welshbairn Posted August 28, 2019 Share Posted August 28, 2019 (edited) Just found out that if you fly with KLM to Amsterdam you can get free high speed train tickets to Antwerp and other places. Unfortunately I've already booked and paid for mine when I fly from Inverness in a couple of weeks, would have saved £50. https://www.klm.com/travel/gb_en/plan_and_book/ticket_information/travel_by_train_or_bus_on_a_KLM_ticket/index.htm P.S. This is all bollocks, as pointed out below. Edited August 30, 2019 by welshbairn 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Highland Capital Posted August 29, 2019 Share Posted August 29, 2019 interesting,i fancy bucharestWhen I was there I happened to the be in same hotel as the team. It was the 5 star Marriot next door to the Romanian parliament.

I would have guessed that they would just be bundled in and added to the fare. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The add on for my train tickets would have been over £200 instead of the £50 I paid, so probably maximum with no discounts for booking early etc. You wouldn't think so from reading their bumf. Quote On certain routes, KLM offers a (free) bus or train ride to or from the airport. Just select a bus stop or train station as point of departure or arrival of your trip. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

doulikefish Posted August 30, 2019 Share Posted August 30, 2019 They did a free "anywhere in holland " at one point.You used to just show your boarding pass up to 3hrs after your flight landed apart from travel into Amsterdam.I used to do this when i worked in the hague.It was an effort to try and tempt tourists away from the dam. Not free as advertised then. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Highland Capital Posted September 2, 2019 Share Posted September 2, 2019 (edited) I see Loganair have started flights from Inverness to the East Midlands. Also, I see another airline are doing flights from Inverness to Amsterdam - Corendon Dutch Airlines. Can't say I've heard of them but they're more of a charter airline apparently.

Kejan Posted September 15, 2019 Share Posted September 15, 2019 Any chance of a flight from Dundee again to mainland Europe? f**k knows where, but I've always fancied flying in/out of the airport - but feck paying about £250 for a flight to London! 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Highland Capital Posted November 21, 2019 Share Posted November 21, 2019 (edited) I see Loganair are starting flights from early next year to Brussels and Haugesund from Aberdeen. Also, looks like the flights from Inverness to Zurich have ended as apparently Edelweiss are not operating next year. I see TUI have started flights to Majorca though.

There are infrastructure problems at Dundee, believe it was todo with line of sight for the radar which is fine for private aircraft but not commercial, hence why they scrapped the route to Amsterdam. Required HIAL to stick their hands in their pockets to sort so not convinced anything will happen anytime soon unless the council or Scottish gov given them a nudge. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not sure how Loganair can keep flying to Stansted, though subsidies might have something to do with it. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Different aircraft type, the Dash 8 Flybe used is a "heavier" aircraft as such required a higher level of support. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
