any alternatives to bmi and ryanair

[Kingdingaling]

As Bmi dont do winter flights from manchester to bordeaux we have been looking at flights via paris/nantes/gatwick etc but not having a great deal of luck, we are trying to arrange a flight for our daughter and found one to paris and then to poitiers by train, we're not a big fan of this option safety wise as there are 2 changes in paris, as anyone travelled by train from paris on the poitiers route.

Any help appreciated.

BMI do flights from East Midlands to Bordeaux throughout the winter, I believe, if that's any help.   You could also try a flight from Liverpool with Easyjet to CDG Paris and then TGV to Poitiers.  No change as the train leaves from CDG as well.  All that is required is for one to get the airport bus to the TGV station.  The route is signposted with symbols so it's not difficult.

You don't mention which airport she will fly into on the outward journey.  If it is CDG it really shouldn't be a problem as the change from plane to train is fairly straightforward.

Hi

My mother just did Manchester to Bristol with Air SouthWest and then Bristol to Bergerac with flyBe.

Worked out less than £150 return as she travelled mid-week.

Hope this helps.
