[Say again s l o w l y]

I wonder why they were all off to Istanbul??... I reckon there'll be some sore heads on the way back!

Adola, Chill out.

[LTNman]

Surprised that Monarch had 5 spare aircraft to operate some of these services

[Navy_Adversary]

Actually, when adola first posted it was on the airports, route etc section, that possibly confused some people.

I note that most of the flights are 4/5 and 6 hours late arriving back in Liverpool.
This may be due to the supporters not being able to reach the Istanbul airports in time due to traffic congestion.
Maybe someone can provide more info.

[Right Way Up]

Me wonders if it was anything to do with traffic congestion. I reckon they'll still be finding scousers in Istanbul in the weeks to come. Well done the 'Pool!

[MAN777]

Well i am still here and i can comfirm that the place ýs stýll swarmýng wýth red shýrts. Carpet sellers are doiýng a roaring trade.
There has been severe traffic congestýon on the roads prior to and after the game. The LFC flýghts were from the aýrport on the asýa sýde whých ýs a býg trek to the termýnal.

I never managed to get a týcket for the game ýnstead watchýng the býg screen ýn Taksým square. I can honestly say (even though I am a Manc red) that the receptýon and behaviour of all concerned has been superb. well done LFC.

[BOAC]

Those Turkýsh keyboards are a real nuýsance, no, MAN777?:D :D

Well done the fans as well!

[RealFish]

It said on the radio this morning that because of the delays, supporters were being asigned to flights on the next available a/c seat by seat, rather than the flight designated on their tickets. The operation was rather like a bus service the Beeb said.

Surely not ? but then again I suppose 'fill up and go' was the only way to get flights and people on the move.

[tyrant]

Congrats to all you Liverpool fans, speaking as a Chelski fan, I'm glad you didn't beat us for nothing :)

What aircraft and airline did the team fly on to Istanbul??

[blackflyer]

The LFC team flew out on Titan 757 G-ZAPU and returned on 737 G-ZAPW.
