Flights all stopped till Monday as things stand but the ash at the moment isn't moving anywhere.... and there could be more eruptions yet.
They are saying that there WILL BE a knock on possibly even effecting peoples bank holiday plans.
So if the the ash doesn't plss off very soon we could have problems getting to Germany. (I still wouldn't go by coach though)
Do you think UEFA would postpone the fixtures for a week.
IF the conditions effect US the fans does that mean the players have the same problems or do you think they would get priority some how when flights resume ?

UEFA should postpone the fixture if we can't fly to Germany.
UEFA are notorious for not caring about the fans If the team can get there they won't care about us.... I'm wondering if UEFA don't cancel. It could become the situation to be sure of getting there even the players have to go by coach....

Team could go by train and UEFA can kiss my change purse!
Nah i'm sure they'd have to cancel. Saying that i'm glad i haven't booked flights .
Liverpool are facing a similar problem and have an even longer way to go.
I bought a couple of tickets for a mate flying over from Belarus for the LFC-WHU match and his flight has been cancelled.
If they have to move the semis back a week, they're going to have to move the final - 6 days to get things sort, doubt even the Germans are that good, nevermind UEFA.
I can't see UEFA cancelling it ..
They'll have no choice but to postpone. It is not a simple case of getting train / coach travel these need to be booked days in advance at the moment to have an earthly chance of getting a place.
Not only the team but all the match officials, UEFA hangers on etc. There will be quite an impact, both to the Europa League and the Champions League.
Then again the ash will be gone and all flights will be back to normal on Wednesday.... so i keep telling myself.
If you have got a flight already booked then you are entitled to travel on that flight (providing that the flight is operating).
If your flight is cancelled because of the ash then you are entitled to a full refund or can delay your flight to the next available departure.
I wold be very surprised if the flights are affected on Wednesday but then that could be wishful thinking as I'm a travel agent and am currently besieged by people whose flights have been disrupted!
hurrah for the coach!
im sure flights won't be, but have got everything crossed for those who are travelling via air transport.
