You must have a different map to me  If you want, draw a line from Ireland to Portugal to Azerbaijan and you'll see it's like a triangle. We are slightly further away.  The earth is a globe, straight lines don’t work.

Azerbaijan are unlucky, distance wise. If they care

Back on topic, what's the fastest way to get to Azerbaijan?

No doubt FAI will want all away matches first so they can try and get home matches in front of crowds. Stephen Kenny will want the opposite so can try and get points on the board early in the campaign.

Or:    xRedmanLFCx wrote: VanBosch wrote: can’t wait for SuperDaves train trip to Azerbaijan Seconded.   Would have loved to have flown to Tehran and made my way up to Baku, but logistically probably impossible. From memory when I last went to Tbilisi and was considering Baku as an alternative option,  Turkish airlines were the main routes via Istanbul

Main problem with flights at the minute is there is only going to likely be what, 20% of the usual flight schedules on sale / available? Not that I will be booking anything straight away with what has gone on this year, but its always nice to get potential routes lined up.
