If you are going to travel Britian by train, you need to get a BritRail pass! My two trips to scotland paid for the 15 days of non consecative travel. Get it before you go. If you need help, visit Rick Steve's ******* he explains them really well. but get a Britrail pass BEFORE YOU GO! YOU CANNOT BUY THEM THERE
Eos Airlines only operates one route: from London Stansted to New York's JFK airport, and does so in some style, with a Boeing 757 configured with just 48 business class seats.It's a little like using a corporate jet: check-in takes just 30 seconds, you use the Fast Track security channel at Stansted and there is a big private lounge by Gate 7 (used for all flights).There are now up to three daily flights between STN and JFK, and the service is excellent. It's not surprising that the airline has won awards recently.EOS uses Terminal 4 at JFK.

We rented a Toyota Avensis T3 1.8 5 Dr at London Heathrow airport (National Car Rental) and drove around United Kingdom (England, Scotland and Wales) for 10 days. It costs us GBP373.65 inclusive of insurance, baby seat and taxes (VAT).It was a hassle free travel but not advisable to drive into London because of congestion and there is a charge of GBP8 per day to drive in London.There is no schedule to follow. You just drive around UK as and when you like but make sure you have a group of more than 2 perons to share the cost. Otherwise, it may be costly to self-drive in UK.
BritRail also sell point to point tickets, apart from their passes. They have some very good deals for trains out of London, the main touristy routes. However, when comparing prices I found out that their point to point tickets for routes off the beaten path tend to be really expensive! If you plan to use a train outside the main lines, buying your ticket through National rail or simply at the train station will save you lots of money.
As a mother of two young boys (now aged 1and a half and the other three years old) we made the mistake of travelling by underground to get around as there were many places that required us to carry the strollers up and down stairs.If you use a wheelchair or have heavy luggage, or your children still use prams, then invest in another form of transport in London.
The prices are fair,We drove from Premier Travel Inn, to the other end of the city, more specific Towerlands, for around 6-7 £ a bit more expensive on sundays.When we called them to send a taxi it took around 20 min everytime before it was there.Great Taxi company, with very chatty drivers! ;)
For us North Americans, the most common way to get there is by air. My best experience was one trip a few years ago to England in that I flew midweek, off-season and the flight was great!! I flew United for the first time and the flight was far from full. I was able to stretch out and sleep most of the way over and therefore suffered very little jet lag and enjoyed a full first day there after landing in the morning. The return flight was equally as great and I would HIGHLY recommend this flight pattern(midweek, offseason) for anyone who gets the opportunity.JET LAG TIP: For your west to east flight, I suggest sleeping/resting as much as possible before and during the flight over. Change your watch to the destination time, and start thinking that way. When you land, stay awake, get outside and walk, and be stimulated as much as possible, have a good meal then go to bed at a reasonable...
