    Athens-Milan-Stansted-Edinburgh on Fri 3rd - £180
    That's not bad is it? Glasgow / Edinburgh is good at least. ***** looking trip back though. You on one of the buses back to Athens on Thursday night?

    Yeah booked on the bus. There were other options that made it a bit cheaper but meant an 08.30 flight from Athens which was quickly ruled out

    There's no doubt that the Hibs are already thinking about a charter. And those on the Faroes charter will surely hear about it, maybe even first dabs. Doubt very much it will involve Athens though.
    Imagine Hibs will offer something charter wise.

    Not sure where they would put folk up though, given the shortage of hotels in Tripolis. Getting a block booking, just for themselves might be difficult enough in terms of being relatively close.

    Of course they could look at an in/out on the same day option.

    They're not putting any of us up in the Faroes for the deal, only return coach transfers from and to the Airport. Time will tell, but given the proximity, it won't take long to find out I don't think.

    I know that but think the Faroes is a different case.

    I can see why folk would take the flight only charter option to Faroes with it being less accessible than Greece. Not sure we’d fill a plane to Greece on a flight only option when you could get flights cheaper independently. An in/out option on the same day would be popular, as would something that included accommodation etc. Just not so sure if it was flight only but i might be wrong!

    And getting back and forward to and from your UK airports. Even with your freebies it looks knackering.

    Train from Edinburgh to Manchester and train from London To Edinburgh, plus 4 flights, yes I'll be totally knackered but hopefully worth it.

    BHFC, I can’t see Hibs running a Fans only charter, with or without accommodation. I presume they’ll also need a bigger plane than their using to the Faroes, longer distance will need more fuel, although I don’t which type of aircraft they are using. So hopefully more seats available than on the Faroes charter

    I’m presuming Hibs will try and fly into the airport, more local than Athens
    Hopefully hear more, after Thursday nights qualification

    Yes, see you there. I looked at that journey back via Wroclaw - London but when I went to book the prices had doubled so had to amend my plans and go via Bucharest.

    Accommodation around the district looks a bit easier than it was finding something in the Faroes and I reckon the club had their work cut out getting what they needed there for themselves. But it's guess work for now. There's some camel treks elsewhere in the thread that I'd rather avoid and we'll have a game on the Sunday to get back to.

    I see both angles. If there was a charter with direct flights and accommodation then absolutely I’d want to do that. Unfortunately, that kind of thing comes at a cost that I probably can’t afford. Or take the risk of waiting to find out with prices elsewhere increasing whilst I do so.

    Main thing is there are plenty ways of getting ther, whether it’s multiple flights or whatever.
