Flights and costs

17 February 2010, 14:04

(Thanks again to all the enthusiastic researchers on yesterday's Scotland-Germany thread).

I finally decided to go with Easyjet and a stopover in Gatwick. Haven't had to fly with them for a while now. Alas, their charges are worse. £3.50 booking fee, plus a credit card fee of £4.50 for Visa credit card. £8 per booking. Tsk.

So on Sunday I fly from Luton to Edinburgh. One booking.
On Monday I fly from Edinburgh to Gatwick. Second booking.
On Tuesday I fly from Gatwick to Köln. Third booking.

I eschewed the extra costs for baggage, "speedy" boarding, insurance, hotels, car hire...

You could have walked there by now.

And what exactly is wrong with an "ad hominem" argument? Dodgy Agent, 16-5-2014

Usual problem is being squeezed between wanting/needing to leave later and wanting to arrive earlier. Maybe it's not my flights but my life that I need to adjust?

And just stop using Easyjet.
