I won't be able to head over for the semi final (wherever it may be
) but I said I'd look at some options for a friend so I thought I'd stick them up here. Obviously the prices will change over the course of the Clermont-Toulon match this afternoon.LYON
2 options here via a combination of Ryanair and Easyjet.
Sat 22nd April Dublin to Luton depart @ 8.15 arrive @ 9.30 cost €41
Luton to Lyon depart @ 17.30 arrive @ 20.15 cost €54 (make sure you've a few good books or movies to watch for that wait!)
Mon 24th April Lyon to Luton depart @ 14.50 arrive @ 15.30 cost €93
Luton to Dublin depart @ 20.05 arrive @ 21.25 cost €20
Total cost of all flights: €206
If you have somebody who can put you up on Friday night in London or don't mind spending a lovely night in Gatwick you can head out for slightly cheaper:
Friday 21st April Dublin to Gatwick depart @ 19:20 arrive @ 20:50 cost €34
Sat 22nd April Gatwick to Lyon depart @ 7.25 arrive @ 10.10 cost €39
Combined cost with flying home via Luton: €186
Flying into CDG and getting the TGV may be the much preferred option for some of you with more reasonable flight times and a lot less time in airports and that came in at approx €350
Nice
This is much simpler really
Sat 22nd April Dublin to Nice depart @ 17:20 arrive @ 20.55
Mon 24th April Nice to Bristol depart @ 16.25 arrive @ 17.35
Bristol to Dublin depart @ 21.10 arrive @ 22.10
Total cost: €182
This info was accurate at the time of typing. It WILL change during the course of the game. This is all based on the Semi Final being played on Sunday 23rd April. The vast majority of big european games are played on Sunday in France. This doesn't guarantee our game will be on a Sunday but it's an educated guess.
If anybody spots better ways/deals to get to Lyon in particular by all means throw them up on the thread.
