Not a Brit, but nevertheless! Elaine Send a noteboard - 08/02/2010 02:10:54 PM

Which airport do you feel is the most affordable?


Without a shadow of a doubt, Edinburgh is a cheaper city. In fact, it's almost embarrassingly cheap (that coming from the perspective of a Dublin girl who has to overpay for everything).

Would you recommend flying into London and taking a cheap flight up to Scotland instead of flying in further north at the risk of spending more?


No, I would not. Just go to Scotland.

Is there somewhere else (other than Edinburgh) you would recommend that is culturally wealthy, has enough to do for a week worth of events, has a decent food scene, and is affordable?


Dunno :|

Cardiff, maybe.

I know "affordable" is a subjective word, open to interpretation depending on whom you're speaking with. Let me put it this way, my traveling buddy and I are 2 students, with not a whole lot of cash, but we're willing to splurge on this vacation to make it worthwhile.

Any comments/help you might want to suggest would be great. Thanks!


Avoid Ireland, it's eye-wateringly expensive. I recommend Edinburgh, it's a lovely city and the cost of living is low. Obviously wages are correspondingly low but you're not working there, are you :D

I think you need to put a disclaimer on your cost of living statements... Legolas - 08/02/2010 04:27:50 PM 449 Views
