Paul: thanks for your bit. I didn't think you hung around the 'tourist' places...thanks anyways.
By the way, is Harrods all its 'hyped' up to be?

I dont... as i said i dont go into town very often (too many tourists), if i do then i normally start with an early visit to the empire... as such a starting point for the night is leicester square

Its also jus about the best place to start for someone who doesnt know where they are going. You can get anywhere from there with ease, most things you want are there... not too mention for a young man like yourself, if you cant get laid within an hour or so hangin around the bars in the square... then really you should be put down.

Little word of advice : stay away from taxi ranks after 23:30


You cant find time for a bit of culture but you can go to harrods??
Its actually worth a look... dont buy anything there though... too expensive

 

Buy on AliExpress.com

Paul, I got a question.

How much and how long is the train ride from London to Turin?

 

[Respaul]

A train??
I didnt even know you could get a train.... or did you mean plane?

Its about 730 miles if thats any help. Took me 11hours last time i drove.. inc chunnel crossing

 

[jaecole]

I thought you could get a train from England to Europe's mainland?

If not, then yes plane.

 

[Respaul]

You can but i dont know if you can get a train direct to turin.

A plane... easyjet from luton, ryanair from stansted... ba from gatwick

Takes roughly 1hr 45mins

Costs vary.. often free or less than £10 each way (you must add airport taxes though)

 

[jaecole]

Easyjet fly from all London airports now, they also fly to turin now.

If your flexible and book well in advance you can get pretty cheap tickets of them.

Less than 10 P? That's it? Not bad at all but hopefully the price does not speak for the quality of it.

For that price might as well take the plane. How much would airport taxes be?

 

[jaecole]

Oh right I thought the others did too.

And obviously I know its london luton.

 

[jaecole]

Ive never had a return for under ten each way, you'd need to book pretty early to get that.

Airport tax is 10 each way.

It depends what you expect... easyjet and ryanair (prefer ryan myself) are budget.. as such you get a seat on a plane... what more do you want?
If you want food or allocated seating then you need to pay the money and go ba.
It isnt any more comfy on ba, the flights not long enough to need food anyway.

About £15 each way... varies abit

 

[Bjerknes]

That probably will not happen because it would be whichever games I would attend at the time.

I paid £1.99 each way for my flight to turin tomorrow morning... returning thurs afternoon

ryanair are currently offering turin from £0.99

You jus have to check everyday.. it bounces all over the place... i only booked my flights at £1.99 last week

Yeah I would just be looking for the fastest way to Turin possible, nothing more.

15 is not bad though, roughly $25 or something like that. Much better than prices here in the US for a 2 hour trip.

 

[jaecole]

Your currency exchange is alittle off, airport tax alone for a return will be about 40USD.

 

[JCK]

Cheap airlines with their regular offers are one of the best things that happened
