Yep did this a few weeks back for £50. Thought they might have gone up more by now. 

These flights have now rocketed to £140! Glad I took a risk (still is a risk that I lose that £50 mind!)

Hope a few others did too, to make it affordable

We're booking Liverpool tomorrow,  it's about £145. We're going no matter what. New country,  cheap beers, sunshine. What's not to like.

I’m torn whether to book it or not. How easy would it be to get refunded if we didn’t get there? At the moment I’d need to get a 04:40am train from Derby to get to Luton, working 12hr shifts Tuesday and Friday with nobody able to swap to make life a bit easier 🙈. If we don’t make it, I’d love to visit Tirana, just at a different time 🤣

We are living in the easiest time of our lives to get refunds. Just say you’ve got covid

Fun fact.  Tirana is only capital city in Europe without a train station.

Nicosia must be another, there’s no railway in Cyprus.

Booked Monday to thursday with Wizz from Luton. Two for £200

Accomodation £100 for 3 nights for 2 with breakfast and free cancellation

 

If we lose to \Roma might go anyway

Check out the separate topic on this very subject. There are quite a few Leicester who have booked Albania that will still go, even if we don't get past Roma.

Why put on a European cup final on at a stadium with 22k capacity!? Surely minimum of 40k. Reluctant to book now in case I wouldn’t get a ticket (Would make all STH bracket). Would love to travel regardless but work, wife, kids etc get in the way

That’s my position, I’ve booked flights and accommodation but hoping or praying it may get to members.. but as someone has said it’s minimal compared to the 22k capacity in doubtful even with the loyalty scheme that it will get passed the season ticket stage

I did see on Uefa website that you can apply directly through them for tickets for the UCL and UEL nothing on conference league as of yet assuming you’ll be able to apply through them to enter the ballot for final tickets though, worth a try if we get there for those who probably won’t get one through the club. (Although the ballot is probably just as hard if not harder to get a ticket)

[The Year Of The Fox]

(Minor) Schedule change to the Tirana flight 

 

Was worried then as Wizzair did me over on something separate before Covid. And it took me 6months and an ombudsman to get refunded

Just remember  if YOU cancel a flight you WONT get a refund.

If the airline cancels then YOU DO get a refund.

I guess it's firstly about breaking new ground and spreading the uefa influence and maybe as it's the first final they didn't know it would be a success and didn't want Bodo Vs bumfluff in an 80k stadium with 3000 watching!

Have a look on https://www.skyscanner.net/, can do cheap but make it a longer travel time

Wizz Air let you cancel and change for a fee.

Not free though is it.

The fees could outweigh the ticket price in some cases.

There was also Luton to Milan, Milan to Bari, Bari to Tirana. Was cheaper than what we went for but one change was enough.

[SchmalleyBoots]

I paid 6 quid per flight for wizz flex which lets me change it as many times as I want up to 3 hours before departure.

We can't even take 4k to Rome, which is one of the most easily accessible cities in the world. With the lack of easily available flights, cost of living crisis, and only 3 weeks between 2nd leg and final, everyone who wants a ticket will get one. As each day passes the flights get more and more expensive, which prices more people out.

 

Still have to beat Roma first though, very tough.
