scoojy Posted July 23, 2012 Report Share Posted July 23, 2012 If you can, order from Travelex to pick up at most airports. Then email them and tell them the better rate you could have got from elsewhere and they'll refund you the difference. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steelmen Posted July 23, 2012 Report Share Posted July 23, 2012 What are folks plans for getting from the Airport to thier hotels at 3 in the morning? I have had a look and there is no trains until after 7 in the morning and a taxi is about £50+ euros Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Spiderpig Posted July 23, 2012 Report Share Posted July 23, 2012 Anybody who is going have any thoughts on a meeting point for the troops in Athens, Syntagma Square seems to be the main place in Athens, bound to be a good selection of bars around it, or tea and coffee shops if you are being sensible Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

milo Posted July 23, 2012 Report Share Posted July 23, 2012 I'm staying off this thread till after the game as it's making me jealous!! Good luck to everyone that's going and remember to stay in the shade! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jay Posted July 23, 2012 Report Share Posted July 23, 2012 Right, that's me involved. Flying out from Glasgow on the Sunday morning via Heathrow, gets to Athens at 5.40pm. Fly to Gatwick on the Thursday morning then ten hours before the flight back to Glasgow from Heathrow. No idea about the hotel, few lads already booked in it and there was already a spare bed so that's blagged! EDIT: In the Novotel Athenes. Looks a belter.

fat_tony Posted July 23, 2012 Report Share Posted July 23, 2012 Everything booked. Flying out of prestwick to crete then on to athens on the tuesday and back on the thursday via london. My friend booked the flight so I hope he has looked at the times of flights and not just booked the first one. Cant wait for this! Meet you there! Am booking 2 of us on the exact same flights out just now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Spiderpig Posted July 23, 2012 Report Share Posted July 23, 2012 Meet you there!

Heraklion airport is a good bit bigger and has a bar - but it's a pretty shit airport (Nikos Kazantzakis it's called). If you've got more than 3hrs your better off going into Iraklio itself. it's nice and is only a few miles from the airport Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bop Posted July 23, 2012 Report Share Posted July 23, 2012 5 tuns pub and kitchen - terminal 5 heathrow. Yass. I'm gonnae be there for about 4hrs on Sunday!

If you've got more than 3hrs your better off going into Iraklio itself. it's nice and is only a few miles from the airport It's Chania. According to the website it has "bars". Will do me just fine! Chania Airport Flying out Tuesday 7th at 06:55 from Prestwick. 4 hours or so in Chania then on to Athens, arriving at around 18:30. On the Thursday have booked onto Aegean to Heathrow at 13:30. Will split up there and make our own separate ways home. So far (not including getting home from London) looking at a total of £293 each. Not too shabby! Throw in 2 nights accommodation and travel back from London though and obviously that'll be a chunk more. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We are going back thursday on the 17:25 Aegean to Heathrow, there at 19;20 then its the 21:00 BA to Glasgow, £321 each plus Hotel yet to be booked, so should be just under £400 all in Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just looking at BA now and there's one to Edinburgh at 7pm so think I'll probably end up on that. Cannot. Frakkin. Wait. It'll be nice to have some fellow pasty looking Well fans to help while away the layover in Crete! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted July 23, 2012 Report Share Posted July 23, 2012 EDIT: In the Novotel Athenes. Looks a belter. Think that's were we're going, my old boy has a bunch of vouchers for Novotel, so might not actually have to pay anything for it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
swami Posted July 23, 2012 Report Share Posted July 23, 2012 Fuck it, going on the club charter. I had too much on at work to devote any time to getting a cheaper deal. It's sort of sunk me from making both (or the first two, depending on your optimism) away ties but there is a fair chance that nobody will ever see us in the Champion's League ever again. 650 notes seems a bit steep but you cannae take it with you and all that pish.
