AthensSaint Posted April 14, 2014 Author Report Share Posted April 14, 2014 There is an Athens - Edinburgh direct (EasyJet) but plenty other connecting flights through a lot European airports. The direct flight is only thursdays and sundays so could be perfect for AthensSaint... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mike Posted April 14, 2014 Report Share Posted April 14, 2014 (edited) I'm coming from Finland. Saints have won every game I've been to since moving here, the most recent one involved a Stevie May hat-trick against Utd! Also, if you're into good omens, my trip is via Norway and Aberdeen.

AthensSaint Posted April 14, 2014 Author Report Share Posted April 14, 2014 (edited) Not too exotic, but London -> Edinburgh via Perth for a supporters' bus to Parkhead.... *looking for suggestions of good buses to get on. Jason, potential meet up in London for a few who cannot fly direct. Edited April 14, 2014 by AthensSaint Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cleveland-Saint Posted April 14, 2014 Report Share Posted April 14, 2014 I'll be flying in from Dallas, TX, direct to London, then train/plane in from there. Hotel is now booked for two nights in Glasgow, fri/sat. (Trying to get a couple of american mates to join me, had a few tonight and partially convinced them a scottish cup final should be on their bucket list).

Aggroblakh Posted April 14, 2014 Report Share Posted April 14, 2014 I'm strongly considering flying in from Vancouver. I've never been to Scotland, so I could make a vacation out of it. The only hiccup is that it's on the same weekend as a friend's wedding. I'm currently debating whether or not to bail on him, I'm not sure it would be very polite of me to do so :/ Kyle and AthensSaint 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dennistoun Saint Posted April 14, 2014 Report Share Posted April 14, 2014 Investigating flights from Seoul to Glasgow (via Dubai, Amsterdam or Paris). Fiancee may have objections to me spending close to ￡1000 on a trip to Scotland when we're trying to save for the wedding though.... 541ntees and AthensSaint 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Penang Saintee Posted April 14, 2014 Report Share Posted April 14, 2014 I'll be flying in, via Singapore then either London / Edinburgh / car or Manchester / car.Unbeaten record so far this season : Rosenborg (Away 1-0), Ross County (Home 4-0) & Hearts (Home 3-3, which should have been a comfortable win !)COYS ! 541ntees 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm currently debating whether or not to bail on him, I'm not sure it would be very polite of me to do so :/ Statistically speaking, your friend is more likely to get remarried, than Saints have of making another Scottish Cup Final. Got to be the final. Flying in from Helsinki on the Thursday. Brother, cancel your holiday! 541ntees, Mike and rammsteinally 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We may even win it. I would bail on my own wedding for this. (I'm not getting married before anyone asks - just saying).
