    the options I can think of would be one of the low cost airlines, or ferry, channel tunnel and drive.

    Hi,

    There are the long distance european coaches. https://www.nationalexpress.com

    Price for 2 adults and a 2 year old was £213. They charge for 2 year olds, so presumably they'd have their own seat.

    But do you like coaches?????????

    The website adjusted the dates to the closest match to yours.

    Not exactly an ideal means of transport, but it is cheap!

    We've driven to/from Toulouse and even with sharing the driving you really need a stopover each way, so that will add to your cost.

    Is the club organising any transport? Groups normally get big discounts on transport & hotels. Or have you got friends you could book with to negotiate a group discount?

    For discount flights, try Carcassonne aswell as Toulouse, it might offer some other flight options. A flight plus hire car using Carcassonne might work out, Carcassonne is pretty too!!

    I presume you're planning to go the the cup quarter final between Toulouse & Widnes! We're going out to Perpignan a couple of weeks later to watch Leeds v London and are flying into Spain & hiring a car. It's much cheaper than going direct to Perpignan.
    Have a look at easyjet/ryanair/bmi baby & see where they fly into around that area eg - Girona from Blackpool on Ryanair or Bordeaux from Manchester with BMIbaby
    https://www.skyscanner.net might help you out, & do a car hire search on kelkoo to find the cheapest car hire prices.

    I'll have a hunt around for you this aft if I've got time & see what I can come up with..............
  • Thanks every one for helping us out, does not look like little 1 is going now so it will be just the two of us.


    The club were setting something up but was 230

    We have considered going on coach 'se999' as some1 has stated that a coach will run but every one has droped out and that was 180

    and looks like widnes aint taking that many so looks like train or flying is best option not considered ferry yet so ill look into it


    And lucie checked skyplanner which looks best option but she does not want to travel to nimes so i gota listin to the boss.

    lucie when you go and play london good luck we need it.
