i know boston makes the odd trip over.... but anyone else on here travels over for the odd game or two... fair play if you do... i live around the corner, so it would kill me all that travelling.....
I live in France nowadays and have made 2 home games this season. A bit of a contrast between Oxford and Leicester.
"Travel is fatal to prejudice, bigotry and narrow-mindedness, and many of our people need it sorely on these accounts. Broad, wholesome, charitable views of men and things cannot be acquired by vegetating in one little corner of the Earth all one's lifetime." (Mark Twain)

Managed to get to West Brom away and the Sheffield Wednesday home game over Christmas and New Year from Barcelona, will be back for Sheff U at home too and Wembley in May (FA Cup Final or Playoffs, either is fine)

I've lived near Montpellier in France for the last 27 years and do try to go to a game each time I go to London, a few times a year. I'm also on a mission to impose the Rs to my friends so brought quite a few of them too :) Last game was the Hull game which I think was the first victory I saw for several years! (at HQ as I was in Perpignan in july)
Since my Dad passed away and my only family in the UK can’t see myself visiting blighty soon or thereafter. Shame, gets an expensive trip when you can’t stay with family.
A few countries and places over this side I would like to get to see now especially South America. Very fortunate to have visited Hawaii and Alaska, both mind blowing places.
Gets more expensive to live here as well day by day. Like everywhere.
I’m in Baltimore affectionately known as Charm city, Maryland. Hence Charmr.
I'll usually make two trips per year, attend 4-6 matches. Games not governed by name of opposition or match location. Always enjoy ropey northern away trips.
Brought up in Harrow but lived in Mackay, Queensland for a while (would get up at crazy hours during the night to listen to matches as no TV streaming then!). Then I moved down to Melbourne and was at the inaugural first 10 or so gatherings organized by Hoops Down Under in the Turf Bar (great bunch!). Moved back to the UK for a few years then married a Yank and have been living Stateside for the last 9 years, first Georgia, then swapped coasts to Oregon, then back east to North Carolina and we now live in Southern Maryland about a hour south of DC. I try to drag the Mrs over at least once a year and she's picked up the game pretty well and even has her favorite players! In NC we used to live off a street called Lumley. She was heartbroken when he left! We still owe NorthernR a Peroni after he bought us a drink when we were over a couple of years ago. I haven't forgotten that Clive. It's in the tap! Thank goodness for QPR+ for the rest of the time though.
By where we sit in the Loft we have a lad next to us who is a season ticket holder from Norway and right behind me 2 from Dubai. All of them are regulars to our games. The Emirati was over for the Sheff Wed game and the Norwegian will be back over this weekend for West Ham. There’s a Finnish couple who are season ticket holders who are over all the time. Really nice people.
Made the home opener against PNE, but trips to the UK are a rarity these days. Fortunately online viewing now exists. The late 70s to the mid 90s were pretty much an Rs free zone for me.
I am in Maryland, USA. Last time I was at Loftus Road was Aug 22, 2009...a 1-1 v Nottingham Forest. Very long overdue to come back....but it's hard with three kids and my work schedule.
Flown back a lot over the years from various countries Ive lived in, but principally to see my mum.
Only time I ever specifically flew back for the Rangers was from Phnom Penh in 2011, returning for the last two games.
However, I'm in a similar boat to charmr. My mum having passed, and after some back and fourth to settle her estate, my last home game was in March. With the trips Mrs PH and I have planned, probably won't be back until 2027. Can stay with friends, but you don't like to be a burden, so it'll be costly.
So, how wonderful that QPR played down the road in Perpignan last July, affording a chance to catch up with a few old faces and meet some new ones too.

I'm in Amsterdam, used to be in Montpellier. While in Montpellier I used to work in an English pub there which I commandeered to put on our games (roped in a few of the punters as honorary fans) which was always a laugh. Watching us batter Leeds there was a particular highlight.
Unfortunately haven't been able to make it back for games - I don't have a lot of money or time off which makes it difficult, and I only tend to get back to visit family around Xmas time. Tried to extend the trip this year to go to the Leicester game but couldn't make it work which was devastating as my brother went and enjoyed every second...
Lived in Cornwall/Devon for the first 23 years of my life, loved the 90's teams and saw all games against Plymouth and occasionally visting Loftus Rd. Embarrassingly the last game I saw live was against Oxford in April 1998.
Since 2012 I emigrated to New Zealand. So coming back for games even when I lived in the UK was tough but even tougher now.
Definitely on my list when I'm next in Blighty. My love for QPR since I emigrated has grown stronger even though they let me down far too often to count.
Based in the Copenhagen area. For quite a few years I attended about one game a season, home games if possible (traveling with a Tottenham friend, that wants to visit WHL, so match calendar is always an issue). These days, with kids, it's been more like every other year. I hope to visit this spring - I miss it a lot and I really want to see for myself, what all this talk about the Madsen guy is about :)

Living in Austria, I usually get to at least one game per season, a trip that also covers a concert...it will be Bristol/The Damned this season. When I was-a lot-younger I came over for a whole month and travelled the country to see QPR play. Nowadays it is the Official Stream mainly...
I lived an Antwerp 2001 to 2009 and kept my ST throughout coming back for all weekend home games. I now live in Britanny, France and come back for 3-5 games per season, so far Brentford, Derby & Sheff Utd. Will be at Stoke next Saturday
