Haha, I didnt do that but by the same token I didnt go to sleep in Madrid, flew out the morning of the game and just went straight through until the flight the following lunchtime...the levels of fear and loathing (plus disappointment at losing) I had that morning at Madrid airport is not something Id really want to go through again, especially with six years now further on the clock. Its a young mans game.

Some potentially useful info for anyone looking for alternative routes in to Bilbao>>> - by Rob - 09 May 2025 11:53AM

I’ve always wondered, these convoluted routes..once you take in to account time, food, drink etc etc, do they work out significantly cheaper than just going direct? - by MarkP - 09 May 2025 12:00PM

plus however many spurs go, you can probably factor in double the amount of mancs making the same trips - by Oxon - 09 May 2025 12:03PM

Hopefully some good Manchester Airport content for us as well - by Dougal - 09 May 2025 12:11PM

Charter a yacht and sail into Bilbao marina, split the cost between say 8 for a decent size boat, probably cheaper and a little more classy :o) - by Jon - 09 May 2025 12:05PM

On the less classy side, people are saying just go to a brothel and pay for one of their rooms for a night as it’s probably cheaper - by Rob - 09 May 2025 12:11PM

I asked my mate who's got a decent sized boat, he said fuel is the issue, he does not have sails :( - by Oxon - 09 May 2025 12:10PM
