Albion are flying high in an attempt to pull off another valuable away win.

The Seagulls have hired a 50-seater Fokker aircraft to whisk them to Hull and back for Monday night's FA Cup fifth round replay.

They will take off from Gatwick on Sunday evening and Humberside Airport is being kept open for the return journey late on Monday night after the match, which could go to extra-time and penalties.

Albion hired a smaller sized jet to take them to Blackpool for their final fixture of 2013 and were rewarded with a valuable 1-0 victory.

The club wants to give the players the best preparation possible for the Hull tie, hot-on-the-heels of Wigan's visit tomorrow, to try to seal a quarter-final clash against Gus Poyet's Sunderland at the Amex.
