Pity there seems to be no Italian flights this week.

Pity there seems to be no Italian flights this week.

A few might show up later in the week. I found flight radar and the CWL website to be slow at showing some flights.
Nothing on the scale of this weekend mind. It got me thinking about how great it would be if Cardiff became a city destination for folk abroad. In the same way we fly to Barcelona or Prague.

There never is when Italy are playing in Wales.

 

[MJC73]

To make up for it I am flying to Rome next season from Cardiff 🤣🤣

 

[Seasider]

Italian football fans very rarely travel to European away games unless it is a final.

 

[Em0866]

I was going to add to that I think that the majority of Italian fans tend to be those Italians who currently live in Wales or wider across certain parts of the UK.

Looks like the Finnish football team will be travelling using Buzz

I don't think that'll happen as the return is to Tallinn, Estonia. I suspect it's a some sort of slot filler incase Estonia beat Poland.

😕 Poland beat Estonia 5 - 1 yesterday.
