Leeds to gatwick how much????

yorkshirepud_2

We are needing to get to Gatwick on the 29th and return on the 11th.

The cheapest i can find is £60 each if we book singles, is there a cheaper way of doing this??

this seems a bit steep to me but i have always had a rail card and now im too old.

Any ideas?

I can only go by train, buses over long journeys make me sick

Consider splitting it up
Leeds-Sheffield
Sheffield-St Pancras
King's Cross Thameslink-Gatwick Airport
or Sheffield-Luton, Luton-Gatwick

Teensy weensy problem - Leeds isn't in Scotland, nor served by Scotrail so no offer.

To OP - can't see anything obvious, sorry

Teensy weensy problem.

Check the facts before you post.....

You may find you're wrong :rolleyes:
The offer is open to ALL rail travel, almost anywhere.

I did check it for a random journey from Leeds, or I wouldn't have posted. Same price using Scotrail as my normal site.

But when you get to the payment page the discount is listed, it isn't on the price matrix.

In that case I'll quietly delete my post.......

I know us Northeners look down South suspiciously but

I don't think you need Malaria tablets for Gatwick

Glad we saved you some money :cool: :cool:

Em, all anti-malarials have side effects and there's no guarantee that the ones that dont have as many side effects will have less side effects in your case.

Also not all anti-malarials are suitable for all countries - so your spending more money may mean you end up with LESS protection
