Flights from Manchester to London, via Cork will currently cost fans just £40 in total. It would mean flying from Manchester late on Saturday night before heading to London early on Sunday morning.

The return flights will leave London at 10pm on Sunday night with a flight back to Manchester early on Monday morning. The £91.20 saving leaves funds over for any hotels given the overnight stay.
