Yup airlines now cancelling flights to Kiev and possible no fly zone over whole of Ukraine airspace. Bit of a nightmare to get sorted

1.2. Visa exemption for cruise passengers worldwide If you are not a citizen of any of the countries that have visa exemption (and you don’t have a diplomatic passport and you are not part of the ship or aircraft crew), then you need to apply for a visa to Russia before departure, though there are some minor exceptions to this rule and some additional conditions that must be met, which I will explain: If you traveling in a cruise to St. Petersburg (or other Russian ports) If you are traveling by ferry from Helsinki, Tallinn and Stockholm (with a stop in Helsinki) to St. Petersburg with St. Peter Line company or from Lappeenranta to Saint Petersburg or Vyborg with the company Saimaa Travel.

I understand if you go via Finland then ferry across you do not need a visa.

This has Astana confirmed on UEFA web site. https://www.uefa.com/european-qualifiers/season=2020/matches/round=2001086/match=2026016/index.html

It really depends on what bank account you have. Some accounts give you a very good exchange rate when taking money out as against pre loaded cards. The only thing I owuld say is never use the Currency Exchanges at airports or hotels

Dont think the wife will like crashing on a sofa!

I think the maximum is 16 points now as I have 13 points and I missed Italy friendly in Malta (1 point) and also Mexico (2 points).

A lot of flights seem to arrive about 5am and check in time at hotels is normally about 2pm. I know people will say contact hotel but just wondered if anyone has encountered this before and whether they are used to this and check in is normally earlier or you end up having to pay for an extra night for the time you arrive.

if there is it will be a day in Istanbul!

still available on Skyscanner for £321.

One night in Athens on the way out and no long wait in Istanbul which is also great Outbound Depart Edinburgh Aegean Airlines 12:10 15th NOV ----- Arrive Athens 18:15 15th NOV Depart Athens Aegean Airlines 17:30 16th NOV ------ Arrive Tirana 17:50 16th NOV Inbound Depart Tirana Turkish Airlines 08:40 18th NOV ------ Arrive Istanbul 12:20 18th NOV Depart Istanbul Turkish Airlines 13:45 18th NOV ------ Arrive Edinburgh 15:25 18th NOV

For those that are out in Lima early it is the Champions League final on Saturday 26th which I think starts about 2pm local time. The only bar I know of is Molly’s Bar, 172 Calle Berlin, Miraflores where the buses are leaving from before the game. So if anyone wants to join me see you there unless anyone has organised anything else.
