As a tip when booking flights for weekend games, we suggest that you arrive early Saturday morning and depart last flight on Sunday.
When travelling to see Liverpool, Manchester United, Everton, Manchester City, Blackburn, Bolton or Wigan, obviously the airport that is closest is the favoured choice, but if the price is not within budget, consider flying to other airports. For example, if you are travelling to see Liverpool, the boat is a cheaper option with connecting trains from Holyhead, flying into Liverpool directly is another good option but only if the price is reasonable. If the flight price is exorbitant consider flying into Birmingham, Leeds, Manchester or Blackpool and getting a connecting train. All cities in the UK are well connected to each other with frequent train services. Check out www.nationalrail.co.uk for times and prices. Also check out our taxi service.

When travelling to London, you have a terrific choice of airports from Heathrow, Gatwick, Luton, Stansted and London City Airport, which all have excellent rail links into Central London. Remember if you are flying into Stansted that you will have to add the price of a return train journey into Central London on, approximately €45, plus also then the price of a London
Underground ticket, €9. The advantage of flying into Heathrow airport, provided the price is right is that you are straight into the London underground service, where you can buy an all day, all zones ticket for €9.

When travelling to see Sunderland or Newcastle, flying into Newcastle directly is ideal. Also try for flights into Durham Tees Valley. Other options also include Leeds or Edinburgh, where the train or hiring a car would be the best option.

When travelling to Barcelona, check out the prices from Ryanair, Aer Lingus and Click Air.
