Big Ramy 1314 Posted April 11, 2023 Share Posted April 11, 2023 So, not confirmed, but my lovely wife is planning on sending me to Scotland for a retirement gift, Also England, my sister lives in Durham. We were looking at the price of flights. Oh my fuck has it gone up !!! I flew over 3 year ago, and the prices are ridiculous now. I'll probably fly out of Montreal, my wife will drive me there from our bit in Ottawa, it's about 2hr drive... Anyone else traveling and finding airfare out of control? Bloody robbery !!!

Prices are ridiculous at the moment. A lot of it driven by the sharp increase in fuel costs. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Was it not yourself a few years ago that was going to swim through shark infested waters to get back for a Scotland game ? Just strap a wee waterproof bag on your back and put the flippers on. P.S. Joking apart, enjoy your retirement you lucky so and so, Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I flew to the US six months ago and it was just shy of £2k. Thankfully work paid. I’m not a big fan of flying having had to do it every week for about 10 years so now avoid it as much as possible.

I went a bit daft in January and booked loads of holidays but I didn’t find any of them particularly pricy. Generally with flights the first 3 months after they are released and the last 3 weeks before departure is when they are at their most expensive. In between times is when you’ll usually get the best deal but I don’t think there is as much leeway with transatlantic flights. What about Transat Air? Are they still on the go? My uncle lives in Ontario and over the last few years has always used them. The last time I toyed with going over to see him they were the cheapest but Air Canada were fuckin ridiculous! Good luck!

Ally Bongo Posted April 12, 2023 Share Posted April 12, 2023 In 2005 i went from Glasgow to Houston, Texas via Newark with an open end 30 day return - was when Continental ran a route It was as cheap as shite - about £350ish i think - and the leg from Newark to Houston was a Boeing 777 with about 14 folk on it Mental Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
