I've never been caught out by Ryanair or wizz. It's just the experience with wizz has been awful in the past.

The first time I flew with them was coming home from the euros in Poland. For some reason there was a delay and they had us sitting on the plane at Warsaw chopin airport in 30 degree heat with the doors wide open. I had to get up after two hours and demand water. The first time I asked at the seat they refused!

Then a prick freaked out and demanded to be left get off the plane. For whatever reason they said this breached security protocols and all our hand luggage had to be searched again. Granted the prick wasn't wizz's fault but if they threw out some water then passengers might not have been so agitated. An absolute mare.

Back then their planes were old and tatty but they've since upgraded the fleet. Beware though if they there's slightest sniff that they can nab you for fee they will unless they're trying to get the plane off the ground as fast as possible.

With Wizzair i think it depends where you're flying from. I often use them to fly from Budapest and i don't get problems with them there (other than pretty frequent delays), but from places like Eindhoven and Warsaw they have been absolutely desperate to get everyone to put their bag in the sizer to see if it was even a centimetre too big.

For the Luton flight back from Kutaisi on the Sunday, I see Georgian Bus pick up time in Tbilisi is 9am 

Arriving at airports two hours before departure seems to be edging towards 3 hours before departure for some airports.

Anyone (Probably super Dave) an idea of trains down to Batumi and back to Kutaisi (Rhoni?)on the Friday which would give us a good 5/6 hours there? Also train from Rhoni to Gori day of the game (or the Sunday on way back), whats the earliest train to tblisi (or back to Rhoni)that would allow an hour or two in Gori. Looked on train website but struggling with Batumi train times.

There are some Kutaisi to Batumi trains apparently. There's a 17:00 train daily according to one part of the website.

There are also trains from Zestafoni: those from Tbilisi to Batumi seem to pass through Rioni without stopping.

There's a 10:02 daily from Rioni to Gori, so that probably helps.

Mess about with that.

If I had the time and money it would be worth it just to spend the evening in Molly's that Wednesday   .
