Getting to the UK is the hardest part of any trip after all it is a couple of
thousand miles from here in Southern Spain. Today cheap flights can make those miles into just 2 or 3 hours.
Book your flights Soon. this is the one most important thing to get done. You don't want to start your holiday with hours of delays or
travel to airports.
I suggest a local airport with cheap companies like RYAN AIR, more reliable and on time than either British airways or Iberia and you will
be less likely to loose your bags. The flights out and back should be the first thing you reserve.
Next your first days uk travel either hire car (the best option by far) or coach or train.
Coach is the cheapest and easiest. Trains are more expensive and often very poor service in the uk.
Below is an example journey which with a car would be much easier and cheaper. Also Public transport is not a good option after 6.00pm
many services stop. mornings after 9.00am its best.
