Ryanair cancelled - I wonder how long before my money lands back on my card? (They say upto 7 days after the refund has been approved, can't see them approving it quickly though).

Easyjet booked but costing £200 more than Ryanair did, and well over £200 more than Easyjet would have cost when we originally booked months ago (but we wanted to fly to Girona rather than Barca). Just need to find a reasonabley priced car hire from the airport for 15 nights and that allows us to cross the border into France.

Anything less than a near perfect performance in Perpignan (something similar to Huddersfield in the cup last year) will be a little dissapointing after the trouble and expense that we have had to go through so far!

Rather than book transfers from Barcelona a cheaper option is to take the airport bus into town and then get the direct bus to Tossa de Mar, its not expensive and takes about an hour, this link is for the timetable and prices click here We stayed in Tossa for the match last season and went to Barcelona for the day using the bus. You will enjoy Tossa, its a really nice place.
