    If you buy one and intend to use compatible inks, check the cost of those, possibly only the PX ones use cheaper compatibles

    "...All other costs associated with the flight will be borne by the participant and are excluded from the Air Fare Cost. Such other costs include, but are not limited to (i) any baggage or other charges made in connection with the flight or in addition to the base fare (ii) any taxes, passenger duty, fuel surcharges, service charge and airport fees (iii) any insurance (iv) any additional fees for card payments..."

    All these costs probably amount to more than the 'base fare' and you'd not save much - possibly a lot less than the cost of the cheapest printer.
  • That's going to be pretty rancid. Only air fare means that it doesn't include taxes, which are the bulk of the fares for these type of destinations.

    Given the many onerous restrictions, it looks like a really poor deal. For instance on many of the cheapest tickets (which seems to be what you'll get) the breakdown will show that the air fare is close to £0 anyway.

    I was looking at flights to Dublin with Aer Lingus. The outbound flight was £4.99 and the inbound is £0.00.

    The total cost of flying? £135!

    So you could spend £130 on your Epson flights.

    I don't think anyone else has posted this yet but if you buy an Epson printer you can get a free European return flight. Add printer ink to your order and you get an additional return flight.

    Yesterday, we ordered a SX235W which was half price on the Epson site and it arrived this morning.

    I hope this is helpful.

    Thanks for posting but on inspection of the terms this seems like an expensive lucky dip.

    Not even 1 Scottish airport. The saving would be taken up with the cost of getting to Newcastle or Belfast.
