Group E

Ajax Amsterdam vs. FC Bayern München

The German giants will arrive in Amsterdam not using the Airbus A340-600 any more, but one of Lufthansa's brand new Airbus A350-900s:

Group G

Real Madrid vs. CSKA Moscow

The long journey from Moscow to Spain means that CSKA will arrive in Madrid a couple of days before the game, once again using Aeroflot and one of their Airbus A320s for the trip:

Group H

BSC Young Boys vs. Juventus

The Swiss champions may be eliminated already, but they will look to gain at least one more point against a Juve that is still looking to win the group as it might want to avoid some bigger calibers in the knockout stages:

ST1080 TRN 1600-1720 BRN A319 (11/12/18)

11 December 2018

Group A

Club Brugge vs. Atlético Madrid

There is only the group winner's spot at stake in this game, with Atlético already bound for the Round of 16 and Brugge to continue this season's European adventures in the Europa League Round of 32:

UX1903 MAD 1200-1400 OST B738 (10/12/18)

UX2003 OST 0115-0320 MAD B738 (12/12/18)

AS Monaco vs. Borussia Dortmund

The French team is not only struggling in the league this season, but also in the Champions League. Dortmund on the other hand has secured a spot in the knock-out stage already and will look to finish the group stage on a high, before going into the European winter break:

Group B

FC Barcelona vs. Tottenham Hotspur

Spurs travel to Barcelona in the knowledge that most probably they will have to win this last fixture to make the round of 16 in 2019. This task will be a difficult one though, with Barcelona unbeaten at home in European competitions for a number of years now:

Internazionale vs. PSV Eindhoven

PSV is already eliminated, but will look to end this year's European campaign on a high, away at San Siro, which will probably a fairly difficult task.

Group C

Red Star Belgrade vs. Paris St-Germain

The French-Arabian giants from the edge of the Bois de Boulogne in Paris travel to Belgrade, where surely they will face a feisty atmosphere. PSG would be best off with a positive result, because otherwise they are dependent on the outcome of the parallel match between Napoli and Liverpool.

The return flight of La Compagnie will go to Paris CDG, because during the night, flight operations at Orly in the South of Paris are suspended.

Liverpool FC vs. SSC Napoli

For this most eagerly anticipated encounter at Anfield Road, the Italian side will arrive with AlbaStar and one of their Boeing 737-800s. Mind you, it is Liverpool that absolutely needs a positive result here:

FC Schalke 04 vs. Lokomotiv Moscow

Despite the early kickoff at 18.55h, Lokomotiv will only leave from Münster-Osnabrück deep into the night time:

28 November 2018

Group A

Atlético Madrid vs. AS Monaco

Atlético host a Monaco team in deep trouble at the Wanda Metropolitano. The French club has clearly lost it and is just battling away to maybe save its face into the Europa League round of 32:

ENT501 NCE 1000-1050 MAD B738 (27/11/18)

ENT502 MAD 0100-0215 NCE B738 (29/11/18)

Group B

PSV Eindhoven vs. FC Barcelona

Already qualified for the Champions League knock-out stage once more, Barcelona might even rest some key players for the trip to the Netherlands. PSV on the other hand has just the Europa League round of 32 to play for:

Group C

Paris St-Germain vs. Liverpool FC

A bit surprisingly, Group C has proven to be really competitive, not least because of PSG and Liverpool tripping up when they were not expected to do so. Liverpool will now surely have to look to beat PSG for a second time, though this time at the Parc des Princes:

ZT1602 LPL 1420-1640 CDG B752 (27/11/18)

BY8151 CDG 0125-0145 MAN B738 (29/11/18)

Group D

Lokomotiv Moscow vs. Galatasaray Istanbul

An away draw may be enough for Galatasaray to clinch the Europa League in 2019, but if they get more, they may still dream of beating Schalke 04 to a round of 16 spot in the Champions League:

Group E

AEK Athens vs. FC Bayern München

Despite wearing Qatar Airways sponsorship badges on their shirts these days, Bayern are still traveling with Lufthansa on their European journeys, using one of the company's Airbus A340-600s for the trip to Greece once more:

Privilege Style has a habit of carrying teams from Spain all across the continent, but their Portuguese neighbors are no strangers either to the use of the elegantly painted Boeing 757s:

Group F

TSG 1899 Hoffenheim vs. Olympique Lyonnais

Arrival airports seem to change in rotation for the visitors of the German club based right next to the A6 motorway in Sinsheim. This time Karlsruhe/Baden-Baden is the port of choice for Olympique Lyonnais, but who could have ruled out a trip within France for them, to either Strasbourg or Colmar-Houssen?

Group G

AS Roma vs. CSKA Moscow

The Russian army club has a sponsorship with Aeroflot that even includes a plane in the club's colours, so Aeroflot is the logic choice for CSKA's trip to the Italian capital, where they will face AS Roma at the Stadio Olimpico:

Real Madrid vs. Viktoria Plzen

No great surprises when it comes to the amount of seats on offer for this away trip. Real Madrid may still be the biggest attraction in Champions League football, even if Cristiano Ronaldo has now left the club and moved to Turin. No less than three aircraft will carry Czech players, staff and supporters to Madrid:

Group H

Manchester United vs. Juventus Turin

It is yet another return to an old club for CR7, with Manchester United of course being the club where he first became really famous. His trip was far from certain though, after he conceded a red card in the first Champions League fixture against Valencia early this season.

BSC Young Boys vs. Valencia CF

Bern is always a tricky journey to plan, with the airport notorious for being pested by fog and because of very restrictive night flying regulations. Valencia is thus flying to nearby (100km) Basel, where aircraft movements are not quite as heavily restricted:
