CELTIC FANS have vented their frustrations after Celtic’s official travel partner has again failed to secure a chartered flight for the bhoys next European away day.
Nirvana Europe have apologised for the inconvenience but that’s the first three away days they haven’t been able to cater to fans.
Prompting one fan to call them hopeless while another told Nirvana they were ‘as much use as an ashtray on a motorbike’.
??Athens update: Unfortunately, due to the high cost of securing an aircraft to Greece at this time of year, an Official Fan Charter in partnership with @Nirvana_Europe is not a viable option for the fixture v AEK Athens.

Availability and affordability are two key aspects to procuring a flight on short notice. unfortunately, due to the time of year it does become difficult to organise European away trips when the football season isn’t properly in full swing.
Celtic fans will have to make their own way to Athens for the game in two weeks.
First up is the home leg showdown on Wednesday.
I checked last night and a 3 night trip to Athens including hotel (13-16 August) was £252 from Heathrow and over £600 from Glasgow. No wonder the travel partners are unable to compete.
