Traveling advice

London is one of the most important and visited capital in the world. You can find many offers for discount airfares to travel in and out of London. There are four international airports in London: Heathrow, Gatwick, Luton and Stansted. Stansted airport caters mainly to discount airlines and chartered flights. International airports may also be found in Manchester, Newcastle, Bristol, Leeds, Edinburgh, Glasgow, Cardiff and Birmingham.
Discount travel agencies in the UK generally offer discount prices but with hidden costs, so it is advisable to purchase a ticket in the country of departure. Furthermore, these discount agencies impose restraints in the majority of offers (obligatory round trip deal, rigid timetables and dates…)
To travel around the UK, the best and probably the cheapest mode of transportation is the National Express bus service. Another choice of transportation is the train; this can be a more costly option but is quicker. Both the National Express and the Rail service offer discount cards to students and people between the ages of 16 and 25. There is a small annual fee for the cards. These cards offer discounts of up to 30%.
