Myself and a couple of other lads are going on Wednesday to Monday Turkish Airlines from Dublin stopping over at Istanbul for 1 hour then onto Tbilisi €260 return. Is anyone else going this route?

Not this time but I went this route the last couple of times we played there. It's definitely one of the better routes and Turkish are a very good airline. The one hour layover is very tight but I assume that each person's flights have been done as a single reservation, so even if you miss the connecting flight they will have to sort ye out.

Thanks for the heads up Paulie. My mate has booked us 3 altogether, just hoping everything is straight forward. Both flights are booked with Turkish airlines so if they delay a flight hopefully they will have to stand over us

Very handy. Didn't realise Georgian Airways flew Gatwick to Tbilisi direct, even if it is a red-eye flight.

There are night trains to Zurich from Vienna, which will save you on accommodation. €69 including a bed, which is a great deal, given the cost of hotels in Vienna. You should be able to book that about six months out, on oebb.at. Book the Zurich - Geneva ticket separately on sbb.ch and you should be able to get cheaper tickets for that leg. With the flight landing at six or so, you should be grand to book on the half nine night train, though there is also one at about eleven, and they both get to Zurich at the same time.

I have looked it up and can't find a mention of a bed. I even asked my friend who can speak German to see could he find it! Even the changes in trains aren't appearing to be seen, if needed. Could you send on a link or an explanation of how to use it if you don't mind? Thanks for your analysis so far, I have loved reading it. 


1) 180 days before you need the train, go to www.oebb.at
2) [top right, below "ticket buchen"] click "EN"
3) [top right] click "book ticket"
4) change the date to the date you want and 21:00, then click "done" [top right]
5) search from Vienna Central Station to Zurich Main Station
6) select either the 21:27 or 23:25 train (whichever suits better, or whichever is cheaper, probably the 21:27) by clicking on the price (should say "sparschiene nightjet ticket" and should be €29 or €39)
7) on the *next screen*, roll down to the section headed "night train", then you'll see three options (seat reservation, couchette or sleeper cabin) and, if you want a bed, click sleeper cabin - couchette is a bunk without a sheet or quilt (probably an extra €10 or €20), whereas sleeper cabin is a proper bed (probably an extra €40)
8) if you want a bed in your own cabin, click "change compartment type", otherwise you'll be in a three bed cabin, and you can select either a double (probably €10 extra again) or single cabin (probably an extra €70 over a triple cabin bed, so not worth it)
9) roll to the top again and click "add to basket"
10) pay - and your ticket should be delivered as a pdf

If you get the earlier one at €29, a bed in a triple should be €40, making it €69 total. You won't be able to book it until April, mind.

Then, I think it is two months out, book the Zurich to Geneva / Basel bit on sbb.ch to suit.

Yeah, once when booking you put in Dublin - Tbilisi as a single reservation you'll be fine. There's no real reason as to why you'd book 2 separate reservations, i.e. Dublin to Istanbul and Istanbul to Tbilisi, but I just thought I'd mention it as you never really know with people!

I looked at this route before I decided to book going through Paris with air france. Just worked it out that I'd spend more money in the long run with the stay in Athens etc and fact the air France flight lands at a decent hour (around 8pm) is a bonus

Not sure what aagean are like but most reviews online for Ukraine international airline are positive so should be alright with them

UIA are grand.  Have flown with them twice (Moldova away & the return leg of the last Georgia trip).  both times via Kiev.  no issues whatsoever and all flights were on time.

yeah the flight times were the big one. Land into Tblisi early morning but don’t mind that much tho. The flight times on the way to Switzerland are perfect tho as I land at 12:30 the day before the match in Switzerland so I can get a train to anywhere if needs be and can still enjoy the craic that night. Working out at €190 but just need flight back to Dublin then so not bad.

I'm flying to milan from kutaisi the day before the Switzerland game and spending the night their and onto wherever the game is next morning. Only in Switzerland night of the match but not too bothered about that as few extra days in Georgia where things will be much cheaper
