I know a few people have booked flights. I'm not myseff at this moment in time.

I looked into Azerbaijan's home attendance and they didn't fill the 11000 seater stadium for any match in their last campaign. So as long as there's full capacity stadiums Ireland fans should get a ticket either way?

Bit early for the panic-ometer.  We're about 10 months away from a game that I'd say about 20 fans have booked for at the moment. Won't know for about 6 moths whether we can travel or where it will be on so best just leave it for now and wait

I know this is a very minor complaint in comparison with what's happening with this pandemic but I'm absolutely fed up with the fact we can't even look forward to a set date of when we can start attending one of the home and away matches. I even miss the long build up in the months and especially weeks prior to an away match on the travel and accommodation thread. 

I am glad though that I still booked my annual leave off in and around the matches this year, along with last year's Nations League. Even though we couldn't go anywhere it was still nice to look forward to a few days off in an around the Ireland game. 

Anyone else do the same and still book their annual leave off just encase we can get to Portugal in September and the other games in October and November?

Yeah your not the only one fed up with this at all. There is absolutely nothing to look forward or plan for at the minute in terms of away games or even a home game at this stage would be great. The planning and chat leading up to games bes absolutely brilliant. I’m still hoping there’s a chance of getting to the games but it’s dwindling by the day.

I miss everything about it as well - the chat on the travel threads on here, planning the trip, the flights, trains etc, the craic with other fans. Nowhere near the same watching on TV at home, especially when there's no fans in the stadium. Cry

Have a few days booked off for the Serbia match alright. Would've liked to have gone abroad for it (attending obviously is out of the question) and have a few days in a sunny spot.

Even seeing a blue sky yesterday morning was the highlight of my day LOL

For anyone that had taken the risk and book flights with lufthansa to Baku on the 7th Oct there has been a change on the outbound flight with a 1hr 30 stopover in Tbilisi of all places lol but thankfully there's a option for a refund.

7th Oct 2021 lufthansa Dublin / Frankfurt / Tbilisi  / Baku is now the outbound flight.

Flight to Baku cancelled by Lufthansa on the 7th Oct so full refund on its way. I will look at rebooking again in a couple of months once we know that we can definitely travel to Baku.

I checked Skyscanner there and the Friday 8th October flight is still going ahead so it's odd they cancelled that one and not a good omen Disapprove
