Spanish Airline Iberia To Offer Additional Madrid-Lisbon Flights Before And After CL Final

Spanish airline Iberia will "increase by 124% its offers on flights from Madrid to Lisbon to make available a total of 12,000 seats" for the Champions League final between Real Madrid and Atlético, according to the EFE. For the final, which will take place on May 24, Iberia will offer 76 flights -- 22 of which will be additional -- from May 22-25 to "allow Iberia to bring not only Real Madrid to Lisbon, but also thousands of fans of both clubs." Of the 22 additional flights, "12 will be charter and the other 10 will be regular flights." Iberia "is also planning to use bigger planes for these flights" (EFE, 5/8). The EFE reported in a separate piece Lisbon Mayor Antonio Costa "responded to complaints of hotel prices in Lisbon" the weekend of the match by saying, "We will all see in Lisbon a great city that happily welcomes whoever visits." For Atlético and Real fans "without tickets for the final," Costa indicated that "large TV screens will be installed in the city." Madrid Mayor Ana Botella said that she is "in contact with both clubs to offer opportunities to see the game in other ways without leaving the Spanish capital" (MARCA, 5/8).
