Arsenal away guide: BATE Borisov tickets, flights, hotels and Belarus visa information
Everything Arsenal fans need to know to attend their first Europa League away game in Belarus
ARSENAL are back in familiar territory in the Europa League as they face BATE Borisov in the last 32.
The Gunners played the Belarussians twice in last season's group stage running out 4-2 and 6-0 winners.
And SunSport is on hand to tell you everything you need to know to attend Arsenal's away match there this time around.
How do I get to BATE Borisov?
Trains are regularly available from Minsk, and take approximately one hour.
But Arsenal are arranging complimentary coaches from the Belarussian capital, which they recommend all supporters take due to security concerns.
The club added: "If you do not take up these complimentary coaches, you will find travel to and from the stadium exceptionally difficult.
"Local Police strongly advise against travel on public transport."
Direct flights to Minsk are available from Gatwick with Belavia, but cost over £300.
Stopping services from Gatwick via Kiev will set you back around £190 with Ukrainian International.
The stadium is around 4km outside the city centre so Gunners fans will need to get a taxi or mashrutka - the local public buses.
Do I need a visa to travel to Belarus?
UK nationals can travel to Belarus visa-free for five days, but you MUST enter the country through Minsk Airport.
A visa is required if you are entering Belarus by road or flying to any other airport in the country.
How many tickets have Arsenal been allocated and how much will they cost?
Arsenal have been handed 794 tickets for the match in Borisov, costing £15.
Away fans will be housed in the South Stand with Gunners supporters needing to show their ticket and passport to gain entry.
Where should I stay?
Hotel options in Borisov are limited, so most Arsenal fans will head to Minsk.
Prices start at around £20 for hotels in the Belarussian capital.
Are Arsenal offering official travel to the match?
The club have not announced any official travel to BATE Borisov away.
