Checked out trains and its around four hours from both Naples and Rome. If the FAI had any brains they would organise some chartered flights.
Well lads if you're looking to do via the UK Standsted do a direct flight to Bari. http://www.flycheapo.com/flights/bari Its a fair treck across from Naples to Bari too, Rome is even worse. If I was going I would do it this way if possible. Plus the airport is a stone throw away from where the stadium is situated in the City itself. More convenient IMO.
good idea in theory except it involves too many days off work as there's no suitable flights available on the days either side of matchday
Found this on the FAI website Italian FA Confirms Bari -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Date: Saturday, 03 January 2009 Section: News -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- The Italian FA (FIGC) has given formal confirmation that the San Nicola stadium in Bari will host the forthcoming World Cup qualifier, Italy v Ireland on April 1, 2009. Further details on kick off time and tickets have not been made available by the Italian FA but are expected in the coming weeks. The FAI will keep Irish fans updated on www.fai.ie.

Rynair are doing direct flights for the match, flying out the Wednesday morning at 6.00 and back at 11.15. Only catch is that its 475 return. Ouch!!!
Cheers Kopirish - another option to consider - was wonderinh how long it would take Mick to see the opportunity! R
Trying to price this ourselves. Looking very pricey from here. Never miss an away and I dont intend to do it now. I will be giving Rome a miss if we get to the final. This, Bulgaria and Cyprus are my football priorities and its gonna cost. Of course, we when qualify, I will have to re-mortgage the house.
I seen an advert for direct flights from dublin to bari being advertised here ***for €385 return if anyone is interested.
Has anyone heard of this crowd before - or better still, travelled with them? Any info would be appreciated Thanks, R
i booked with them for this trip along with 5 mates.i used them in the past to go to a Munster rugby match in France and all was ok. the times that they have really suit me work wise its out on tuesday at 12 noon ex Dublin direct to Bari and back on Thursday leaving Bari at 2pm dont know how much availability is left
Hi Sportsmad Where did you find out about this operation ? Are they ticket touts, or just specialists in providing flights ? Do they have any offices that someone could call into, to book flights etc ? Thanks.

Ray2007 Ps - accomodation is still very difficult to get - anybody got any suggestions - would be appreciated R
Garrett they are providing a charter flight for the YBIG group for Italy and Bulgaria away games.i saw there advert on the ybig.ie site and one of my mates is on that forum
Quick question...buddy of mine is going to the match and has booked into the Green Isle Hotel. What's the easiest way for him to get back out there after a feed of beer that night? Am I right in saying that the nitelink 69n goes that way? If so where's there easiest place to jump on? Thanks for the tips!! (and he's a red, so be nice)
Sorry....This is for the rugby international and not the Ireland v Italy game I was thinking of.....still any tips on how to get to the Green Isle late at night would be great.
ticket for Italy v Ireland lads me and a group are travelling to Bari on the YBIG Charter plane got the seats for €395 and now got the match tickets for €10 + €2 handling charge from thr FAI Flew with 747 for the Montenagro game and got ripped off paid over €700 for 2 days and the hotel was a dump. Saving quite a few bob when we add up the costs think its about €250 of a saving which is badly needed hope the weather is good and i can wear me wife beaters roll on Bari.
