Looking at the images of Piestany Airport on Google maps, it looks as though its a planespotters paradise with an open air museum of old Migs and old helicopters and other fixed wing aircraft.

"Ticket office reckon about 700, they've already sold out an entire plane full (200) and are filling a second, and loads are making their own way there too."

Following Hull City's successful second leg fixture vs AS Trencin last night at the KC Stadium, they have progressed to the Play off round. (Final round of 2 legged fixtures before the group stages, which consist of 6 matches).

Today, Hull City were drawn against KSC Lokeren OV from Belgium. The 1st leg will be away in Belgium on Thursday 21 August while the return leg in Hull will be on Thursday 28 August 2014.

Sport Options are running a trip:

Full Details Coming Soon....

We are aiming to do a day return flight from Humberside to this fixture. The short flight time should mean that we get back to Humberside before midnight. Exact details, timings to follow.

Obviously, we are aware that it can be cheaper to go overland to this fixture via coach, car etc, however with a flight taking a little over an hour we hope that this will appeal to some.

We hope to be running overnight stays should Hull qualify for the group stage of the competition. During August it is difficult to chater aircraft and is even more difficult to be able to get one to stay overnight.

Sport Options update:

UPDATE - 12th AUGUST 15.30

We are now SOLD OUT and would like to thank everyone for showing an interest in this trip. Unfortunately this fixture has fallen during what is probably the busiest flying/aviation week of the year, August Bank Holiday period. It has therefore proved impossible to charter a second aircraft. Should this situation change we will post information here and contact people on our waiting list. We thank you for your understanding.
