If you're going to the Paris one, then fly into Paris-Beauvais from Glasgow Prestwick on Ryanair.

...i can't believe I just 'recommended' Ryanair to someone. I'm sorry. I'll get me coat.

Just checked, all tickets are currently £1.99ea, therefore you can all go with the luxury of a suitcase each and decadent airport check-in for £340. Don't you just love'em?

Sorry, didn't add in the insurance gumf.. remember you'll still have the pleasure of paying to pay them if you haven't got an electron card..

complete joke isn't it?? - still gets you there, and no-one else flies to Beauvais.

would it be cheaper to travel by car do you think?

according to this site it will cost me 83.48 euros, not including ferry/eurostar

anyone any other ideas

Darkside you have not got the right figures for Ryanair. It's £64 for the flights plus £30 per bag providing you check in online. Surely 2 bags plus the four pieces of hand luggage of up to 10 kg would be enough. That's a total of £124 plus the cost of getting to and from the airports. If you haven't got your own VISA electron or know someone who has you can buy a prepaid electon card for a much lower fee than Ryanair charges.

Keep your eye out for ryanair offers there are often£10,£5,£1 and 1p flights, its probably to early for october offers, if you want a virtual electron card you can apply to entropay. I would look at the ryanair thread for other ideas and also ignore some of the more negative posters as there are a lot of people who have had loads of cheap travel from them.

thanks for everyones response, not sure what you are talking about the electron card and pre-paid for though?

Won't you want a car when you're there? You'll be very stuck without your own transport, particularly as the weather in October may well be poor.
