Pet hates of holidaymakers
« Reply #10 on: July 17, 2011, 00:52:23 AM »
One of my big bro's and his wife came out here for the 1st time recently.  Cost them a small fortune just to fly from Stornoway to Glasgow and stay overnight in a hotel before flying to Dalaman, same thing on the way back.  
We would have a 2 week holiday for what they paid to get to Glasgow when we lived in London:0 Shocking!!
Outrageous prices...but they will be back as they just loved Turkey!

Janmac..your poor brother, it is expensive enough to fly from Scotland without the added extras of flying from the islands.
Is there anywhere else he can fly to that might make it cheaper ?

Not really Heather.  When we were in the UK we would always drive and get the ferry to go home, flying to the island was not an option as it was  so expensive.  Guess it's just what folk have to accept to live in one of the most beautiful places in the world:(

We were thinking of having a long weekend in Orkney, after checking the prices to take a 50 minute flight cannot believe it!!
So my pet hate is the terrbile costs of flying anywhere in or out of Scotland. :o:-\
