MAJOR FLIGHT SALE UNTIL THURSDAY. Flights at £7 e/w all-in to European Destinations

DeeRus

Only options are;

Leeds - BMI, but very expensive unless you book early

East Mids - BMI Baby, this is much more reasonable


I use another flight checker but I'll not post it here!


Hope this helps but the shout of the train could be a real option. When you take into account the time to be at the airport for check in, then the flight, pick up your bags and then a transfer into the centre...... with the train, you get on (hopefully no connections!) and get off in the centre.

And with the deals where sometimes that 2 singles are cheaper - I've travelled recently, where I've got 1st class for less than an Apex return!!!

Hi, great spot this one. Does anyone know whether midnight Thursday means tonight or tomorrow night?!

Nice to see you getting into the tip sharing spirit of the forums

Thanks for the replies, looks like the train probably is the best and cheapest option - BMI baby gave me a ridiculously expensive price (online) and I didn't find anything less than £200 return

The 'offers' sometimes seen may be genuine but it seems you have to be very flexible, and very lucky, to be able to take advantage

Thanks for the info. I just bagged myself two full days in Berlin for a return airfare of £30 all in. Headline offer was 0.01p each way but £30 still aint bad. I can't say I actually saved money though as until I read Martin's email I hadn't been planning any trips.

Having only recently seen Al Gore’s new documentary film, An Inconvenient Truth, about the threats of global warming I do feel guilty. Perhaps I should visit a Berlin dominatrix for a damn good thrashing.

Carbon Offset schemes are just a gimmick so that we can feel a little less angst ridden and avoid making some painful lifestyle choices. Still there's always tomorrow - I hope!

Now I've got the cheap air fare any suggestions on where I should look for good hotel deals?

Cheers,
Ade

Any idea where I can get a cheap flight to Barcelona International? Reus and Girona (the two promoted by RyanAir) are a good 100km away from Barcelona! And BCN isn't on the FlightChecker!

Ideally going from London Stansted!

Ryanair doesn't fly into BCN; I think Easyjet does, but personally I've never found them particularly cheap. Last time I went to Barcelona I flew into Girona, and though it's not as convenient, there's an airport bus for about 7 euros that takes you right into the centre of Barcelona in 45 mins-1 hour.

Obviously if time's tight this isn't a good option for you, but you're much more likely to get a cheap flight into Girona (saving more than the cost of the bus!) than into Barcelona International.

I refuse to even consider flying with Ryanair as they have little regard to safety, and they treat their crew with the same regard as slaves. ! They are in the same league as sweatshop factories using child labour.....

I don't think Ryanair's safety measures are compromised but I do think their customer service is rubbish and I refuse to fly them unless I have to go somewhere obscure and they are the only person that goes to that destination.

The amount of [severe] delays I've suffered with Ryanair plus the fact that in most cases, you end up in the middle of nowhere with a lengthy transfer (and additional cost) to get to your intended destination is just not worth it.

I look at it in a time = money way. Quite often, other airlines fly within an overall £20 - £30 difference. If I end up where I want to be in a timely fashion, it's worth the extra couple of quid in my eyes. If I'm going away for a weekend, I've got better things to do than twiddle my thumbs at Stansted waiting for my plane to arrive hours after I should have departed!
