I'm not Dave, but Manchester is nearest or Liverpool for us. We left from Stanstead for Malmo or Bronby, cant remember which?

I'm thinking about a week in Zante might be better, could do with a holiday, not been away since Tenerife in May.

Can Hibs.net not organise a charter? Serious question?

There's only one Faroese airport (notoriously fogbound) - on the island of Vagur which is linked by sub-sea tunnel to Streymoy, where the game will be played. Or you can go by public helicopter within the isles. it you can go, don't miss it - stunningly beautiful place, brilliant people and very serious about their fitba. I've been three times and sorely vexed that I won't get the chance to go this time. It's no backwater despite being mid-Atlantic - standard of living is higher than here and place is Scandinavianly spotless. And, by the way - it's Faroe or Faroe Islands, not Faroes. There used to be a boat from Shetland (14 hour trip) and way back one from Scrabster but not now for either.

I suppose its possible but you'd need someone who has easy access to rental planes etc.

I made a discreet enquiry with a charter company, they wanted roughly £700 a head before factoring in the airport costs at Edi and in the Faroes. That was based on 75 passengers.

Does Sir Tom still have the kwik fit flyer? How many does that seat - could maybe do a few journeys? 🚁

I said in previous piece that game would be in Streymoy - I was assuming they'd move it to the stadium in Torshavn, which has been done for some previous games. But if they do decide to stay in Runavik it's in Eysturoy (linked to Streymoy by a short bridge). It's about 40 mins drive from Torshavn - slightly longer from the airport in Vagar. It's a very basic ground - totally open with a few bench seats.

they were 1 stop flights via Copenhagen from Manchester. Hotels are rammed so not gonna bother. £600+ for a tie that might be dead after the 1st leg...... Shame I fancied the visit but not at what they're asking for rooms and flights.

I have a mate in the travel business and has access to full charter planes. He is making enquiries 're costs etc. I will get back as soon as I find out any info.

Me too! He is based in Nigeria as all he is asking is £300 pound to be transferred to his account. He will send your tickets in the post.😋

***Hermit Crab*** · 20-06-2018 11:40 PM

My mate actually owns his own travel company and is used to organising this type of trip. As I said he is making enquiries as to costs etc. It would be a charter from Edinburgh to Faroes then back straight after game so no hotel costs.

Just stuck this on another thread but ICYMI this might be worth keeping tabs on.

I would imagine bsck same day at that cost its rather expensive to leave a charter plane in the airport think your charged hourly or so some have suggested in the past when talk about a charter plane was discussed on the Tartan Army forums
