EasyJet Offer Relief for Liverpool Fans Facing Marseille Travel Chaos

Liverpool supporters planning to travel to Marseille for the final Champions League group game on 21 January have faced significant travel hurdles. According to the Daily Mail, there are no direct flights from Liverpool John Lennon Airport the day before the game, with most options involving two stopovers in cities such as Dublin or Madrid.

Expensive and Inconvenient Routes

Supporters have been left with the prospect of long journeys or expensive alternatives. The Eurostar from London to Paris, followed by a three-hour train to Marseille, has been touted as another option, though this adds to both cost and time. Similar issues are being reported from Manchester Airport, leaving many fans frustrated.

EasyJet Step In

Confidential understands that easyJet have provided some relief by scheduling a special flight from Liverpool to Marseille at 8am on matchday, returning the following lunchtime. The downside is the price, with tickets costing at least £347.

For Liverpool fans, this is a familiar story of dedication meeting logistical chaos. The club’s supporters have always travelled in numbers, but the lack of direct flights for a Champions League fixture feels like a major oversight. Having to take two stopovers or commit to a long train journey across France is draining both financially and physically.

The easyJet option is welcome, but at £347 it prices out many ordinary fans who already spend heavily on match tickets and European trips. It is a reminder that following Liverpool across Europe is not just about passion, it is about deep pockets and planning months in advance.

Fans will likely still sell out the away allocation, such is the bond between team and supporters, but there is a growing feeling that more should be done at organisational level to make European travel accessible. For a club built on the strength of its travelling support, these are the occasions that define the culture. The hope is that the team reward that loyalty with a performance worthy of the effort.
