If you're on a tight budget, it's best to leave arriving at Frankfurt Airport until later - the food prices there are exorbitant. The cheapest flights of national carriers from FFM to the UK are usually via KLM. If you travel out to Hahn, there's also a costly coach ticket to get you there, and Hahn is really run down these days. Sometimes it's easier to get a coach to Cologne airport and fly to Manchester, where you can catch an onward coach or train. If you're really adventurous, catch a coach/train up to Düsseldorf and fly from there. BTW: Many years ago, FFM airport had a cinema, so you could take in a movie to kill time.

Apart from saving a lot of money this journey certainly provides some adventure. The worst part for me would be the hours and hours sitting around waiting for next leg of the journey. Plus I'd happily pay extra to avoid Ryan-pirates-Air. Well done Scott for calling their bluff - twice! I presume there wasn't a cheaper flight to e.g. London and a train back to Scotland.

As ever, you have my admiration pal, rotten journeys like that are usually cos you need to go somewhere for an important reason, not for KZfaq content! Your channel reinforces my view that if you can afford it, pay the extra money for a comfortable journey with adequate rest and the minimum of hanging around public transport hubs. In general they tend to be unpleasant places. I travel from Leeds to London a lot (Tottenham fan), I always book in advance (so much cheaper) so a 1st class ticket can be cheaper than an 'on the day' standard fare. Complimentary food and drink, first class lounge at Kings Cross... lovely!😁

That was entertaining. I don't know why you gripe on about Ryanair seating policy! They offer a middle seat for free. You opt for a free seat that will be a middle seat. Their booking system obviously is programmed not to put passengers who pay for seats next to freeloaders! Sounds a win-win to me... The marketing is excellent. Persuade people to pay for a better seat. Your solution exploits the flaw in the system, saves money and you get a window seat anyway. Of course not everyone wants a window seat. Some just don't like to see how high up they are. Also the widow seat usually has limited leg room due to the curvature of the aircraft body. And a window seat means disturbing two other passengers when you want to go to the loo.

Hello~ I will subscribe. I remember using Dublin Airport lounge for the sole purpose of shower... I remember the lounge was pretty minimal.. I was traveling from Burlington VT, USA to JFK, to FRA to DUB, to MAD. Strange itinerary but it was cheaper to take the LH to DUB, then Air Lingus to from DUB to MAD on a separate ticket than to take LH from JFK to MAD. Actually, I was on my way to Japan but the reason for stopping in Madrid was to see someone that I had met in Sydney, Australia six or seven years before and had lost in touch but miraculously found on LinkedIn or something. From Madrid, I flew Qatar Airways via Doha to Tokyo. I had 7.5 hours in Doha and I was supposed to be on the "Transit Passenger" bus but I decided to get out and got on the "Arrival Passenger" bus and got out of the airport. I had a good time in town, had dinner, sat in a coffee shop, visited art gallery, souvenir shops, strolled along the water, etc.
