Im not sure how many LFC fans travelling to Kiev would use Simon Calders Travel tip !

After substantial research The Independent has identified what appears to be the optimum strategy for a budget trip.

It begins with a road journey from Merseyside to Luton airport and a flight to a neighbouring country: Debrecen in north-east Hungary, where Liverpool played a Champions League match in 2009.

Flying out on the Thursday before the match, returning on Sunday, the fare from Luton to Hungary’s second city is £159 return on Wizz Air.

The outbound flight arrives in Debrecen late at night, but the airport is only two miles from the city centre, with plenty of good-value accommodation.

The following morning, a fast, cheap train (80 minutes, about £5) runs to Zahony on the Ukrainian border.

Touts outside the station offer transport across the border, but a much more economical option is to make the one-mile walk across town to the border checkpoint.

The frontier is defined by the Tisa river, but unusually pedestrians cannot walk across the bridge. Instead, Hungarian border guards advise travellers to hitch-hike, and will sometimes assist in securing lifts.

Fans should be able to arrive in the pretty Ukrainian frontier city of Uzhgorod in time for a good lunch and an exploration of this former Austro-Hungarian outpost.

The Pavljuk bus for Kiev departs at 6pm, taking 12 hours to reach Kiev, for a fare of around £20. Arrival should be at 6am in the capital on the day of the match. Resting rooms are available in the main railway station, which is also where baggage can be stored.

The Olympic Stadium is two miles from the station.

Coming back, fans will have about 80 minutes after the final whistle (assuming extra time is not played) to get from the stadium to the station. An overnight sleeper train departs at 10.51am. The excellent new Ukrainian Railways website shows plenty of room in the second-class sleeper section for just £7 one way

After a marathon 15-hour journey, the train arrives in Uzhgorod at 2.25pm on Sunday. At the station it is best to negotiate for a taxi across the Hungarian border, with the aim of reaching Zahony in time for the 4.13pm fast train back to Debrecen. Assuming it arrives punctually at 5.51pm then a 10-minute cab ride should deliver fans to the airport in good time for a pint before the flight to Luton.

Arrival at the Bedfordshire airport is scheduled for 9pm on Sunday, when the roads should be clear for a three-hour drive to Liverpool. Excluding the journey between Merseyside and Luton Airport, the total transport cost should be around £200.
 
Surprise suprise it includes a London airport!! I'm sure there are plenty of options available for fans from Liverpool and Manchester airports!

He seems very London oriented. The destination he mentioned from Luton using Wizz, I've never heard of, but anyway who in there right mind would want to do a journey like that for just a short period in Kiev. Plus there is the getting to Luton firstly. If you wanted to do something like that you can fly to Poland and Romania from Liverpool already, but i'm sure most will want to get on one of the direct charters. It was just a daft article.

Yeah if you are going to take a roundabout route it would be better to fly to somewhere Poland or Hungary from LPL or MAN and then fly to Kiev but most would take the direct charters put on by the club as i'd have thought that's one of the limited options to get tickets for the game as well.

It was really a meaningless article.
 
As somebody who doesn't follow "The Beautiful Game" would I be correct in thinking this charter relates to pre-season matches/training?

not 100 per cent sure, but it maybe a refugee flight. Not a very sociable time to arrive !!
 
In addition to the Royal Jordanian 787 which came in this Morning, there was a 787 divert from Manchester in the form of a Tui machine at around 0400.
 
Actually there are apparently 3 Lourdes charters , Maleth Aviation 737 AlbaStar 737 and a Regauld Aviation Embraer 145 . Also a Gainjet aircraft due in from BHX at 1300, possible sport related.

Heads Up!

i must be a lunatic. Friday 25th Sept will see me doing a daytrip that involves me leaving my flat in Manchester at 1am and not getting back home until after midnight. All because I'm doing a Loch Ness and Scottish Highlands trip.... out of Glasgow
For some weird reason, my days off work tend to involve being out of my flat by 5am and not getting back until 10pm. Back to work and the regular "fix" of 7.40am to 7.15pm hours
Heatwave Mk2 next week?
Some explosive weather build-ups currently in the North of England. What is it like where you are?
LBA: B737-300 G-GDFK empty down to Paris at 16:15 to operate the return LS268 back to Leeds 20:00 ETA where it will then operate the delayed LS265 to Malaga 20:40ETD
