Overview
**Book this package by midnight on Thursday 24th May and be entered in to a prize draw to get it paid for. T&Cs apply**
The opening game of England’s finals campaign for European glory kicks off against the French in Donetsk. It should be a great game and potentially the highlight of group D.
This trip includes exclusive return charter flights direct to Donetsk from London Gatwick, transfers to and from the airport and match, 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
As an official England supporter you’ll have already arranged your ticket through UEFA, so there are no tickets included in this trip.
Flights and transfers
You’ll be flown out to Donetsk on the morning of the game with a plane full of other England fans. You’ll then be coached 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!
