[quote]Flybe are starting routes Southampton to Cherbourg and Brest in March if thats any help to you, wish it were Southampton to Lorient , but at least we`re getting closer , so who knows.... Regards, Ju...[/quote] Not 'til March next year though....

We live near Portsmouth and have a place in Central Brittany. Now that P&O are pulling out of Portsmouth we are looking at alternative routes. We have flown to Dinard on a few occasions, which is great but this demanded a trek up to Stansted (now Luton). I've often thought it must be possible to fly from Southampton Airport (only 20 mins away) to Guernsey and then ferry/cat from Guernsey to St Malo (an hour away from Chez Nous in France). Has anyone else done this? If so, how practical is it and is it do-able for a long weekend? Of course, if Ryanair or Flybe were to start flying Southampton to Dinard, it would be a dream come true for us; we could be door to door in under 3 hours but there's no sign of that happening in the near future.....   Nick O'D

[quote]I have just looked at the Fly-be site and got a quote for a Southampton to Cherbourg flight in April for £9. Diana[/quote] Diana, what dates? I've looked all through April and couldn't find anything that cheap. Does anyone else find Flybe an irritating site? If you go back a page to try different dates you have to re-enter airport details, number of passengers etc   Nick

We've got a place in Brittany and live very near Portsmouth. The demise of P&O is going to be a big blow. We really like Brittany Ferries but they are often more expensive and we have sailed P&O for nothing by using Tesco tokens. Now we have no choice...I'm sure there must be a lot of people like us on the South Coast who are desperate for Flybe or Ryanair to start flying to Dinard from Southampton or Bournemouth. Perhaps this is the time to start some lobbying. If they know there is a groundswell of support, they may consider this as a viable option..
