would it not have been cheaper/quicker to fly to belfast?
And this question from the lady who's been known to travel from Bristol to Bath by way of Beachey Head to get a window seat with a table in First Class
I have a considerable amount of heavy equipment with me - in the past, such trips have always been with the car, on the ferry. With a wheelie bag, if I can cut down sufficiently to allow me to use train / boat and keeping the stuff with me, but I can't cut down enough to fly; I recall a flight to the middle east where my excess baggage fee one way exceeded my return ticket price. I'm also concerned at the saftey of all my stuff in the hands of the airlines, and their possible concern about what it is security wise.
Headlines fares ... not bad. Have spent more than I would on a flight, but have not had to pay for airport parking, hotel last night (slept on boat), breakfasts, evening meals which would all have been extras.
