      Book early enough and its usually cheap than standard. It just requires vague organisation.

        Not ideal for long commute into central London.

            It used to cost £90 2nd class (standing room only) and £125 first class (guaranteed seat) therefore I opted for first class.

            The fare has increased to £112 2nd class and £190 first class with less seats sometimes no seat in first and no seat in second. Therefore it is back to using a car

              If I am working in Edinburgh (50% of my work) I would travel first class which costs 500 something a month. Realistically if they push the cost up another 6% which they will probably do then I might consider standard.

              Never bother with first class flying, a few valium and a few beers and I could be in an iron maiden and not care.

                I consider myself lucky to be quite short and slight when travelling by air, even on budget airlines I have enough room in economy seats.

                  I need to be in the US on the 6th, so earlier in the week had a look an it was £1100 back and fourth in premium. Logged in last night to book it now £2800. Same seats, same flight, difference was I'm now within 21 days to fly. Absolute ******* joke.

                    I simply fly myself to my destination
