    Best way to get to Berlin from Edinburgh....

    Answer on a postcard... it's either 2 flights or 'Ryanair don't care' first thing in the morning, and I'm a man who likes my sleep...

    Give my mate David Hood a call here. He's got a very nice Boeing Business Jet.

      Off the top of my head, Train to Leeds, 757 bus outside station to LBA, Jet2 to Berlin? Schonefeld tho - bloody miles away from the City centre....

        Me too. I've solved my transport problem by getting my Sunday night's sleep in a hotel en route. Not a great way to live really.

              Just the beginning of the contract for this one. The wife shall be joining me in the next few weeks but in meantime it's 'not a great way to live' like you say...

              Berlin will be fun though.

              PS 2nd direct engagement!!

                6am KLM flight I'll be in Berlin by 11am with a change in Amsterdam, £300 smackers though.

                All done! Phew... that tool to long.

                  If it's a one-off, or you can spare extra time either from work or from your own time, there are other ways. Ferry Rosyth-Zeebrugge? Or just fly KLM, change in AMS. Of course the sleeper trains to London get you in too late to get to an airport for a morning flight, someday they'll think of sleeper trains to LHR.

                  I do a shorter journey of Bedfordshire to Cologne, but even that is difficult. So I take the train and stay in Brussels. I could stay in Gatwick instead but that would seem too bizarre. Or of course I could get up at 3:30 on monday morning, but that's no more like being at home on Sunday than leaving on Sunday evening is.
