Arsenal and Chelsea fans face £1,400, two-day journey to Baku for Europa League final; ITV
Arsenal and Chelsea fans face an arduous 2,500 mile journey to watch the two London teams battle it out for the Europa League title in Baku. The clubs successfully navigated the semi-finals of the second-tier European competition last night, but fans are having to plan their route to the Azerbaijan capital, which sits on the coast of the Caspian Sea and is further east from London than Saudi Arabia’s Riyadh or Damascus in Syria. Gunners and Blues fans face a difficult journey trying to get to Baku, with no direct flights from London in the days leading up to the match, with the majority of trips taking between 10 and 14 hours. However, the trip east could take up to 58 hours if you drive – and that’s if there’s no traffic.
