Footy fans battle to find flights to Moscow

Those inspired to see the clash of the Premiership giants in Moscow could still bag a bargain when the Red Devils take on Chelsea in the first all England Champions League Final at the Luzhniki Stadium on 21st May. Manchester United may have won the Premiership, but there is still all to play for in Moscow, and fans are heading out in their masses as many airlines have experienced a huge demand for flights.

Direct flights are quickly selling out and standard non-direct flights are costing over £1000. Fans wanting to be a part of the action will have to be creative before taking their seat for the historic match.

Gareth Williams, co-founder and Chief Executive of Skyscanner, the world’s first flight search engine comments: “Over the last week, we have seen flight searches from the UK to Moscow rocket. We would strongly advise football fans to shop around to get their flights and bag the best deal.

“Our multihop search option combines flights from different low cost airlines with a single click, making that trip to Moscow even more of a reality, provided fans are prepared to take a slightly longer route to watch their team bring home the trophy.”
