Can you fly direct from Scotland to Seville? Travel prices for Europa League final

Football fans may be looking to book travel to Seville this month after Rangers reached the final of the Europa League last night.

The Europa League final will take place on Wednesday, May 18 and Rangers fans will now be on the hunt for affordable travel to the Spanish city, where the team will face off against Eintracht Frankfurt.

There are several routes to get to Seville with varying price tags, but across all routes fans will struggle to get direct flights both to and from their destination.

Travel agencies have been inundated with enquiries from Rangers fans who want to make the trip, so much so that Barrhead Travel are exploring the possibility of chartering flights to Seville.

Jacqueline Dobson, President of Barrhead Travel, said: “Overnight, we have been inundated with demand from Rangers fans looking to head to Seville to celebrate their team’s success.

“This is a momentous occasion for fans, so we anticipate that demand is only going to continue rising. We’re therefore looking at what else we can do for our customers: one possibility is chartering flights and we are currently pursuing this as an option."

Here is everything you need to know about travel to Seville.

Are there direct flights from Scotland?

According to Skyscanner, there are direct flights to and from Seville that depart at Edinburgh airport. The flights are ran by Ryanair on Tuesdays, however there are no flights available on Tuesday, May 17 - the day before the finals.

There are still some direct Ryanair flights from Edinburgh, but you'll have to be fast as they will be departing on Tuesday May 10.

EasyJet are offering a one-way direct flight to Seville which will depart on Tuesday, May 17 at midday and will arrive at 4:30pm, however it costs a whopping £742.99 per-person and there are no available return flights.

What about return flights?

All return flights from May 19 until May 24 could have journey times in excess of five and a half hours, with at least one connecting flight. These flights start at around £100.

Many of the cheaper return flights will have journey times as long as 20 hours.

There are some direct two way flights departing on Tuesday May 10, however the return date is Tuesday the 24th of May, so you will have to account for a two-week stay in Seville.

For a flight that has one direct route either way you will have to fork out at least £100, however some flights can cost less than £100 if you are willing to brave the long journey times.

How long will the journey take?

A direct flight to Seville will take just over three hours.

With a single stop your return flight could take as little as five and a half hours.

Many flights with two or more connecting stops will take between 10 and 20 hours, with some routes even exceeding 30-hour mark.

What airlines fly to Seville?

For the most part, flights to Seville during this period are run by Ryanair and EasyJet.

There are also flights run by British Airways, however they all feature at least one stop and can cost in excess of £1,000.
