It could be cheaper for you to fly than pay train fare when travelling throughout the UK and deciding between plane or train. To our surprise visiting cities in England, Scotland and Wales could cost less when done by plane. A common misconception is that a plane journey is costly and not efficient when making short trips. That perception is now being shattered with new and improved prices being brandished by airlines. Most people get by in Britain by train or car journey but it turns out that they don’t just take longer but they could cost more than flying too.
Convenience of a Plane or Train
Who wouldn’t want to travel in luxury? Because essentially that’s what flying is when you compare it to cramming on a train for hours on end. Shorten your journey to the likes of Edinburgh or Cardiff with a simple plane travel. You’ll be able to enjoy refreshments, wait for less hours and save money. According to Telegraph flying is now a cheaper alternative when commuting from one UK city to another.
You’re probably wondering what cost efficient journeys are available to take via plane. There are a number of destinations that compare favourably to a flight.
- Edinburgh to Cardiff is £98 on plane and £173 on train
- Birmingham to Newquay is £77 by plane and £132 by train
- Bristol to Edinburgh is £108 by flight or £169.80 for train fare
- London to Aberdeen is £128 or £132.65 by train
- London to Inverness costs £124 on the plane opposed to £161.25 by train
The above deals include return dates too; they are based on a 1st October departure and return the following week.
Although this theory doesn’t always stand true it just shows how many fantastic UK airlines are available to take advantage of. There are many occasions where it makes sense to use this form of transport for convenience. Save time and money with plane journeys.
Making your Way to the Airport
Some people will be located closer to numerous train stations and find the airport a bit of a trek. There are a number of train stations in comparison to just one airport in most cities so that’d be the likely scenario. But a short taxi ride could be worth it for a comfortable journey. If you’d rather drive to your airport then it could still work out as the cheapest choice with our deals. We offer promotions on airport parking for on-site and off-site.
