    Charter Flight?

    Been holding off booking flights for next week until we seen what the deal was with the official club charter. Can't believe it's still not been announced yet..?!
    I know there's to be two deals, one with hotel and one without, but is anyone else holding off to see how much the club packages are before booking?

    We've got two alternate routes in mind and the prices are reasonable, but most of my mates would rather go direct. Could be a last minute dash for flights and accommodation at this rate...

    Cannie wait though

    Maybe Hibs waiting to see how many seats they’ll need to keep free for new players 👀

    haven't seen anything, but I used kiwi.com for my flights. good options and have a "lay over guarantee" where if you're first flight is delayed, or your connecting flight is cancelled they guarantee to get you to destination/home without any extra cost.

    Return routes on there vary between £310-£390 depending on how long you want to travel for.


    I'm Edinburgh - Cephalonia (Jet2), Cephalonia - Athens (Olympic Air) , then Athens-Poznan-Edinburgh(both Ryanair) . Think theres a couple of us on the Cephalonia-Athens flight, as a connection from Manchester and Edinburgh. Worth looking at

    Understand that Hibs were waiting on confirmation as to the size of the plane so they knew how many seats were available.

    There is a new airline called Cobalt Aero (old Air Cyprus that went bust and is now owned by Russians) that sometimes has good deals from London to Athens. Not perfect but maybe an alternative.

    They're taking their time. There's a bit to do to get organised if I'm going to make this one.

    I’ve made the decision to book on the charter but wouldn’t mind getting some firm details so I can organize my week. Presuming the details will be out before 5pm?

    I got an email like I suppose the other films on the Faroes charter did, on Sunday, to say that two packages were being looked at. With or without accommodation.
    Then another text yesterday to say something out today.
    As yet, no details, no flight times, no costs. Wee bit crap in my humblest.

    Assuming it’s going to be Wednesday to Friday?

    Some timings would definitely be welcome. Happy to pay more for less hassle but it’s getting pretty close now.

    It’s priced ok, direct flights to and from Edinburgh and the accommodation is only £75 a night. But official charters flying with the team are not aimed at the ordinary working class fan. If you can afford it and want to travel with the team it’s available if not spend your hard earned getting planes, trains and automobiles to get to the game

    Patronising bollox. The Faroes flight was full of largely ordinary working class fans.

    And this is, judging by previous posts, is where many fans have nostalgic memories of crazy trips, shenanigans and much hilarity.

    Totally agree. I'm an ordinary guy who is taking an opportunity to follow my team in Europe. And to do it with my Dad. These opportunities come around rarely these days so will grasp the chance.

    The Faroe Islands flight was full of ordinary guys and the chat and banter was different class.

    Yes it’s a lot of money, but the real cost is the plane will be flying empty 2 ways, dependent on where it’s coming from, so will be a big cost of the overall price of hiring it!

    It’s quite a decent length of time to be away, getting 3 full days and transfers. That’s if you can afford it though
