am I the only one to have noticed that our flight out to the alps clashes with the 2nd half of englands opening world cup game Crying or Very sad

and for all you alps veterans - wots the chances of finding bars to watch the other england group games in??? I know we failed miserable with the rugby last year so do we have any chance????

failing that do you reckon we can get them on world service or something?

Very Happy

what are the chances of them putting the match on, on the plane? do ryanair/easyjet whoever we are going with even have TV's on the plane?

a quick search says that simply no.....no "in flight entertainment". looks like you'll be restricted to the mobile to keep track of the score.......

Yes, we had the same problem 4 years ago - the match was at something like 7am and we had to set off to the alps then, when everyone else was coming in from the end of term party at 6am and then going straight to the footy. The van radio was crap and LW was appaling so we heard almost none of it. My thoughts are with you...

yes this proves I've been to the alps too many times and I feel old Sad

Englands potential second round match should we make it out of the group stages will be very soon after we land back to luton after the alps too....

When that happened the last time I was travelling in the good old rust bucket that was the Escort and had a portable TV with me...just had to keep asking Mr Wilson to keep his eyes on the road not the screen!
