PASSENGERS travelling with Emirates during the Europa League or Champions League finals will be able to watch both matches while 37,000ft in the air.

The airline has announced that it will live stream the games on all flights to and from England.

The airline has partnered with Live TV to screen the Europa League final in Baku on May 29 and the Champions League final in Madrid on June 1.

The matches will be shown on the dedicated sports channel, Sport 24, and passengers can tune in on the 23 flights currently scheduled.

This includes routes from London airports as well as Manchester, Newcastle and Birmingham.

For passengers who aren’t on these scheduled flights, and their planes aren’t equipped with Live TV, they can still keep up to date with the scores using the free WiFi on board.

It’s good news for Brits who were unable to get tickets to watch the all-British finals live.

Earlier this month, many football fans were left furious after prices for hotels and flights surged in both Madrid and Baku.

For the Madrid game, Norwegian Air added last-minute flights, while Thomas Cook was forced to close bookings early due to overwhelming demand.

The best way to get to the Madrid game could be to book a cheap package holiday elsewhere in Spain before getting the train to the country’s capital.

Brits were also warned about potential scams around the Europa League final as crooks could cash in on desperate fans with cheap travel deals.
