Hog Posted December 10, 2006 Report Share Posted December 10, 2006 I might be going to Paris with my girlfriend in Feb. Anyone got suggestions regarding the cheapest way to fly to Paris from Aberdeen? I dont mind if it is not direct. Im looking at around the 24th of Feb, staying for a couple of days.

Guest onlynik Posted December 10, 2006 Report Share Posted December 10, 2006 There is a direct flight from Aberdeen with Air France its quite cheap failing that try KLM, ABZ-AMS-CDG longer but probably cheaper that the BA or Air france.

Cloud Posted December 10, 2006 Report Share Posted December 10, 2006 Isn't the Air France flight nearly £300 return? it was when I checked...I can do you a return for £120 per person Hog if that's any use? That's on BA, with one change. Any particular reason for Paris, though? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Benji Posted December 10, 2006 Report Share Posted December 10, 2006 I would say, Hitchhike.. it's far cheaper than paying. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Johnny Mac Posted December 11, 2006 Report Share Posted December 11, 2006 We flew with Ryanair last year from Prestwick for like £40 each return.You need a 45min bus ride once you land in the suburbs of Paris, but it was no hassle at all.Try their website!

Cloud Posted December 11, 2006 Report Share Posted December 11, 2006 Cloud, Paris is romantic and my girlfriend hasn't been to Paris.Fair enough BA is probably your best bet if you can put up with a 4 hour+ travelling time, plus the hassle of changing planes in either Birmingham, Manchester or London. Otherwise, Air France is the way to go, but it's 260 with them as opposed to 120-ish on BA. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Johnny Mac Posted December 11, 2006 Report Share Posted December 11, 2006 Or you could pay less than £40 return with Ryanair instead?I just checked the site.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Flying to Beauvais is hell. And when you count the cost of the bus ticket into Paris from the airport, plus the costs of getting to Prestwick, it makes way more sense to just pay the extra and fly direct from Aberdeen with BA or Air France. Beauvais Airport is an absolute shithole (it's a marquis). Check out Lastminute or Expedia. Failing that, a lot of the airlines do a major sale in January so you could hold out till then.

Johnny Mac Posted December 11, 2006 Report Share Posted December 11, 2006 What, that whole fiver bus ticket into paris? My god no..... I thought it was a nice change and got to see a bit of the surrounding countryside. I really don't care what an airport looks like, with the whole 10mins I was there on the way in. Worked out great for us.Ah well, can't please them all.And it's not exactly expensive to get to Prestwick.Still a lot cheaper than £300 flights.....

Hardcore Mel Posted December 11, 2006 Report Share Posted December 11, 2006 We were 28 euro each, each way to get into Paris. Plus we had to bus it to Glasgow, then £7 each bus to Prestwick and spent £50 in a B&B so we could make our flight the next morning. Which by the time we added it all up, was more expensive than flying to Charles de Gaulle. Plus we found stress the next morning of having to treck all the way to the other side of Paris just to make a 7am bus was just unnecessary after a great weekend. And if you're stuck in an airport with barely any seats for two hours and virtually nowhere to get food, you're gonna be really irritable by the time you get home. It totally put a dampener on things. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hardcore Mel Posted December 11, 2006 Report Share Posted December 11, 2006 Probably. I guess it's easier if you're not flying early in the morning both times as well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hog Posted December 12, 2006 Author Report Share Posted December 12, 2006 Yeah, I reckon after a 3 hour drive would put a dampner on things. Plus we would have to drive through Glasgow, that is a dumpable offence Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Johnny Mac Posted December 12, 2006 Report Share Posted December 12, 2006 Haha.You don't go through Glasgow.I guess it is a little out of the way though.You DID ask for the cheapest way to get there though you skinflint, so I served it up to you on a plate.

Spoonie Posted December 12, 2006 Report Share Posted December 12, 2006 i did it ghetto with ryanair because we lived in glasgow at the time so it's no hassle getting to prestwick. you're either pimping it large or you're not, hogmonster. what's it to be?! /x Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hog Posted December 12, 2006 Author Report Share Posted December 12, 2006 I rule.Aberdeen to Liverpool on Dontcareair (ryanair) for 0.01p +tax. Then Sleazyjet from Liverpool to Charles de Gaulle for about 50+ tax. Beat that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
