Anyone know of cheap flights (or even a train) from Glasgow to London? Going twice is going to be terribly expensive! hehe

Cheers y'all!

Have you tried Easyjet ?

We did yes. It looks like EasyJet with all the tax is more than Expedia is offering just now. Prices for flights are really going up! hehe Thanks though!

I remember reading of a Scot who took a bus and it was really cheap..............

Ryanair? They are normally one of the cheapest going.

(This is William rather than Chelsea)

We spotted that (Megabus) £20 return for us both, Chelsea couldnt handle the 8.5 hours bus journey

Annie took the overnight bus from Glasgow. It was a short taxi ride to the embassy.

That is the cheapest way, as far as airfare, yup, you are going to pay more in taxes than the fare.

did you try opodo.com?

It there a Virgin cross country train from Glasgow to London? Or is it cheap to get to Edinburgh? There's definitely a Virgin cross country train from Edinburgh to London, and if you book in advance and can go at specific times on the direct train, it's pretty cheap.

Just checked on Nationalrail.co.uk. You can get a return from Glasgow to London Euston (no stops either direction) in advance for 36 GBP. Not sure how far London Euston is from Knightsbridge or what it would cost to get there, but 36 GBP isn't too bad!

Unless you can avoid booking at the last minute you are very unlikely to get a cheap airfare unless you are lucky.

thetrainline.com often shows a selection of train fares and routes and may be useful.

I'm a long way from all the embassy stuff yet but it will be the overnight bus from glasgow for me! Will take MP3 player and get some kip on the way down.

they normally work out between £5 - £10 on megabus (providing you book at least 7 days in advance)

couldnt get it to work in browser, thanx anyway




halfway between Glasgow and Edinburgh so 6 and 2 3's




Thanx Margot



Tell us about it, it was almost as cheap to hire a car for a few days.

We have now done some semi cheap flights to standstead thru expedia and taking the Easybus from Stanstead (only £7 so not as bad as I would have thought) gonna do a 3 day trip for the interview. Chelsea has never seen London ( This is William typing btw)

Thanx 4 all you help, you guys are a Godsend

Cheers for the tip...appriciated!!!

np any help we can be we will.
we did the whole Scottish wedding in the states, thats the most complicated thing we have ever done!

did you import the drunk uncles or did you use local talent?

I know its a pain but go thru these and see if there is anything

Cheers everyone! We've got our flights all sorted now. We've even been gutsy and bought our tickets to the US (the price was unbelievable so had to snag it! hehe) We are flying Air Berlin to Stansted and taking the EasyBus into London. We leave this Tuesday for the medical and we think we have everything in order now....will this ever end???? hehe

If you are not a a big rush to get the visa and move then you could always try to schedule the medical the day before your interview and stay over nite. I did that and well my visa was a little delayed but that was mainly as the medical doctor wanted more information but they seem to be good and returning the reports in to the American Embassy for the visas. This will help on the making of 2 trips and the expense but then again staying overnight in London isnt that cheap either:)
