I get a weekly email from 'travelzoo' featuring 20 various holidays, short breaks, theatre shows, etc. Too late for me, as I've already booked for Montenegro in late Sept, but if anyone fancies a gorp at the leaning tower of Pisa etc? http://www.fly.com/uk/deal/?id=Chea... Fly to 4 Italian Cities from London (Return)
It'll cost that to go from Norwich to Liverpool St early in the morning without prior booking http://ojp.nationalrail.co.uk/service/timesandfares/LST/NRW/today/0839/dep Mine, Stansted to Podgorica, Montenegro was less than £80 return. Small wonder that both Ryanair and Easyjet are reporting increased passenger numbers for July vs last year http://www.travelweekly.co.uk/Artic...-easyjet-report-july-passenger-increases.html
When i lived in Brighton i used to go to Amsterdam from Gatwick and i could leave my flat at 12pm and be in bar in Amsterdam in less than 3 hours, airport security is slower now though.
Flying from norwich you can get from arriving at the airport to the bar in Amsterdam in about 2.5 hours with hand luggage. Easy and great fun.
