Georgina Posted November 16, 2012 Share Posted November 16, 2012 I never used to have to think about the options of going back for Christmas, there was always the plane or the boat from many different places. Now the options are much reduced, going back seems to be in the region of £600 for me boat or plane. I cannot believe how many plane companies are just not going from this end now or within a couple of hours. I was going to use Dinnard Leeds and Brad but that is not showing.Does anyone have any idea how to get from 29 near Roscoff to anywhere north of Birmingham that will not involve mega expense.The boat at Roscoff includes overnights (more expense) and seem much reduced than before.Maybe a long drive is necessary.Cheers Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
andyh4 Posted November 16, 2012 Share Posted November 16, 2012 How about TGV from Morlaix to Montparnasse, RER (Ligne B) to Paris CDG airport and either BA or AirFrance from there? Or is that the plane option you have already looked at? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Loiseau Posted November 16, 2012 Share Posted November 16, 2012 It looks as if FlyBe does Rennes to Manchester, if that's any good. However, I did a search for going out 21 Dec and back 2 Jan and it was mostly unavailable, presumably booked. There was outward on 24 Dec though.Angela Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pierre ZFP Posted November 16, 2012 Share Posted November 16, 2012 Ryanscare flights are available on some days over Christmas from Dinard to East Midlands airport if that's any use. Not expensive depending on what days you travel Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Georgina Posted November 16, 2012 Author Share Posted November 16, 2012 Yes I think I looked at most of the flights that came up blank, but i will look again, thanks everyone. May look at driving to Calais. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

woolybanana Posted November 16, 2012 Share Posted November 16, 2012 Might be cheaper if they came to you? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Val_2 Posted November 17, 2012 Share Posted November 17, 2012 LD Lines La Havre or Condor Cherbourg/Portsmouth are usually cheaper. There is Citijet to London Docklands but very very expensive from Brest and Quimper. Otherwise no idea apart from the obvious local crossing from Roscoff as the last time I took a ferry was in 98 and the last time I went to the UK by plane locally was in 2007. This end of Bretagne is not an easy place to get to the UK from apart from BF and certainly not to London which is nearest for me.My daughter and her boyfriend are forsaking their cars and coming foot passengers from Plymouth for the New Year as the cost is prohibitive for just four days but as they live in the west country its the most practical crossing.
