Chartered flights to Lisbon for EURO's 2004 finals

Post by flyinghigh »

Chartered flights for Greek football funs used (mostly ex ATH) Scandic's and Royal Jordanian's aircrafts as well as Aegean's (ex SKG).

The price for r/t same day was 880 - 950 euro (incl tickets for the game and transportation from/to apt). For the overnight add 150 euros pp. :(

You cannot call this a very cheap charter can you :roll:

But compared to the price of LH between BRU-FRA it's very hceap ;)

Well, when a r/t ticket SKG/ATH-FRA-SKG/ATH starts at 130 euros (plus tx) and a r/t ticket SKG/ATH-LIS-SKG/ATH is about 300 euros (plus tx)then a 800 euros charter tkt is MORE than expensive.

The Greek Ministry of transportation ordered the state run Olympic Airlines to add some extra flights for the semi finals and especially finals.

(By the way, today I heard in the news that tickets for the finals sold last minute in the black market for 900 euros !!!)
