Overview
- Hotels in Bilbao are charging up to €4,500 for one-night stays on May 21, with most primary accommodation fully booked or prohibitively expensive.
- EasyJet flights to Bilbao have surged to £609–£772 under demand-driven pricing, with limited availability remaining for direct travel options.
- Fans are turning to alternative lodging in nearby Santander, where rooms are significantly cheaper, such as €178 per night at Ibis Styles Santander.
- Supporters are also exploring indirect travel options, including TAP Air Portugal flights via Lisbon (£324), FlixBus coaches from London (£154), and ferry crossings from Portsmouth (£201).
- Criticism has grown from fan groups, with claims that loyalty is being exploited by inflated pricing from hoteliers and travel providers.
