Have been watching the price of a few flights today, creeping up throughout the day, airlines catching on even via Vienna

Booked a hotel for 2 nights only 83 quid right in the old town. Pretty decent price and very close to the main bars.
Wings? They're only the band The Beatles could have been.

No surprise, it was around 130 quid so a decent option for the day of the game. Still plenty of ways to get there

There is a route to Bosnia that you can fare lock now for 48 hours (so until after the draw on Friday) at a current fare of about €33, for a cost now of €3 per person (non-refundable if you don't confirm the flights). The expense required now is about €3, with €30 more if you confirm the flight on Friday, and about €17 more required in the event we actually win in Slovakia and have to travel to Bosnia (because you'll then need to book a €17 train journey).

That is, if we draw an away final against either Bosnia or Northern Ireland, and you don't mind spending €33 to book a flight to Bosnia that you won't use if we lose to Slovakia or end up in Belfast, but want a route booked to Bosnia now in case we do make it and end up playing there, you can book that for about €33 now, or fare lock for 48 hours for €3. If anyone is interested, let me know, and I'll pm you. I don't want to put it up for all to see, but I will share for those who are interested.

Yeah a lot of early departures from Stansted and Birmingham. Think Manchester was ok though.
time is the stuff that life is made of, don't waste it.

Another option is to hire a car and drive to Sarajevo. It's a 9 hour drive and a car will cost you €100 including one-way fee.

Few towns you can stop in on the way for an overnight stay to break up the journey too. Prices in those places will be dirt cheap.

There's an overnight bus too, as far as I'm aware, direct from Bratislava to Sarajevo, but it takes about 13 hours. Trains involve about four changes (Budapest, Zagreb, Slavonski Brod and Doboj) and a taxi ride for the Slavonski Brod to Doboj part, so I wouldn't recommend, plus it takes even longer.

I'd say I'll have to fork up for Abbey because ST and 2 aways isn't going to cut it I don't think. Not prepared to travel without a ticket.

Are people staying in Bratislava or Trnava if it’s in Trnava?
