You've saved me £160 hastockportaddick said:
My son has the same issue with the trains on the day so will be travelling the day before.RedRyan said:...I'm having to fly in from Manchester. The trains over the Bank Holiday are running slower services and take 4 hours direct, and I can't come down the day before, meaning I'd not get into London until just before 12. Not worth the risk of delays!
There is a coach from Manchester Chorlton St to Golders Green that departs around 5am ish and is about £13, takes about 5 hours. Golders Green to Wembley is only a short hop then train it home?6 -

Same situation for me, flying in from Qatar for less than 48 hours.Chris_from_Sidcup said:Flying in from Dubai, will only be in the country for about 37 hours, but it has to be done.
I would've stayed for longer but i actually have family visiting here at that time, and 2 days after they arrive here, i'm flying to Heathrow.3 -
From Nantes as usual with cheesyjet.
I told a friend todzy that I’d just bought 3 tickets for next Sunday and he thought I meant to the Ligue 1 relegation battle. Poo to that I said and sent him a WhatsApp message of my League 1 play off final tickets.5 -
I told myself I wouldn't go this time, for various reasons, still hobbling a bit after a toe op; feeling that after 2019 and 1998 I'd find out what the Sunderland felt like; trip arranged the following week, blah, blah. Then Thursday happened and all the aftermath on here. But it was Callum's post that tipped me over the age. The shit he got on here in the autumn, including from me reluctantly, yet he gets himself over from Texas and I can't manage it from Prague? And I call myself a proper supporter?Callumcafc said:In from Texas, also for less than 48 hours.
I had a word with myself. In on Saturday afternoon, fly back to Berlin on Monday, thus keeping my trip to the Baltic seaside on track. And doing the full hospitality thing at Wembley for the family again like in 2019.
Can't wait!22 -

You are a "proper supporter" mate, you have done the mileage.

I was over last August for 3 months, I'm back in March next year for almost certainly 2 months, to have a fleeting visit for this is a step too far, sadly.Sacrifices in life when you live abroad, Brazil and 7000 miles away.Never mind, at least City lost today

Flying from Dublin on Saturday and back on Monday. Can't walk an airport and a stadium in a day so spread it out over 3.

Appreciate it but as Elfs said, you’re 100% proper Charlton, no questions asked on that front.PragueAddick said:

Not flying but getting a train down from Manchester the day before, staying at my dad’s in Evesham and then a bright and early 8:30 train down to London on the Sunday!5

Was just over for 6 weeks end of March and returned to Boston May 3rd saw 3 games. I was on the fence but think I will come back! Wife might divorce me but hey !5

Flying in from Perth, land Friday lunchtime and back for just under a week.17

Love this thread. Our international community are amazing
I’m another crossing the Atlantic - arrive early Saturday morning, leave Monday afternoon. Unhappy wife, but hoping it’ll be worth it…..8 -
Flying in from Florida. Arrive Friday, leave Monday.9

Not sure why, but always thought you were over Chicago way @ChicagoAddick ?ChicagoAddick said:Flying in from Florida. Arrive Friday, leave Monday.22 -
It's kind of you too, but when I saw your post, and I see Calgary, Vancouver, Florida, Perth, I felt a bit ashamed. In a different type of thread I was fond of pointing out that with a fair wind a plane will get to Prague as quick as one heading for Aberdeen.Callumcafc said:

Perth?? That's got to be the longest so far, although I guess Vancouver will be close. Absolutely fantastic.
It would be a good idea to collect the list of international fans and destinations from here and from the IA WhatsApp group, and pass the eventual complete list to Tom Rubashow to pass on. It could help bolster commitment to Charlton.
I'll take that on. My penance for initially being such a wuzz.4 -
Flying in from Innsbruck. Flight tickets booked but no Wembley tickets yet 🤞4

@tom_k just checking, do you have an annual Charlton TV pass? At the very bottom of the FAQs it says:
I'm a fan that lives abroad and have an annual CharltonTV subscription?
We want to support our international fans subscribe to CharltonTV. Please email website@cafc.co.uk and your priority level will be looked at.
Someone on the other thread seemed to have information that would be level 2 but I have no confirmation of that. Worth a try if you haven't done that already.

Sadly no subscription, I only bought individual games. Thank you though!aliwibble said:@tom_k just checking, do you have an annual Charlton TV pass? At the very bottom of the FAQs it says:I'm a fan that lives abroad and have an annual CharltonTV subscription?

Right, here's the list as it stands. Please post additions/updates.
When I have time I'll check out the distances for each. I reckon the Brisbane gang may be the eventual winners of that.
Maybe towards the weekend some smart Lifer could do a map of it. That would make a good Tweet for the club account.
I'll try and pull together the WhatsApp crew. I think there may be an international Facebook group with different people, I don't really do FB so maybe somebody could check it out.Calgary x 2
Brisbane x 3 TBC
Knock x 3
Abu Dhabi
Edmonton/Calgary x2
San Francisco
Guernsey
Cork
Texas
San Francisco
Dubai
Netherlands
Vienna
Portugal
Qatar
Nantes
Prague
Dublin
Boston TBC
Florida
Innsbruck

Lovely to read about people flying in from overseas but also flying down or training it in from all of the UK too2 -

Add another one from France please. Short hop from Lyon, civilised return Monday lunchtime, will allow good time for Sunday celebrations.2

I know Stuart and he is on the WA group but last time he posted he was indicating not coming. Maybe like me he's had a word with himself..LargeAddick said:

And btw he and @jimmymelrose must live quite close to each other. He was on the Ile d'Oleron, we stayed in one of their apartments last summer, but they sold up, moved to the Vendee somewhere1 -
In awe of those coming from Australia/New Zealand.I'm over from Thailand and thought that was a long enough journey for play offs.Well done all international Addicks 👏12
