Cowboy,
It was by both, came home a message on the answerphone from the guy at lastminute.com telling me the flight was changed and that he had emailed me all the details of the new timing for the flights
Not a happy camper
Sorry if this has been mentioned before, but what time is kick off for this game? Not going myself but want to know if I need to book some time of work. FAI website doesn't have a time but I wonder what time they normally kick off for midweek games?

Not a happy camperHe turned up at the airport to be told by CA that they didn't have a morning flight on a sunday!!! he had to pay £100 to go on the afternoon flight, he's still waiting for a refund!!! I would doublecheck with the airline schedule, make sure the flight is correct day/time etc.
I have travelled with them loads of times before and this is the first time I have had an issue with them
Help desk is closed at this stage but was wondering if anyone knows what my rights/options on this front are.
I was booked on the 08.55 from Gatwick on the 6th,connecting with the 12.30 Copenhagen to FAE flight.
I have now been switched to a 14.0 flight from Gatwick, not arriving in FAE until 20.15
The original flight is still available to book on lastminute.com and other providers, yet the email states that the airline has cancelled the flight. I am tempted to push them to give me an equivalent flight leaving London on the Sunday
Anyone know where I stand?
They are probably BSh!tting, maybe they overbooked on the morning flight and now they are bumping people off, i worked for an airline previously who did just that! It disgusted me the lies they told to customers. I do know that when u have a problem with LM.C, it is difficult to get through, they only have a tel number for making a booking, but no number to discuss your booking or complain, you have to email them and they get back to you, which is why my boyfriend is still waiting. I told him to call 'watchdog' but he couldn't be arsed
i think maribor, if that morning flight is still showing available, get onto them and demand that u be put back on it, they are obviously taking the p!ss
The top of the email I got is enclosed- the "next best flight" they speak of is obviously the 09.00 going via Billund!!!!!
I will be on the blower tomorrow to get it sorted!

We are on the 9am flight from Gatwick going via billund. It seems like a sound journey.
Everyone going from Gatwick, we will see you all in the departure lounge bar,Monday morning, mines a large vodka
I would imagine, the reason they gave you the flights they did was that you are still being routed through CPH.
If you ring them up and say that you need to be in the Faroes earlier, and ask for a reroute through BLL they should be able to do it. And of course, there is the old thing to do with travel companies, if it doesnt work, wait half an hour and ring again.

I am looking forward to this one alright. It should be a good laugh.
For anyone staying the week who just cope with missing the eL games on the weekend of the 12th, there is one top-flight Faroese league game on Saturday the 11th - NSÍ Runavík (on Eysturoy) versus TB Tvøroyri. So if anyone wants to bring a taste of the eL to the Faroese league...! There is a direct road connection to the Vagár, the airport island, so there shouldn't be any problem getting the Sunday morning flight (i.e. no relying on ferry connections) if the game's an evening kick-off. Or you can always take in a second division game!
No ive heard nothing about tickets yet. Someone said it was meant to be this week past that we would find out. The Fai may be slow, but even they can leave it much longer. As soon as i know anything I will post, and im sure everyone else will do the same. 7 weeks to go
Sorry if this has been posted before, but I thought it might be of use to anyway looking to make their own way from the Airport to Torshavn

Ah ha, ok, bit of an update. The lovely people at Vagar airport sent me this regarding the bus to Torshavn
As I cant drive, i think they will be retracting the offer of hiring a car pretty sharpishHello
The bus is holdin right outsight the airport terminal. It cost 100 dkk to
come to Tórshavn.
If you are interested you can rent at car here on the airport. Please

And now heidi's gang at squirrel ferries have sent me this, very informative guide
No more travel info from meDear Louise
Busses (blue Color www.ssl.fo) to Tórshavn are outside the airport upon arrival. The ticket price DKK 100,- from the airport to Tórshavn Bus Terminal at the harbour.
If you are accommodated in 1 of the hotels in Tórshavn there are smaller (white color) shuttle busses taking you directly to the hotels. However, the price is more then DKK 100 (most likely DKK 150).
If you go through the Customs (green area - if nothing to decleare) you just turn left right after coming through the customs and the busses are just outside.
Best Regards and a nice flight

ok, Ive clearly been very bored at work today. The FAI have just emailed me back regarding the tickets:
Louise,
All those who have applied for tickets for the above fixture, will be
notified by the ticket office late this week. We are currently sorting
through orders. Please note, that we will be unable to satisfy all
demand due to a very limited number of tickets for this fixture.
Kind Regards

Yep it looks like it. Probably just put myself to the bottom of the list by pestering them
Ah well Jews hill for me
Jaysus, your missus will go into labour if she reads this!
Have Boot Disk, will travel
I might keep that as my back up option after jews hill - Thanks all the same though
Likewise
Well she can rest assured I wont be sitting on anyones lap
If worse comes to it, I will be sat on Jews hill. Where ever I end up i will be having a good time - Well thats the plan anyway
If there's 300 people likely to be short tickets (1000 applications for 700 tickets apparently), then that hill could be rocking come kick-off! No stewards to take alcohol away either! It'll probably be heard inside the ground!
