Disheartened

All I want to do is get overseas to see the girl in my sig. And the cheapest flight I could find? £431. Add to that hotel, food, insurance. I'm just really depressed and angry

Ugh, may I ask where she lives? I assume you are in England.

BTW I can understand, my parents live in Vancouver B.C. and my sister in New York so I know about searching for cheap air tickets. What airline was that BTW, if in Europe you might have tried Easyjet or one fo those low-cost carriers.

Atlanta.

And Easyjet only do Europe flights, and every BMI flight on the dates I want is sold. Great, huh?

Ahh yes I know about Easyjet (I am in Geneva currently) I supposed your sweetheart was in Europe. Yuck, I can really understand your frustration.

My parents were moving and Dad has some health issues so wanted to go help but it is very expensive right now. We need a transatlantic "low-cost" like Laker back in the day.

Don't get any stupid ideas.

Thanks for trying to cheer me up, Avon

Yeah, avoid stupid ideas like in the link Avon posted.

Instead, build yourself a crate and pack it with food and ship yourself via UPS. Second or next day delivery should do.

Let us know how it goes!

Plane! PLANE?!! One of those new-fangled things that whiz about in the heavens, it'll never catch on.

Go by boat, just make sure it's a small boat....and one that has a deck gun or depth charges to fend off attacks by Subsimmers in Uboats.

Seriously though...I feel your pain man, how come she wound up in the States? I thought she was a UK gal...is it because of the tough phase she's been going through?

Sods law that this would happen now, in the early stages of that deal made over the US air routes, before any of the 'Easyjet' group have had a chance to move in on it.
