Although the game doesn’t kick off until Saturday, many fans are already on the move. Seven coaches and three aeroplanes run by FCB Viatges have already set off for London. But most supporters, over 8,000, will be flying out on Saturday.
Airport bus for Sunday morning arrivals
In order to help fans arriving on flights arriving at terminals T1 and T2 during the early hours on
Sunday morning, the Aerobus service connecting Barcelona Airport with the city centre will be
opening at special times to offer a transfer service. At T1 the service will start at 3.55 and at
T2 at 4.00, which is the when the first flights are due to arrive. The buses will leave every 20
minutes and the trip will cost 5.30 euros or 9.15 euros depending on whether travelling one way or
return.
Many fans have preferred to set out early and make the most of weekend by enjoying some sightseeing
in the British capital, and trips arranged by the club’s own agent, FCB Viatges, are
especially popular. Nevertheless, most fans will fly out on the day of the match as they seek to
give the team the support they need on their re-conquest of Wembley.
Barça’s European weekend
Seven coaches have set off this morning from the Camp Nou forecourt on a 20 hour
journey. They are expected to arrive at Wembley Stadium on Saturday around lunchtime.
Meanwhile, almost 770 fans flew to London on Friday in three planes managed by FCB Viatges.
These fans will return on Sunday after spending the weekend in London.
Most fans fly on Saturday
Most of the trips won’t start until the morning of the match, with 8,000
people on 33 flights organised by FCB Viatges, one of which is leaving from Girona. These fans will
return to Barcelona or Girona straight after the match. 00.25 is the time when the flights are
scheduled to depart.
FCB presence at UEFA Champions Festival
Hyde Park has been the venue since last Saturday for the Champions Festival. Football
matches, clinics, leisure activities and exhibitions will fill the hours in the build-up to the
final. Barça fans can visit up until 17.00 on Saturday, although many have already been there to
enjoy the different entertainments on offer.
