Nice hotel in Thessaloniki too - Lazart. Biggest problem might be getting a ticket for the game as I have few loyalty points living in Leeds. Flight £73. Hotel £300 for three nights. Most likely straight public sale for away tickets Edited August 18, 2023 by Mikey1874 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PapaShango Posted August 18, 2023 Share Posted August 18, 2023 So Jet2 decided to cancel my flight from Rome to Manchester! No explanation, nothing, anyone else had this issue? Can't even get through on the phone. Now can't get a refund on my first connecting flight from Greece to Rome! Managed to book the last seat on a flight from Greece to Manchester but surely the airlines can't do that and leave you out of pocket? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Also a route back to Aberdeen is available but you're in Corfu for the whole day if you leave on the Friday. Thessaloniki to Dusseldorf on the Friday is £214, with a direct flight back to Edinburgh shortly after for £39 is also an option.

Stark contrast to the last round when I booked Rosenborg virtually minutes after they drew Crusaders and was left sweating for 2 weeks 😂 Flying out to Switzerland Wednesday morning then onto Greece on the Thursday and home on the Friday night with a few stops in Germany.
