ENGLAND'S victory over the Netherlands on Wednesday evening means that fans from all over the country are now trying to work out ways in which they can reach Berlin for the final on Sunday night. Extra flights were laid on for those desperate to reach the German capital, but they quickly sold out, despite some seats being £600-a-pop. British Airways put on two more flights from London to Berlin over the weekend after thousands of fans tried to book a trip to Germany in the wake of Ollie Watkins ' winning strike against the Dutch.
However, tickets for both were gone within hours, leaving others searching for alternative routes. The Mail reports that a flight from Manchester is still an option, but that ticket prices have surged from £187 to £622, a 233 per cent increase. Still, it could be seen as a price worth paying for anyone hopeful of seeing England claim their first trophy since Bobby Moore lifted the Jules Rimet back in 1966 after the Three Lions' only World Cup win.
Flights to alternative cities in Germany appear to no longer be an option either, with people even taking a chance on a last minute trip to Memmingen, a six-and-a-half-hour train journey away from Berlin. Ryanair's flights from London Stansted to the south German city are all sold out on the Friday and Saturday, while one landing on the Sunday arrives too late to get people to the ground in time. One option available to supporters is a flight to Eindhoven in the Netherlands, with Ryanair offering routes .
