At least all the usual Spanish charter airlines should be otherwise engaged that week. That leaves plenty of Latvian/Lithuanian/Bulgarian carriers. Bring on the all-white A320s !

4 additional flights from Ryanair is great news and should encourage more fans to stipulate LPL departures. Well done RYR.

Regarding 747's. Spanish Charter Company Wamos could bring one in, or an A330. They operate the ex Monarch A330's and a few 747's that were once Air Pulmantur

I guess Vueling are certainly involved. remember they have cancelled a rotation when the Euro finals are being played at Lyon.

Just looked at the LFC/Thomas Cook website. Although fans have only been told today that they have won the ballot, if there are 10 flights they are now sold out. Flights from Manchester are still available. WILL TC GET THE MESSAGE!!!

Unless the club do that, there is no reason for them to change. The issue lies firmly with LFC.

I'm not sure where you are getting info on Thomas Cook offering flights from MAN? Their club-related website clearly states flying from Liverpool, although this is showing as 'sold out'. As the club's official travel partner they should be mainly offering Liverpool departures though given the club's global fan base it's unrealistic to expect all fans to live in the City Region.
Also, whilst some fans will have only found out today if they have secured a ticket, I understood that season ticket holders who had attended the minimum number of league and European fixtures were almost guaranteed a ticket?

With only a week to go, it will not be that long until one or more members get sight of official airport or handling agent compiled charter lists and can pass on accurate data either directly onto the forum or via a moderator. Even then the list will evolve, with additions, changes and cancellations right up until the last return flight positions out.
What the moderators do not appreciate are short annoying "I might (or might not) know something you don't" style posts, hinting at something without any indication of whether it is wishful thinking, fact, rumour or simply fiction. The above post this morning regarding a British long-haul airline (VS = Virgin Atlantic) that rarely makes it aircraft available for short-haul charters give no indication if it is fact or wishful thinking, indeed the brief interesting information that the postee provides but then question marks is all somewhat confusing!
Patience, and from now on supportable fact on this thread, please - after all the event is only 7 days away!
