Travelling to Edinburgh

I'm travelling up to Edinburgh this weekend from Chesterfield for a friend's stag do, so I'm trying to avoid driving as by sunday I imagine my head to be pounding with a hangover.

I've looked at flying, and going by train. I've seen the NOMOREDIY discount code for thetrainline.com (giving £3 off)

So far I've got around £76 for return by train and around £60 return by flying, but the times for return flights are a bit rubbish.

Does anyone have any discount codes or details on vouchers available to get the cheapest deals? I need a bargain as the trip is costing £130 as it is!

Any help would be appreciated

    I always fly to and from Edinburgh - accounting for the time taken etc.

    Where are you flying from?

    Your nearest airport is Leeds Bradford but there is Manchester or Liverpool too, have you checked them?

    You would have to check prices and availablity for flights from these airports.

    How will you get home from the airport when you get back?

    I am intending to fly from East Midlands as I won't have to park, I can just get my girlfriend or one of my family to drop me off/pick me up.

    If I went to Leeds or Manchester chances are I'd have to pay to park.

    I'll check the other airports and cost of parking, thanks!
