Theres also the eastern airways service going manchester to stanstead. Used them this week and liked their service.
Their planes are very small though, infact i think the flight attendants are picked for their short stature!Coffee's for closersComment

Grr, stupid timetabling. There is a reasonably priced direct (10hr) flight from Gatwick to Vegas which leaves at 1045. There is a cheap flight to Gatwick from NCL/MME (can't remember which) which gets in at about 1000... somehow I think that's cutting it a bit fine.
So now my best option seems to be Teeside - Heathrow - Chicago - Vegas at about 18 hours, instead of 14.
Are there any sites which will do clever things with trains? It hurts my head trying to find train times to each possible airport that might be at a good time? I'm actually in Durham but I already found I can't get a train to Gatwick in timeOriginally posted by MaryPoppinsI'd still not breastfeed a naziOriginally posted by vetranUrine is quite nourishingComment

I tolerate bmi because of the frequent flier miles and the cost. If you think of their domestic flights as a no-frills airline, you're not often disappointed.Comment

Originally posted by d000hg View PostBut those direct flights aren't every day? I'll go check but what sites did you use?
I used flybmi.com for their flights; thetrainline.com for the trains.
www.staralliance.com is pretty good, but only covers airlines that are in the Star Alliance (obviously!). They will look for flights across the whole network of airlines for you.Comment
