Is there not a Ryanair flight for 27 Euro?Looking at flight options from Santiago to London around 4th July. Flights earlier in the day are really expensive, 330+ Euros. I have looked at other options, flying out of Madrid,..., but the cost is still about the same. Any tips for an inexpensive way home will be appreciated.
Is there not a Ryanair flight for 27 Euro?
Possibly but it wouldn’t deter me booking a good priceThis might disrupt things:
Ryanair cabin crew in Spain vote to hold two three-day strikes
Move could add to Europe’s travel problems, although airline does not expect widespread disruptionwww.theguardian.com
Bearing in mind that Ryanair's main competitor, Easy Jet, are cutting 11,000 European flights this summer - as @chinacat suggested "let the train take the strain".Good prices 3rd abd 5th too. A sky scanner search on Spain to uk will give you all options.
lliwio-yn-y-wlân then?And compensation rules might leave you in pocket!!
PS I’m a dyed-in-the-wool train afficionado (Welsh spelling!) anyway
My Daughter read Medieval History at Aberystwyth and I have her hand written "Dummies Guide to Speaking Welsh" journal on my shelves which contains all sorts of Welsh expressions - none of which I can pronounce and some of which are extremely rude because, you know, students!Did you get that from Google translate??
A bit different to "the pen of my uncle . . . " but we're sidetracking this post xlliwiedig-yn-yr-wlân?
That’s my guess … though I’m sure someone can correct me
Fi'n byw mewn melin wlân …
I see relatively little risk in buying a very cheap fare even given potential disruption. I assume train will be quite pricey? I am a train advocate too!Bearing in mind that Ryanair's main competitor, Easy Jet, are cutting 11,000 European flights this summer - as @chinacat suggested "let the train take the strain".
I know I would, either that or look at long distance coaches.
That sounds worth a punt - what's the situation with getting from Stansted to London at that time?Hi! On Skyscanner (but Ryanair) only £20 if your flexible with time take a gamble ;i f it is cancelled you've lost £20! and take the alternatives above !

Buses run through night!That sounds worth a punt - what's the situation with getting from Stansted to London at that time?
I had a four hour delay out of Dublin once and by the time I got to Stansted (around midnight) the last train had gone but I managed to hitch a lift down to Kent and then get a taxi (which Ryanair refused to pay for)
I was thinking of the inconvenience caused by a cancellation rather than the lost of the ticket cost. Mind there are worse places to be stuck in than SCQ!I see relatively little risk in buying a very cheap fare even given potential disruption. I assume train will be quite pricey?

Not for me they didn't - I needed to get to Canterbury and the next bus was IIRC about 7am! (mind you it was 2005ish)Buses run through night!

Ha ha yes of course buses not running to every part of the country but a €50 euro fare warrantsNot for me they didn't - I needed to get to Canterbury and the next bus was IIRC about 7am! (mind you it was 2005ish)
I need to arrive in London by late afternoon. Otherwise I have to get a hotel room either near the airport, or in London, which negates any cost savings by catching a late flight.Hi!

Just checked RyanairLooking at flight options from Santiago to London around 4th July. Flights earlier in the day are really expensive, 330+ Euros. I have looked at other options, flying out of Madrid,..., but the cost is still about the same. Any tips for an inexpensive way home will be appreciated.
I've flown both Vueling and Ryan - would pay more for Vueling anyday, anytimeIs there not a Ryanair flight for 27 Euro?
