    Out of interest what did the 1p flights work out at TOTAL with this new increase in tax?

    Here is a good link about getting from girona to Barc
    http://www.spanish-airport-guide.com/girona-barcelona.html

    Also can anyone tell me about parking at Stansted just for two days
    which is the cheapest car park to use.
    I paid £11.04 return for 2 (that was including paying for 1 bag and priority boarding.

    Hotel was free too so an absolute bargain.

    Booked pink elephant parking for 3 days for £16.20 with a 10% off code - was the most expensive bit of the trip !!
