Overview
It’s always a special occasion when you take on the hosts in a major tournament. The home crowds filling the streets. The sense of expectation hanging over the city. The stadium packed to capacity. And the knowledge that the eyes of the entire country will be on the Donbas Arena when you take your seat for England v Ukraine at UEFA EURO 2012™.
This package includes direct exclusive charter flights to Donetsk, transfers to and from the game and the services of a Thomson Sport host with a local representative for the duration of your trip. There will also be little matchday extras to make the day even more memorable.
Tickets
There are no tickets included in this trip. Take a look at our package that includes access to a ticket for the England v Ukraine game.
Flights and transfers
On the morning of the game you (and a plane full of other England fans) will fly direct to Donetsk from London Gatwick. As soon as you land you’ll be whisked across town into the city, where you'll have the opportunity to sample the local delicacies and beer, before being transported to the stadium in time for kick off. And when the final whistle blows, there will be plenty of time to celebrate another England victory on the coach transfer to the airport!
