Which Airport To Go To. Xmas Party

[Mr Mole]

Hi guys & girls, I'm trying to find the best way to get down to the xmas party.

We will be departing from Aberdeen. If wanted to fly what airports can we fly to ?

Dose it have to be Heathrow or are there any other options.

Mrs Mole dose not like to fly and I dont like to spend all day on a train.

So if I can preswade her to fly (depending on the price) thats the way I'd like to go.

Any help , ideas would be most helpfull.

Cheers Mr Mole

Surely you should look where you can fly to first?

Like my local airport (blackpool) flys to bugger all places. In fact you cant even fly to London from blackpool

Was not sure which airports were close to the Xmas party.

Yes but getting a cheap flight could be hard to get for Luton.

Cheapest so far for Luton is about £400

Think we will have to look at Heathrow then

Then we could go to the Ace Cafe meet.

Is that far from Heathrow ??

Not too far, I would guess about 15 miles or so.

[DJ Wozza]

If you are coming down on Saturday the 20th, then returning the following day

Easyjet are quoting

£79.99 for the outward leg (dep. 09:15, arr. 10:40)

£109.99 for the Sunday return (dep. 18:00, arr. 19:30)

these are per person prices, plus any other baggage charges etc..

[Ian M]

Or consider Birmingham - the railway station's next to the airport and it's 40 minutes to MK on the train.

My wife & I flew quite cheap from Abdn to Birmingham & returning recently with FlyBe, think it was about 60-70 quid each.

It would be a pretty easy journey from Heathrow to the Ace Cafe. Get on the M4, head into London, then take the North Circular Road when you come across it.
