Finland Away 10th October

Anyone out via Gatwick with Norweigian on the Wednesday?

Got the Omena Lonnrotinkatu for €130 for 2 nights and it's very central. Pretty decent price.

Wings? They're only the band The Beatles could have been.

Think I might do the Gatwick to Helsinki route, is 90 minutes enough for connection at Gatwick?

If you have to change terminals then it probably wouldn’t be

yeah both are from South Terminal,I think it should be okay

Is it a connection though or 2 individual tickets ?

If its 2 do you not have to come out of arrivals and go back in again through departures and through security again, if thats the case 90 mins seems tight to me

You do indeed so I wouldn't be chancing it, and that's on a good day.

When I was connecting there en route to Athens last year, the 1st flight from Dublin was held back from departure for about 30 minutes due to ATC restrictions at all the London airports. As it turned out, the restrictions were still in place when the Athens flight was due to depart so it was also late, but on another day they could have been ended with the 2nd flight going on time. The only reason I was happy to book that route was that there were 3 hours between the flights (both South Terminal).

Basically, I'd be looking for at least a 2-hour connection at LGW, add on an extra 30 minutes if changing terminals, just to be on the safe side. Thumbs Up

The nation holds it's breath...YES, WE'RE THERE!!!

GTW - ATH 90 mins should be more than enough time to transfer unless you are hitting peak travel season and the security queues are bad but you cant really afford much of a delay on the inbound flight

Terminal to terminal is 10 mins max , 5 min wait , 5 minute monorail journey

ATH-GTW GTW- DUB - is more problematic as you need to go through UK border as well security and I wouldnt risk that tight a connection at 90 mins

Fast Pass is always an option though if security queues are long everybody buys one

Gtwick Security is generally on the ball , 5 mins max albeit on a thurs afternoon/evening

Grand stuff, it's from Shannon to Gatwick in the morning so I don't see that being delayed. I have two options anyway, this way or via Paris. But the first way gets me in earlier which would be ideal

not at all

I'm thinking about going to this one and turning it into a bit of a weekend break/holiday while we're at it.

Would tickets be difficult to get?

Bring plenty of money - outside of happy hours €9 pints minimum

Midweek game, Old Irish bar in Helsinki, same one we'd have been in when in Aarhus, €3.50 local beer all day and night midweek. Won't be as expensive a trip as you'd think.

But yeah if spending more than a 2/3 days it'll get expensive quickly

I am thinking this will be my most likely trip as well. Do ye see it being tough to get tickets for? Haven't been at an away in over 10 yrs I'd say

They finally did it man... They killed my f**kin' car...
