Baku for first Wales game

[Fatty Thornton]

We did Baku last month and went via Kiev (from Manchester), one stopover of around 5-6 hours both ways but saved a fair bit, think our return flights were £300 each. Me and one of the other lads who did it are doing just the Swiss game, and a similar route to those mentioned already. Doing Stansted to Istanbul overnight Thursday, then four hours in Istanbul, then onto Baku landing at 14:20. Leave Baku on Monday morning at 07:45 and land at Stansted 17:40 or thereabouts, slightly more at £380 return but not bad.

Are you sure the Stansted to Istanbul - Istanbul to Baku is four hours in Istanbul?

Just checked and it is nearer ten hours in Istanbul.

You can still get a flight from Kiev to Baku with Buta (who are the low cost arm of Azal Air) on 10th June for less than £100 with a hold bag. It leaves at 12.30. Problem is getting to Kiev to connect that flight. One possibility some friends were pondering was via LViv in the Ukraine. Buta announced that they had opened a twice weekly flight on Monday/Thursday starting in December but I can only see prices announced until the end of March. Ryanair/Wizz fly there direct on the 10th for about £60 so might be worth contacting Buta to see if a connection works and/or when fares are released.

Good luck. Baku's a good place to visit and cheap as chips (Euro 2020 mark-ups not withstanding) when you get there.

Just to make clear they are opening a Lviv to Baku route. Ryanair Wizz is UK to Lviv

Look at a cheap flight to Europe, then fly to Baku from there ...e.g. Berlin was £18 from Bristol when we booked 2 weeks ago.
