 Poster: A snowHead
|
Guys,
Does anyone know of a website that details everywhere you can fly to (and with whom) from UK airports. I know Whichbudget.com and it is very useful, but I could really do with this covering all airlines. I’m particularly interested in Destinations out of Edinburgh just now.
Cheers
Adam

Don't know of one, but there might well be one. What I usually do is go to each airport's website and check the 'arrivals' or 'departures' schedule, which will list the flight numbers and indicate which airlines use the place.

Well, the person's real but it's just a made up name, see?

Adam,
Not sure about one for all airports, but if you go here:
http://www.edinburghairport.com
Then click on "flight information"
Then "destinations and airlines"

It's not quite what you're looking for, but http://www.skyscanner.net/ might be useful?
Perhaps we could keep track of all the ski-related routes ourselves? There's already a useful sticky thread in the 'Trips' section of snowHeads which has lots of useful links. Perhaps we could add a different thread which kept track of all the different lo-cost roustes that are springing up from regional airports?

Anyway, snowHeads is much more fun if you do.

David Goldsmith, Wear The Fox Hat, yeah I've been hoking through the baa website for edinburgh - its still a real hassle. Its a shame that whichbudget didn't just do everything as its very straight forward and easy to use.
On another point some of these so-called budget airlines are anything but. I'm looking at flights to scandinavia out of edinburgh and the first 'budget airline' was quoting a low web fare of 330euro each way!?!?! cheap as chips or what!

Adam Holt, "Budget" airlines seem (well, Queasyjet does anyway) to operate on the premise that their target clients are simply too stupid to shop around. Shoppers assumption being that Easyjet has to be cheaper, "cos', it's Easyjet, innit"
LON-GVA on Queasy typically £300 odd for weekend trips over winter while BA and Swiss were selling comparable flights for £120. Last winter a similar picture was observed (if you were looking).
Queasy used to have a policy that they wouldn't be any more than 2/3rds of the most expensive equivalent fare. That may still be the case but only if the "equivalent" is club class. I suppose they could justify on the argument that Queasy let you change flights, but still...
Edinburgh admittedly a bit tricky though. I used to fly Air UK/KLM through Amsterdam...

David Murdoch, with one exception, BA have been about the same price or cheaper than Easyjet everytime I've booked for the forthcoming season. Easyjet from Luton are cheaper than BA from Gatwick/Heathrow, but once I add the cost of parking at Luton it's still cheaper to fly with BA (I don't need to pay for parking at LHR). I'll continue to check Easyjet's prices, but if this season is going to be typical I doubt I'll book that often with them.

BA make me go via Gatwick or Heathrow from up here, reason enough not to use them. I can go via Brussels, Schipol or CDG instead.

Elizabeth B, how about reposting into the Travel Resources sticky topic in Trips. At first sight, that site is quite a find.
<<< EDIT - great minds ....... I see you've just done it. Cheers >>>

Thanks for the link, it's very useful. Unfortunately Chambery airport isn't included - wonder why?
