Hi,
Maybe Newcastle? Depends on which part of Yorkshire.
Best regards

Sorry, I was being slightly flippant. To be honest I'll be keeping an eye on this thread, as I'd gathered Kent airport was a bit out of the way and would be interested to see comments from anyone <U>not</U> from the South-East who's flown from there.
Good luck!0 -

I live in the Manston area and know many people who have flown with EUjet from there, including my parents, (alsa i haven't being a poor student) But 90% of the people who i know who have used the service say that very good. Get out of your car into the airport and 15-20 mins later there through. The other were just minor comlaints such as the plane was later etc
They also do regular promotions, but alas flightchecker doesn't include manston (yet)
RobOld Faithful we roam the range together,
Old Faithful in any kind of weather,
When the round up days are over,
And the Boulevard’s white with clover,
For you old faithful pal of mine.
Giddy up old fella cos the moon is yellow tonight,
Giddy up old fella cos the moon is mellow and bright,
There’s a coyote crying at the moon above,
Carry me back to the one I love,
And you old faithful pal of mine.0 -
If you can drive there I believe the parking is reasonably cheap-it is a bit out of the way for public transport0
