If you prefer to fit the flight around a weekend, most of the matches at the start of the season are scheduled for Sunday. Anyone planning a vacation around Christmas or New Year's can choose the match against Inter Milan or against Parma.

Tips for getting to match day
- Book early: It is worth booking tickets and a flight well before the match, especially when the opponent is a big team.
- Check the date and time before the flight: It is worth confirming the match date and kick-off time before booking a flight and hotel, and leaving a gap between your landing time and the match time.
- Arrive at the stadium early: At a stadium with more than 40,000 seats, it takes time to get through the entrance and find your seat. Arriving early saves stress before the opening whistle.
- Keep your ticket within reach: It is a good idea to have your ticket and ID ready in advance, so that entry goes through without delay.
