Just spoke to a hopeless guy from Kiwi and he confirms the flight from Milan to Tirana is cancelled and there is no other direct flight that day. I need to contact Ernest Airlines to see what they can do to help before I can get a refund.
Spent a grand few days in rePUBlic bar about 8 weeks ago with the Saints in Europe, the beers decent and the foods good. It also has a downstairs sitting area so should take a decent number.
