Arsenal supporters travelling to Germany for their UEFA Champions League clash with Bayern Munich face a costly midweek European away day, with flights, accommodation and match tickets all contributing to the final bill.
The Gunners visit the Allianz Arena on Wednesday, October 21, with kick-off scheduled for 9pm local time (8pm UK time).
The late start means fans travelling from London are unlikely to find a practical same-night return journey, making an overnight stay in Munich the sensible option.
The journey from London to Munich covers approximately 580 miles (930km) in a straight line, although the actual flight route will vary.
Supporters also need to account for the journey between Munich Airport, the city centre and the Allianz Arena, which sits on the northern outskirts of the city.
Based on estimated travel, accommodation and matchday expenses, an Arsenal fan should budget around £440 for the trip, assuming they secure an official away ticket and choose reasonably priced accommodation. Those relying on resale tickets could face a significantly higher total.
Bayern Munich vs Arsenal away day cost breakdown
The estimated £440 total comprises seven main expenses, with flights and accommodation accounting for the largest share of the cost.
Return flights from London to Munich are budgeted at £180. Prices vary according to the airline, departure airport, baggage allowance and booking date, so supporters should compare fares carefully before committing.
Travelling out on Wednesday and returning on Thursday also allows fans to avoid the pressure of catching a flight immediately after the match.
Accommodation is estimated at £120 for one night in a modest hotel or private hostel room, although cheaper options may be available, demand around a major Champions League fixture can push prices higher.
Including a night away is justified by the 9pm kick-off and the time required to leave the stadium and return to the city after the final whistle.
An official away ticket is budgeted at £45. However, Arsenal have confirmed that the fixture is sold out and advised supporters not to travel without a ticket.
Fans should check the official Arsenal travel information page for ticket collection arrangements and matchday guidance.
Food and drink are allocated £35, covering meals and refreshments throughout the trip, while a further £25 is set aside for public transport in Munich, including journeys between the airport, accommodation and stadium.
It should cost about £20 to cover travel to and from the London airport, while another £15 provides a small contingency for incidental expenses.
These estimates produce a total of £440 per supporter, though the figure is a planning budget rather than a guaranteed booking price, and it excludes shopping, hospitality packages and lost earnings.
