Cardiff: Rugby, Football and General Sport Flights & Charters

Just seen on twitter that Cardiff Blues have provisionally booked aircraft for supporters to Bilbao, they are looking to secure as much as possible seats and hotel rooms before putting the packages on sale.

Congratulations to Cardiff City FC on gaining promotion to the Premier League! Not a bad year for Cardiff sport! Should see a few more sports teams flights next year.

Congratulations to Cardiff City and to the manager who has done remarkably well with a side that no-one, including him, believes is one of the best two in the division. Next season will be full of interest to see if NW - I presume he will remain in charge although football club owners are a law unto themselves - continues in the Prem with a functional style of football rather than the free playing pattern of a Wolves or a Fulham.

Whatever he does they are there and as such must deserve to be. The city of Cardiff's profile will rise worldwide with the Premier League's international appeal. The Premier League is easily the most watched league in terms of tv audience of any sport around the world.

Definitely come at the right moment with Qatar starting up, fingers crossed Swansea stay up! I'd imagine Neil Warnock will be pramagtic, he knows the league and his main concern is staying up not the style of football. I wonder what the odds are of him lasting the whole season?

That's a short hop, too much money!

Some football clubs seem to fly everywhere. Isn't the 'record' Leicester City flying to Manchester from East Midlands for a match? If The Swans keep their Premier League place what would have been the chances of The Bluebirds flying to Swansea from Cardiff if Swansea Airport could take reasonably sized passenger aircraft?

Yep Bournemouth as well have flown in on several occasions and i know Arsenal used to fly to Norwich as well! I've no doubt Cardiff City will fly next season to Southampton and Bournemouth when they play them and i'm sure they would fly to Swansea if they could! I also think they'll be fast tracked through security as well for every trip.

With Huddersfield Town gaining a point tonight to make them safe from relegation it looks very likely that The Swans will be relegated. They have to win their last match on Sunday and hope that Southampton lose theirs and at the same time Swansea will have to somehow overcome Southampton's far better goal difference (nine goals). It looks next to impossible but you never know.
