Manchester City fans have been singing about going to Istanbul all season. Getting there for tonight's eagerly-anticipated Champions League final, however, has been far easier said than done.

Around 40 direct flights have left Manchester Airport this week for the Turkish city, flying thousands of City fans to one of the biggest games in their history.

With such demand brings a premium price, though, with many fans feeling priced out of direct flights. City's own travel packages started at £995 for a day-trip on Saturday, excluding accommodation and a match ticket.

With accommodation, it would cost fans £1499, and match tickets for the Champions League final at the Ataturn Stadium were as much as £599 on top.
