KillkieBoab Posted June 26, 2019 Report Share Posted June 26, 2019 Agreed tonight that five us (possibly nine) will go on the KFC charter, if it happens. Who else? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gazza_Elgin Posted June 27, 2019 Report Share Posted June 27, 2019 Myself plus three others also looking at charter but assume club won’t mention anything until we have beaten Nomads. Would assume though the club must have a provisional booking in place just now. If there isn’t a charter or we can’t get seats it’ll be a case of paying for some last minute flights depending on what’s available. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wrangodog Posted June 27, 2019 Report Share Posted June 27, 2019 Can they not move this game to Novi Sad ? Looks way more interesting than boring Belgrade. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Squirrelhumper Posted June 27, 2019 Report Share Posted June 27, 2019 (edited) Celtic's charter was £680 for a day trip - I'd expect ours to be that at the very least. Journalists/media won't think twice at paying that kinda money so the clubs trying recoup some of the massive outlay on chartering the aircraft.

RDM Posted June 27, 2019 Report Share Posted June 27, 2019 The club charter to Reykjavik in 1999 was £400pp for flights and 1 nights digs, so aye expect it to be the cost SH mentioned above or possibly more! I’d be surprised if there is a specific charter flight for fans, I don’t think the demand is there to fill a 200 seat aircraft at the prices being talked about as most people intent on going will have already booked, and sourcing one plane will be hard enough during peak holiday season let alone two. I’d expect the team to fly out the morning before the game and back straight after it, on previous team flights, there were about 50 seats taken up by the club, a further 20 or so by the press and then the rest sold to supporters. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
killiehippo Posted June 27, 2019 Report Share Posted June 27, 2019 As stated above charter will be very expensive, best to look at getting to London and flying from there. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

killiehill95 Posted June 27, 2019 Report Share Posted June 27, 2019 We got flights from Heathrow for £180. Leaves Wednesday morning - arrives 6pm in Belgrade (4 hour stop over in Vienna). Leaves Belgrade friday at 6.30pm - arrives in London at 9pm (40 minute stop over in Vienna) We are getting the night bus down which fits perfectly with flight times only £25 return. So for return flights and busses it was only just £225 each. Goid deal if your on a budget. Though the travel to London will be a killer 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Strangalang Posted June 27, 2019 Report Share Posted June 27, 2019 Think me and the better half (if she gets the time off work) will be flying Glasgow Belgrade via Amsterdam Wednesday to Friday. Hopefully a good Killie rendezvous point will be set up so we're not all alone haha 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rossemenko Posted June 27, 2019 Report Share Posted June 27, 2019 By the sounds of things loads of people are going, which is great but here's hoping the 5% ticket allocation will be enough ! 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'd imagine if we can sell out initial 5% (if that is what we are given) which would be 1600 we'd be able to ask for more. Given Partizans average attendance last season was just under 5000 can't imagine too much of an issue. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wed night bus from Buchanan St. Same outward flight as you. Earlier flight back with same Vienna stopover as outbound and bus back again Friday evening. Costs look very similar. Hopefully will get some kip on the bus!!! 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
