| Low Cost Flights |
1. Flights to London do not have 13 other stops on the way: Have you booked a coach to London, only to find that you are going there via Hull, Cardiff, St Ives, Hastings, York and then John O’Groats? Most cheap flights to London head there directly, meaning no 12-hour mini-tour of the UK on the journey down.
2. You do not need your credit card details to land or park your plane in London: Driving down to London is one thing, getting into the city and parking is another. The introduction of the congestion charge and increased parking rates mean that taking the car is becoming increasingly expensive. Fortunately, aeroplanes do not have to pay the congestion charge, or parking fees!
3. There are no traffic jams in the sky: There is nothing guaranteed to send moods spiralling downwards in a car or coach than hitting one of the many traffic jams on the roads of the UK, especially when you glance up desperately to see planes above your head, winging their way effortlessly to their destination.
4. Flying is relaxing and stress free: Are we nearly there yet? Can we stop soon I need the toilet/feel ill? Children fighting and bickering, arguments over whether your other half is reading the map correctly. Travelling can be so stressful at times. In the air, however, the most stressful choice is whether to enjoy a cool drink while you read your book or listen to your music in peace and quiet.
5. Flying is much quicker than any other form of travel: If you are heading for a short two-night break, then you do not want to spend an inordinate amount of your break travelling. From the UK, London can be reached by almost every airport within the space of an hour or so, freeing up more time for your holiday and less time on the road.
6. There are many flights to and from London available from a variety of places nowadays: It is not just the case that the cheapest flights available come from the most popular and populous airports. Many smaller airports now offer a regular low-cost shuttle flight into the capital either daily or on several days during the week. This means that many local airports offer a direct link to the capital for your convenience.
7. Clouds do not require ‘necessary maintenance’ and contra flows: There are few things more maddening to the motorist than the sight of mile after mile of slow traffic due to road improvements, often when nobody is actually about making any improvements whatsoever. Clouds, however, do not require such work and as such, flights into London tend not to have their journeys disrupted quite so frequently!
8. London flights are proving increasingly cost effective: With the rise in cost of petrol, car tax, insurance, parking fees and the introduction of such items as the congestion charge for London and the toll road (with more toll roads planned in future), gone are the days when using the car for a trip into London was the cheap alternative.
9. Statistically, flying is still by far the safest way to travel: Safety a concern? Remember, being on the roads is, statistically, far more dangerous than being in the air. It is worth remembering that everyone responsible for your safety in the air is a highly-trained individual, at the top of their profession. Whereas, anyone who can pass a driving test is allowed onto the roads to drive, it is a sobering thought!
10. You get more time to do what you want: Robert Louis Stevenson may have enjoyed travel, but for many, travel is the process we undergo to get to where we want to be. Travelling by air gives you far more time to spend doing what you want to do, where you want to do it.
Your free time is a precious commodity and it is your right to enjoy it as cheaply and expediently as possible and as yet, no form of transport facilitates this better than taking to the air.
