Transportation

This page covers four main types of mass transit in which students will use while traveling throughout Europe: by plane, train, coach, and ferry. Listed under each category are some websites in which students can use to enhance their search by allowing them to find cheap tickets that will fit into their tight schedules. Planning ahead is smart planning, and this page is designed to help travelers get from point A to point B in a safe and economical way. Feel free to add your opinion to any of these sites or even add different sites by using 'bullets' or by copying and pasting the URL. We would love to here some reviews of these sights. Safe travels! ===== = Here are some great websites to find cheap flights! =




 * I have always had success with this website. It works like a meta search engine in that it doesn't scan airlines, but other search engines. This allows you to maximize the scope of your search when looking for cheap flights. Just remember that once you have found a cheap flight, go to the airlines website and order the ticket from there. That way you don't have to pay any 'service' fees. - Steve


 * Great site for really cheap tickets, just make a note on where you will be landing. If I'm correct, Ryanair took some Westminster Students and sent them to an airport an hour and a half away from their destination. - Steve


 * I used this website to fly into Munich. I got a great rate and they didn't charge me for their services. - Steve


 * I've never used orbitz before, but I have heard good revues. If you've used them before, let me know how it went! - Steve
 * I booked a flight with orbitz a few weeks ago and it was the best deal out there. Other people on my flight payed twice as much as me. -Kristen


 * Need a flight for this weekend? Check out this sight. - Steve


 * I really like expedia because they are well known, trustworthy, and I've always been able to find cheap flights with them. Also, they won't charge any service fees if your a first time user (at least they didn't for me) so take advantage of the opportunity! - Steve


 * Never heard of this site before, but it looks really helpful so check it out! - Steve

 * I have used this website to book my coach trips to Wales and Dover. It was easy to use and I was able to find a coach that fit my budget and schedule. Definitely check out this website for any coach trip that you are planning within the UK. - Steve


 * I have heard some great things about megabus, however, I have not used this website myself. If anyone has advice for using megabus, please post! - Steve
 * I used megabus to get to Wales. Good service and very inexpensive if you book early! - Kristen

= Want to travel by Ferry? Check out some of these websites! =
 * I used this site to help me plan my journey to Oxford. The Oxford Tube runs day and night between London and Oxford. Using the 'tube' is great because unlike many other coach trips, the 'tube' gives you flexibility and therefore is something to check out if your planning a trip to Oxford. They pick you up outside Victoria Coach Station and drop you off down town Oxford. - Steve


 * Ferries between the UK and Ireland/Holland and between Denmark and Norway/Sweden. - Steve


 * Ferries from Dover to France, Ireland, and Scotland. - Steve


 * This is a great site that allows you to easily and quickly find ferries between a vast variety of destinations. Seriously, this website is awesome and incredibly user friendly. - Steve


 * Another web site that allows you to scan many different ferry companies across Europe. Not as user friendly as aferry.com, but still a valuable website and one to check out when looking for a ferry. - Steve
