London Gatwick International Airport

by traveldave

Located about 28 miles (45 kilometers) south of central London, London Gatwick International Airport (LGW) is the second-largest airport in the United Kingdom, and is among the top ten of the busiest international airports in the world. Most airlines serving the airport are from the United Kingdom and European countries, although there are flights from Africa, the Middle East, and North America as well. The airport is also a major hub for many of the no-frills airlines that have proliferated in recent years. Airlines serving London Gatwick International Airport: Adria Airways, Aer Lingus, African Alliance International, Afriqiyah Airways, Air Europa, Air Malta, Air Moldova, Air Nostrum, Air Seychelles, Air Southwest, Air Zimbabwe, airBaltic, Aurigny Air Services, Belavia Belarusian Airlines, British Airways, Bulgaria Air, Cimber Sterling, Croatia Airlines, Cubana Airlines, Delta Air...

BMI

by clivedinburgh

BMI spun out of British Midland and did attempt to compete alongside BA, however in the last year the service they offer has gone down in quality in my opinion. The complimentary drinks & snacks stopped on 1 Aug 05 (these are still available at a cost). A lot of flights started to run late and the general level of service has fallen. For the money they still charge you are better off using BA or saving some pounds on FlyBE or Easyjet.I signed up on their frequent flier programme 18 months ago when I started travelling to london twice a month. A Diamondclub card was issued and I looked forward to qualifying to the Silver level whereby I'd gain entry to their lounges along with a few other perks. As I started, I was gaining 300 points per flight = 1200 per month. At this rate I reckoned on taking 14 months to get the 15000 necassary. I gave up before Christmas with less than 5000 as for...

Travelling on the rails

by monkeyfeesh

Trains here are a major form of passenger transport. They're generally fast, and despite their growing reputation for unreliability, I haven't had many problems in years of using them regularly. They can be quite expensive, but with railcards and advance bookings you can save a fair bit of money. It's best to try to book a few weeks in advance and travel off-peak. If you do book in advance, to get the cheapest fares you'll be restricted to travelling on specific trains on specific days. If you'd like a little bit more flexibility, you could try a Saver Return. They're not as cheap as the more restricted tickets, but since they allow you to return on any day and (almost - must be off-peak and sometimes there are route restrictions) any train within 30 days of the outward travel date, they do provide added flexibility. At short notice for trips over a day long, they're probably the best...

Take the train to see the UK!

by sheherezad

Sorry about the category - there's none for trains :( Will edit later - So, Britainnia2, there's even a Scots Rail Pass, eh? :-) Good infor for my retirement! LOL! Btw OP, I always travelled by train in the day time and stayed at B&B. Never took a sleeper - defeats the purpose of 'seeing' the UK countryside imho :-) And did Mallaig/Oban/Largs/Hellensborough etc on day trips from my UK base :-)

Alternative to carrying a map

by Suet

I have used the TomTom Sat Nav on the walking setting when in town as opposed to standing on a street corner with a map. Not quite the same as Ordnance Survey but extremely useful if you want to know where the nearest hotel or restaurant is. If you enter your destination, it gives you the time you are likely to arrive and the distances involved. A handy tool for planning your route.

Belfast City Sighting

by Goner

The open-top buses takes a 1 ½ hour, 8km round-trip along some of the city's most impressive and evocative sights and includes 21 hop-on/hop-off points. The tour starts at High Street, then visits the Titanic Quarter and drives past Stormont before heading West to take in the political murals and Peace Wall along the Shankill and Falls Roads. The return leg passes through Queen's Quarter, past the University and Botanic Gardens. The commentary is as entertaining as it is enlightening, with the guides making Troubles-related jokes only a local could get away with. You will recognize the buses from others as they are brightly branded with the CitySightseeing logo.The tour bus starts at High Street & Chichester Street. Check with the website listed below for times and prices.

Railways

by uglyscot

2010 found with three weeks to see to personal matters and meet friends and relatives.On arrival at Heathrow I had to travel by Underground to Richmond. Anyone spending time in the London area will find an Oyster card invaluable. It is valid both on the Underground and on London buses. You pre-pay a sum of money and then for every journey touch a pad before entering the Underground or by the driver of a bus. This records where the journey begins.After finishing my stay in London, I went to King's Cross Station to travel to Inverness. I used the East Coast Railway which follows, obviously the east route. This took us past Peterborough, York, Newcastle and Berwick on Tweed before crossing the border into Scotland. The scenery varied from canals with brightly coloured barges on them, industrial towns with smoking furnaces, fields of rape, rolling countryside with villages dotted here and...
