think I have a basis of how to get there and get back. One final question is the best way to get from Larnaca to Ayia Napa and what is the distance? Think I will arrive on Friday at 8.30 into Larnaca so might take your advice and head to Ayia otherwise I will have to stay 2 nights in Larnaca. Is Larnaca any better than Nicosia.
Havn't booked myself yet but I am doing my research and finding things very expensive so far.

I'm using this crowd from Larnaca airport. http://www.acropolis-transport.com/rates.html
Works out 15 quid a head to Napa for the 4 of us which isn't too bad considering it would be triple the cost if the same journey was taken here...
Larnaca is nice but quiet and little to do. Very few fans if any will stay there.
