A GLASGOW-based travel agent has been “inundated” with enquiries from Rangers fans seeking passage to Seville for the Europa League final later this month.
The Glasgow club booked its place in the final against Eintracht Frankfurt on May 18 after defeating RB Leipzig at Ibrox last night.
Barrhead Travel said it has been deluged with enquiries from supporters desperate to make the trip to Spain.
President Jacqueline Dobson said: “Overnight, we have been inundated with demand from Rangers fans looking to head to Seville to celebrate their team’s success. We’re drawing on all of our key suppliers to get the best value offers ready for those intending to travel. As demand is exceptionally high for Seville, we’re being creative with our packages and have offers available into the surrounding areas such as Malaga and Faro which will allow easy access into Seville.’
“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.’
“Anyone looking to travel to Seville should ensure they book with a reputable travel agent to guarantee full financial protection and certainty on their booking.”
Why are you making commenting on The Herald only available to subscribers?
It should have been a safe space for informed debate, somewhere for readers to discuss issues around the biggest stories of the day, but all too often the below the line comments on most websites have become bogged down by off-topic discussions and abuse.
heraldscotland.com is tackling this problem by allowing only subscribers to comment.
We are doing this to improve the experience for our loyal readers and we believe it will reduce the ability of trolls and troublemakers, who occasionally find their way onto our site, to abuse our journalists and readers. We also hope it will help the comments section fulfil its promise as a part of Scotland's conversation with itself.
We are lucky at The Herald. We are read by an informed, educated readership who can add their knowledge and insights to our stories.
That is invaluable.
We are making the subscriber-only change to support our valued readers, who tell us they don't want the site cluttered up with irrelevant comments, untruths and abuse.
In the past, the journalist’s job was to collect and distribute information to the audience. Technology means that readers can shape a discussion. We look forward to hearing from you on heraldscotland.com
