One of my close friends recently found out that it was much cheaper to fly to London on one airline and fly from London to the Continent on another airline. This fact seems to be true regardless of what city in Europe you might want to travel to. What is more, I had some serious trouble with finding a cheap flight from virtually anywhere to Bratislava, so what I did instead was to find a flight to Vienna, which is only a little over an hour by bus from Bratislava. When you travel to the Old Continent remember that flying to Central and Eastern Europe is much more expensive than flying to Western Europe.”
