We are two big kids at heart really. Duncan used to be my work boss you know! Lol! There are 3 flights a day from Stansted to Billund so a day trip is fairly easy to plan.

Have done the day trip myself, taxis are quite pricey there. You can get the shuttle bus from the airport and back from the road near the castle hotel. Alot cheaper!

I did contemplate getting a bus but my friend Duncan was happy to pay for a taxi.

I'll pass it on.

Yes,it took a bit of planning but everything worked pretty well.

Thanks Wayne. I couldn't resist going on the slide. What a great thing to have in the middle of the town.

Lol. He did make it in one piece

It's definitely worth thinking about. It was a long day, but fun.

Thanks Susan. It was a long day, but very enjoyable

I was impressed how easy the whole thing was. Flights were only one quarter full, if that. I may have to make this an annual thing.

Thanks. It was a really fun day. Ryanair are a very basic airline but I have to say the flights were all on time and very efficient.

​@@iainsbricks It was wonderful that you featured all the personalized experiences one could have with the wristband. Just for reference, basic US carriers advertise fares for $45, but it's only from certain airports and certainly not from larger cities like New York or Los Angeles. As an example, to fly from Los Angeles to Chicago (just over a 4 hour flight) on a budget carrier is around $450 USD round trip, with fares going higher or lower of $100+ depending on when the flight is booked!

It was a long day, but definitely worth it

Thanks for watching Craig

Thanks. Glad you enjoyed it.

It's definitely worth a visit

Yes, I was just pleased everything went to plan.

Thanks for watching

Thanks.

Thanks for watching

Lol. Glad I'm not the only one who does mad things.

Thanks Wayne. It was a really fun day. Just the early start was a bit difficult

Thanks Peter. We both had a great time. I've known about Danish Spunk / Winegums for a while now. It always makes me laugh. I'm sure there are some who maybe don't get the joke, but I'm sure most UK people will.

@@iainsbricks Well i am from the Netherlands but i do get the joke 😅

Hi Paul. We both had a great day. I did visit the Lego House 2 years ago in the summer. It was much nicer weather wise, but I think flights can be a little more expensive then as well.

Yes, it's a nice looking set.

Hi Simon. It was a fun day, but very long. Its taken me most of Sunday to catch up on my sleep.

Thanks Jonny. It was fun making it. Thanks for watching

I had a locker to store my sets, but yes, that is good to know.

​@iainsbricks I think they mean from Stansted airport. You can buy before you fly, so you can take advantage of airport prices and special offers, they'll give you a ticket and you collect on your return

Thanks Carron. Yes, it was a very fun day. All my sets came back in perfect condition.

The Lego store at Stansted was fairly small but had a reasonable collection of sets. Avoid Hamleys though. It's an utter rip off. Definitely worth looking into a Billund trip if you live so close to Stansted

@@iainsbricks I was looking at booking a family trip, never even crossed my mind to do a day trip. But watching your video I’m very tempted to go on my own 🤣🤫

Time wise, I didn't have time to do every single thing in the house, however I had been before, 2 years ago, and most of the attractions were the same. The 7:15 pm flight was the latest flight available back to Stansted with Ryanair.

No. As long as you spend under £390 you don't have to declare anything

Hi Barry. Gatwick is actually only about 30 mins less travel for me than Stanstead. Not sure Ryanair fly to Billund from Gatwick. Hamleys prices were crazy, especially as there was a Lego shop just across from it.

Hi, thanks for watching. Yes, you can use credit cards for taxis. They cost 170dkk each way which is about £13. Access to the main area of the Lego House is free. That covers the shop and the restaurant. You only have to pay to get into the Lego House attraction area, which is located on the upper floors. You are allowed to buy 3 of each of the Lego House excuses at the moment, per person, although this can change from time to time. The customer service desk at the Lego House will call for a taxi for you when you ask them. All staff are really nice and helpful.

March is a fairly cheap time to travel to Billund

@@iainsbricks thanks 😁

It was a long way but definitely worth it. No, nothing special on, just a normal day.

I'd have loved to have done the flight from Southampton, however it's not currently available, so I had to use Stansted instead. Ryanair let you add hold luggage for just one journey as you buy each journey separately. Parking at Stansted was a very expensive £50 for the day. Bag was from ebay. www.ebay.co.uk/itm/225582800177?mkcid=16&mkevt=1&mkrid=711-127632-2357-0&ssspo=5KE1wrDFSTq&sssrc=4429486&ssuid=E1dcyD9_R6y&var=&widget_ver=artemis&media=COPY

Good to hear you enjoyed your trip there too. The only Lego exclusive sets to retire so far have been 40502 Brick Moulding Machine which retired at the end of 2022.

Thanks Charlotte Unfortunately the Lego Billund Airport set was no longer available. The guy I went with, Duncan is a friend. My partner Anthony stayed at home. Duncan used to be my work boss a few years ago! The airline said devices could be used on the plane, as long as they were in Aeroplane mode - I'm not aware of any filming restrictions in the UK or Europe.

@@iainsbricks sorry about my mistake. Your friend seems very happy to go the trip.

Thanks for watching. The hold bag on the was back cost an extra £21, so not too bad. Next time, I'll probably just do what my friend did and just carry everything on in a Lego bag.

Thanks for watching

It's a nice little set

Excellent. I hope you enjoy your trip. Those pirate boxes are fairly large! Unfortunately I didn't claim cash back. I got the receipts and everything from the Lego House, but unfortunately didn't realise you need to claim for your tax back BEFORE you go through airport security. I'd checked my big bag in and went through security before I realised. My friend Duncan had all his sets with him so he went back through to the departure area to get his receipts stamped and had to go back thither security check. He got £31 back, so not the end of the world that I didn't get it also. I'll know for next time.

I was surprised to see how much Hamleys were still a rip off even in the airport. All goods purchased totalled less than £390 so no, nothing to declare

Yes people speak english in Billund, denmark is a country where almost all citizens speak english

Hi Jamie. We flew to Billund from London Stansted Airport with Ryan Air Tickets for the Lego House worked out at about £31 each. Everyone we encountered in Denmark spoke very good English. We got a taxi to and from the airport which cost 170dkk each way, about £13. You can also get a bus though. It's not that far.

My flight was £98 return (including 1 suitcase) from the same airport. It really is cheap to go for the day.

So the flight for me was £34 return, plus an extra £21 for a cargo bag on the way back. It cost me about £40 in fuel there and back from the airport, and parking at the airport was £50 (rip off) for the day, but Duncan paid half. Entry to the Lego House was £31 each. My friend Duncan kindly paid for lunch, the taxis two and from Billund Airport as well as our dinner back home in the UK. My biggest expense was the Lego I bought there. I'll do a video on exactly what I got later in the week.

Lol! Anything to declare? Just some Spunk. 😂

@@iainsbricks 😂

Thanks.

Hi Kate. I have thought doing the theme park, but there's a Legoland in the UK about 1.5 hours drive from where I live, and I still haven't gone there yet. We paid for the trip ourselves. We did it in one day to keep costs down.

Who doesn't like cheap flights?

Hi, no that was my partner Anthony helping me at the Hampshire Brick Event. Duncan is actually my work boss from my last job.

@@iainsbricks I thought it was Duncan tho I just saw a split second in the vlog..he seemed to enjoy his time in bilund
