Charter Flight to the Faroes

[HarpyHibby]

Is this something the club will explore? It’s been done for Tartan Army trips in the past.

Aye, about £800 a head...

[H18 SFR]

Perfect location for a charter in on the morning of the game and out straight after.

No hotels needed etc, in and out.

I would be interested in this depending on costs

[HarpyHibby]

I think the main costs are associated with the amount of time spent on the runway. A quick in out day trip might be affordable.

[Juniper Greens]

Direct flight from Edinburgh is about £166 there on match day. Need to come back via Copenhagen or stay until the Monday

[Daydreamer]

Thats what I was thinking but open to the idea of a charter flight there and back on the same day. Flight only 85 minutes.

[Kojock]

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.

[HibeeDaz6270]

Direct flight for £300 monday to monday if anyone fancies a weeks holiday
Direct fliight thursday to monday also similar. Although you dont get in until almost 4pm

[Northernhibee]

What date is it?

[Oscar T Grouch]

What date is it?

19th July

[calumhibee1]

What date is it?

19th July.

[Northernhibee]

Well up for that if it's same day.

[GloryGlory]

19th July.

Provisionally - still to be confirmed.

[calumhibee1]

Well up for that if it's same day.

A same day in and out would be of interest to me aswell depending on price.

Yep, I'm the same with that idea.

[Hibbyradge]

The club charter will be expensive.

I went with them to Budapest when we played Videoton in 1988. I think it was over £400 then although that did include a couple of night's accommodation.

That equates to over £1000 now.

[snooky]

Anybody going Lennon Airways?

Was just thinking the same! Just North of Orkney is it not......?

[Nakedmanoncrack]

Definitely interested in the in/out same day option, so hopefully there's a charter.

[ALF TUPPER]

Hibs Navy 👍😊

got a link ?

[Billy Whizz]

Between Shetland and Iceland

[Hermit Crab]

🤣


What? Did the Tartan Army not do that?

[delbert]

Hibs Navy 👍😊

Maybe the submarine from Argentina ‘78 is still available !!

[CropleyWasGod]

Is there a serious possibility of chartering a ferry?

A ferry from Aberdeen to Shetland takes about 12 hours.

So probably double that :greengrin

[Hibbyradge]

What? Did the Tartan Army not do that?

They tried to charter a submarine to Argentina. :agree:

Thats only 1 way.

That idea is dead in the water then.

Steady as you go, mate. That was almost a pun. :greengrin

[bod]

Is the game on the same island as the airport ?

That's a bit of a stern remark from you, CWG.

Been on the port already?

[CropleyWasGod]

Yeah.

I'll bow out of this one.

[PatHead]

Yeah.

I'll bow out of this one.

Always wondered if you were away with the ferries

[Hermit Crab]

Just wondering if theres a clash of matches? Are there not two teams from the faroes in the draw?

[H18 SFR]

Just wondering if theres a clash of matches? Are there not two teams from the fares in the draw?

If they progress through their first matches both will be away when we travel over.

[H18 SFR]

Is the game on the same island as the airport ?

I'm sure the airport is on a smaller island, not much there, not even Torshavn. Connected by a tunnel I recall.

[Moulin Yarns]

Was just thinking the same! Just North of Orkney is it not......?

half way between Shetland Islands an Iceland. Ferries got to the Faroe Islands from Denmark and Iceland.

[Hermit Crab]

If they progress through their first matches both will be away when we travel over.


So no chance of the game being shifted then. Thats good.

[blackpoolhibs]

That's a bit of a stern remark from you, CWG.

Wouldnt it be better from Hull?

[Moulin Yarns]

Is the game on the same island as the airport ?

The Faroe Islands are very well connected by bridges, causeways and tunnels.

[Billy Whizz]

Hibs might order a decent sized plane. Fly out on Wednesday morning, back after the game

At what cost though Billy, Its only a 90 minute flight.

[Pretty Boy]

There's a ferry from Denmark to the Faroes that leaves on the 17th and arrives on the 18th, return 20th-21st. €210 with 1 person in a dorm room and no vehicle. Edinburgh to Copenhagen flight starts at about £160.

Not going to work out any cheaper than flying time you add in accomodation and so on. Think I'll hedge my bets that we will get through and wait for the next round.

[blackpoolhibs]

Nobody has asked the most important question yet, how much is a pint on the Faroe islands?

[Speedy]

19th July

Do we know what time the game is?

[Pretty Boy]

Between 44 and 55 Krona. About £4.70 to £5.90.

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.

[Danderhall Hibs]

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.

[patch1875]

Make a holiday of it and join in some whale slaughtering.

Horrible people

[Wakeyhibee]

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.

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.😋

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.

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

On Facebook its hinted that Hibs are trying to charter an aircraft for this but I think it will be out on the Wednesday and right back after the match on Thursday, given the lack of accommodation and difficulty to get to this would cost upwards of £700 big ones given that Brondby was £750 for one night in a B + B.

Hibs will fly on Wednesday morning, and straight after the game as you say. Would suit me fine, but not at £750, unless I’m on the bench as well!

I hope so but that's not always the case. I went to book a flight to Poland for a family wedding and I waited and waited as the price climbed and climbed. It never came back down. All the Scottish guests were on the same plane and they had to fly on these flights. On other occasions the price halved...
