FC Utrecht v Liverpool – Flight & Travel Information

Posted by

Liverpool’s opponents in the Europa League group stage are FC Utrecht of Holland on September 30, and fortunately for traveling fans, Utrecht is not as hard to get to as Trabzon, so we have compiled the following on how to get there; including flights and train times to Utrecht from Amsterdam.

Flying from Liverpool John Lennon to Amsterdam Schipol seems the easiest option; however EasyJet have taken advantage of everyone looking for flights on the dates around the game and increased their prices, so flying from Manchester with KLM is cheaper.

Utrecht is only half an hour by train from both Amsterdam Central and the airport, and they run frequently enough to get you to the game in time – see train details below.

For those flying from London, there are a couple of flights from Gatwick, Stanstead and Luton listed below.

  1. Hey mates,
    I live in Holland, so finally I can see some true football close to home:) My question is if I can buy match tickets without having a season ticket?
    Hope to hear from you soon, YNWA
