Thank you very much indeed!

No worries - just a quick reminder - there is less than 2.5 hours left to make that booking tonight.

FunnelTheChill · #7 09.03.2011, 23:22

Thanks for the advice! However, I guess it's a bit late now to plan something.. only 30 minutes left, I will leave that for another time. Always good to know tips like that though!

jrspet · #8 09.03.2011, 23:24

It is still possible to book - takes no more than 10 minutes.

It's really a very good deal. Can fly to Manchester, steal my sisters car and get back to the civilised world.

Do Swiss even let you.....check a bag in for no extra cost?

If you've bought the plane tix, and are thinking of going over for the Royal Wedding, you might be keen to take advantage, whilst you are still abroad, to get a deal on the Brit Rail pass - an extra day for free. Can be used during the purchase period from today 1st April ( no joke sir ) to 29th April, or used up to 6 months later.

Can also benefit a UK resident as a guide ( typically UK residents cannot buy this Brit Rail which is loosely like a GA / Tageskarte )

Prices and booking from Visit Britain here

Extra day can be useful to go along Britain's ( and arguably the most scenic route ever ) West Highland Line. The line was voted the top rail journey in the world by readers of independent travel magazine Wanderlust in 2009, ahead of the iconic Trans-Siberian and the Cuzco to Machu Picchu line in Peru.

How does this work?

Last call to take advantage of the extra day for these BritRail passes if considering a holiday back to the UK. On average the extra day would otherwise cost you a further £50 at the very least.
