We asked you to tell us how you are travelling to Bilbao for the Europa Leauge final against Manchester United.
Here are some of your comments:
Kerry: Drive Midlands to London 20.05.25 (my birthday). Eurostar to Paris, metro to South Paris, train to Bordeaux, Flixbus Bordeaux to Bilbao arriving early hours 21st May. Then Bilbao to Santander (accommodation), Santander to Bilbao for the game.
John: Me and my sons are making it a road trip! Eurotunnel Monday after work (flights are impossible and a fortune), stay overnight in France and enjoy a drive down the Atlantic coast Tuesday and got an AirBnB booked for two nights in Bilbao.
John: Got flights a month ago for £80 return to Madrid from Birmingham. A car hire for £24 and two nights accommodation in Burgos (striking distance to Bilbao!) An underground car-park in the city for €20… and ticket sorted this morning.
Paul: Booked a flight from London via a seven hour stop over in Barcelona on the Tuesday night. Staying two nights in Bilbao and returning direct to London on Monday. Uefa need to change this process and consider moving finals where it is two teams from the same nation, but then why would they when the game is about money not fans?
Lewis: Starts with a late night flight from Gatwick to Milan on Tuesday. Leaving Milan for Madrid 6am the following morning then a coach to Bilbao to get there for 3ish. Then no sleep, back on the coach at 2am to Madrid and head back to Milan and onto Gatwick - should be home Thursday evening with trophy in tow!
Keef: Bus from Bristol - 30+ hours!
Darren: Three hour car Norwich-Portsmouth (Sun.18th) 30hr Ferry Portsmouth-Bilbao. Arrive Bilbao Tuesday 20th and find somewhere to get amongst it. Soak it up. Sleep it rough in car somewhere, then 30 hour Bilbao-Portsmouth (Sat. 24th). Arrive Portsmouth Sunday 25th - three hour drive back to Norwich.
