    If you wanna go by Ryanair or Easyjet then you need to fly into either Stansted or Luton.

    oh scary... 40000 morbidly obese christians wearing fanny packs invading europe is probably the least scariest thing since I watched an edited version of The Care Bears movie in an extremely brightly lit cinema.

    and you could fly Glasgow to Heathrow with BMI (http://www.flybmi.com as well as BMIbaby) from £62 return incl. tax depending on day/time of travel
    So are we strangers now? Like rock and roll and the radio?

    you'd be looking at a good hour on the tube though that way.......i'd go in through luton..........thameslink it down to West Hampstead or Hendon and go from there....saves sitting on a cruddy piccadilly line train

    Getting from luton to london is a pain... just fly to heathrow and get the tube into any station u want in central london. By FAR the easiest option here.

    Right, thanks guys. My mate's putting the flights on his account, so I've text him with the details of Glasgow - Heathrow with BMI and we'll probably be booking them tonight when he's back from uni.

    Coming in on the Eurostar from Paris. Is the London station for that in the middle of town?

    Pretty much. You come in to Waterloo (on the Northern, Bakerloo, Jubilee and Waterloo and City tube lines) if you look just below the river and in the middle of this tube map you should find it :)http://www.tfl.gov.uk/tfl/pdfdocs/lon_con_2007.pdf

    Wembley is NW corner zone 4

    Don't know if this is the case but I know BMI (don't know about BMI baby) have changed there website so it includes taxes from the start rather than adding them at the end which may be why they look more expensive :o

    use the regular trains (same with Gatwick), it's half that price...and you don't have to go all the way to Liverpool St/Victoria, which depending where you're going afterwards might make it far easier.

    so did i get that right? there are "regular trains" from stansted to london? and they are cheaper?

    if that is so, how far is the train station from the airport itself?
    WANTED: Spare ticket of any of the following: Munich, Katowice, Copenhagen, Duesseldorf.

    Please drop a private message.

    i think it's only express trains from stansted into liverpool st - and express fares.....the station is right underneath the airport so pretty close

    lol

    The difference being we can get cheap flights internally in the UK. Like I said 98p return with Ryanair. Got to add airport taxes to that, but it's still dirt cheap!
