Is this ridiculous or what? Passenger 1 Adult Price £ 168.00 Taxes, fees, charges and surcharges* per person £ 297.90 Inclusive total £ 465.90 The BA site will not even give a breakdown of what these surcharges are. |

truly ridiculous. where was the flight to/from? i'm also worried about air fares, as the company i flew to europe with (for quite a reasonable price, considering i crossed one continent and one large ocean), has since gone under. Zoom Airlines. so ... i dunno really what to do. |

Edinburgh-Montreal return on BA. The total price is about as good as it gets, it's the (lack of) breakdown that irritates me. Listing about 1/3 of the actual cost as the "price" makes it very difficult to compare, especially when each airline does it a different way. On getting back, Niz, have you considered working your way by sea?
One of the major container ports might be a good place to try - Rotterdam is probably the busiest. |

when i was still thinking of starting my journey in japan, i was looking at freighters, but i couldn't find a company that had anything less than 2 weeks in the crossing and it all was at least as much as a plane ticket. i hadn't considered it for the return journey... and i've been told by a friend that air transat isn't TOO expensive. it's still a long way off; we'll see what time brings. |
