Wow is it really ?

Was about to ask what points guess will be for Wembley

If its Portugal I'd look to go - might have a chance of ticket

Not sure if I'm gonna get money back for turkey though - what if the airline doesn't cancel the flights?

Who did you book with? If you booked with the airline there will be a degree of flexibility. You might not get your money back, but you can change the destination or dates. If you booked via a Skyscanner or another other OTA your screwed.

I work in that industry so PM me if you need any help.

Kiwi.com from sky scanner

It's pegasus and turk Airways anyway - will PM you nice one.

Finally got all money back from travel Republic, skyscanner etc for last year trips but all flights were cancelled. I'm not sure these will get cancelled?

No number for this kiwi - I've emailed but I asked for a refund. Didn't mention changing it as didn't want to give them an option plus those airlines won't fly to Portugal (?) And most of the cost will be direct with the airline?

Both Pegasus and Turkish will allow you to change dates and destinations for flights up to March 2022 but don't offer refunds.

I've not really dealt with Kiwi so can't say for certain how your request will go but the likes of Kiwi make their money by offering cheaper prices compared to the airline knowing that people will have to make changes and then charging them a premium for it.

If UEFA move it to Portugal then we should get Carl to make Greta to have a word with that chinless wonder in UEFA. Absolute nonsense in this Green and pleasant era .

Where is that little truanting Brat when you need her ?

If Portugal gets picked it's currently £165 to Porto and £188 to Lisbon. Both Friday-Monday flights from Manchester.

If anyone is feeling brave, Porto is with KLM who won't give you a refund but you can carry the credit forward for the rest of the year

Thanks I don't know what to do as can't get hold of kiwi. I'll probably book new ones if it gets confirmed.

No chance I'm booking before they confirm though. Not even said lisbon or porto. Probably a tactic for Bozo to drop quarantine.

According to the Beeb

"European football's governing body feels in Portugal it is going to be easier to gain access for sponsors and broadcasters, who would need to be compensated if they were unable to attend the game. "

what a load of complete and utter B*ll*cks.

You mean , freebees , all taxes waved etc , etc, Sponsors and Broadcasters ? who aren't based in London ? GMAFB.
