I've been to Milan twice in the last year. It a reletively small airport and security/[assports were a breeze. You should make sure that Wizz and Ryan Air use the SAME TERMINAL? - as there are two in Milan - but I imagine that they do and if so, you should be fine.
How reliable are Wizz Air these days ? Tried booking Armenia twice and they cancelled or moved flights both times. Naively booked through them again a third time and still going ahead, touch wood. Doesn’t seem to be a great deal of low cost options to get there besides them but if you can avoid them I’d probably suggest it. |

How many tickets are we expecting for this gsme? I noticed that Scotland and Ireland only had 900 tickets for their recent games out there.
After the recent Latvia fiasco, I can see there being a lot of upset fans again, especially with Wonky taking out 500 fans on their charter flights.

Perhaps that's all that they both wanted, I've already booked our flights and I got nowhere near Latvia tickets so I'm hoping to get 2 for this one as its my eldests first away. |

I’d guess we won’t get more than Scotland and Ireland but I doubt the match will be as much in demand as Latvia. It’s a more difficult and expensive place to get to. And probably isn’t as appealing in a non football way. Not sure what you mean by Latvia fiasco? Does that mean a lot more fans wanted tickets than tickets available? And not sure what it’s got to do with Wonky? They just provide flights and accommodation. The more that travel on Wonky charter flights, the less demand there is on scheduled flights - better for those who want to travel that way. |

Vazgen Sargsyan Republican Stadium is a tiny stadium, right in the city centre - only about a mile from Republic Sq. Being played on a Saturday night, and the Armenians being football mad (totally unlike the Georgians!) I can really see us only getting the mandatory 900... I do agree, that demand for this one wll not be a lot more than the 1k mark - being an absolute pain to get to...

I think it was just commenting that with Wonky taking a lot out that suggests an increased demand for tickets. Good from a numbers perspective, not so good being further down the order to be able to get tickets. |

That was the point I was making. Normally with games like this fans are put off with the hassle of going to London and changing flights with long airport stopovers. I know its a bit pricey but Wonky have made the travel so much more convenient and '500' is a lot of fans, before you count the fans making their own way. Latvia fiasco is around the FAW (I know its not their fault), not getting any more tickets and there will now be literally hundreds of Welsh fans in the home end. Our group should all qualify for tickets, but if we don't its a long way to travel to watch the game in a pub. It will be a nervy time for fans who have not been away before waiting to see if it goes down to 'zero' aways. |

This trip will be my eldests first away and I am praying that I can get one for him, I'm sure because of the hassle of travelling (we are going on 6 flights for this one) I will get one but he has literally no chance, if I get one he will be going in with the boys I know and I will watch it in the pub, not perfect but he deserves it more than me. |

If 500 are travelling with Wonky that will probably be over half those attending. It really is an expensive ball ache to get to so many won’t be able to make it

It really is an expensive ball ache to get to so many won’t be able to make it I looked at it and for one person it was slightly cheaper than it was for two. The first 3 flights are going to be interesting, just hope that there aren't any cancellations or any hiccups like I had at bloody frankfurt for the Croatia game 😡 |

Wizz Air. Just found flights Gatwick - Milan - Yereven 16th November.
Then Yereven - Milan late on 19th Nov and Milan - Gatwick early on 20th Nov.
Cheap.
Are they reliable ? I don't want to book if they are likely to cancel.
Thanks on advance.

I noticed that there is a decent connecting flight via Paris Orley on Wednesday 15 Nov.
Dep BRISTOL 0700 on Easyjet for £28
80 minutes transfer time in Orly
Dep Orly at 1045 with TransAvia for €84 arrive YEREVAN 1835.
Transavia are a very decent KLM sister company. They actually still allow 56cm free cabin bags.
Easyjet now charges £23 extra for the larger cabin bags out of Bristol.
If you absolutely must travel on the Friday evening before the game, you can also do:
Easy jet Friday 17th at 1920 BRS to Orly arrive 2145 for £36, and
Saturday (match-day) Transavia for €84 De Orly 0740 arrive 1530 (2 hours before game - ko is 6pm local) - but please contact Lucy/Mathew first about ticket collection option at stadium...

Wizz air have cancelled my 6.15 flight on Thursday morning from Vienna to Yerevan. Put me on the Friday morning flight. Just as well I didn't book the connecting flight from London to Vienna. Looking at various options but they really are a pain in the arse as far as planning is concerned.

OH ;-( I have a bad feeling about my Sunday lunchtime flight back from Yerevan to Vienna now ... it no longer appears on their site... Wizz are ok about rebooking you, but i need to be in Venice by Monday lunchtime, so it looks like now I'll need to get myself switched to their midnight flight to Milan ;-(

Pretty sure Wizz have changed our flight times and just not told us which is not only frustrating but surely contravenes some law or regulation?
We originally had Venice to Yerevan on 17th at 15:15, getting in at 22:00. They’ve now moved that two hours earlier to 13:25. That actually works well for us but it’s frustrating they’re not telling us about schedule changes as if we were flying into Venice on the day we’d have been buggered most likely.
They’ve also moved our inbound flight to Vienna on 20th 15 mins forward. Not the end of the world but we have a 3 hour stopover in Vienna so could do without the gap getting smaller.
All in all an absolutely awful experience with Wizz and think I’ll be avoiding them at all costs in the future. This after two cancelled/rearranged flights so pretty nervy about flying with them already.

Still. All said and done, I'd rather be flying via a EU country to Armenia, than via Turkey.
My experience this Summer with a 7.5 hours delay with Pegasus was very miserable - hardly got a glass of water and a fun-size cheese bun ;-( They practically laughed when I asked about compensation ...

I got that dreaded email from Wizz today, shifting my Sunday lunchtime flight to Vienna to ... Saturday evening 2115 (so not really enough time to make it after the match) ... I think that I will stop second gussing Wizz and just wait until November, before making any more changes (I've already switched my flight with them from Milan to Venice and then to Vienna...).
One thing that I did today was BUY a throw-away EasyJet ticket from Milan Malpensa to Bristol for match-day morning 0740 - don't really fancy it at all, but I reckon between Vienna / Venice and Milan, at least one of these will connect - cost just €23 at the moment!

Looks like Wizz have also just canceled their routes from Prague and Vilnius ...
No press release, but the routes are now blanked out.
The Larnaca route looks very tempting, but I'd rather be in Italy with four options, than on an island with one...

Wizz have just cancelled my Gatwick to Venice and suggested a flight on the next day. Doesn't help with my Venice to Vilnius flight and the live chat agents reckon they won't change the second one for free. I thought you've said in the past that they were good for changing connecting flights manulike, do you or anyone know if that's changed? Or do I have to call them? |

They have always changed all sorts of routes for me. Even if they do have an alternative. However, you may wish to wait before you change, just so that they would have done all their changes ... Maybe call them circa end October? |

I've had the outward and inward flights from Vienna cancelled in the last couple of days. Never booked the to and from London bit as I didn't trust them to be honest. Rebooked out from Malpensa on Thursday afternoon and back to Rome on the Sunday afternoon. Now also booked the outward from Stansted with Ryanair 7.10 on Thursday morning and back from Rome to Gatwick for 19.40 on Sunday evening, again with Wizzair. 4.5 hr wait on the way over and 3 hour on the way back. Total cost £ 110 per head. Seems really good value but of course its largely risking wizzair again. We have got one of those membership things that gives you about £10 off each flight.

I still,haven’t booked. I was looking at Wizz air. But hearing of all their cancelled flights I won’t bother.
I can’t risk not getting there.
So am looking at other ways.

Does anyone think an hour is enough time to make a connection in Milan Malpensa? MAN 1150 MXP 1500 RyanAir MXP 1605 EVN 2315 Wizz I think that Malpensa - Yerevan flight is now leaving at 14.45 so they'll definitely miss it. |
