Rare John Bull Posted April 11, 2010 #3 Share Posted April 11, 2010 As Scotbee's answer, you'd need a train to London & catch the Eurostar train from there, or fly Southampton/Paris One other option is the train to Portsmouth (30mins), bus/taxi transfer to ferryport, ferry to Le Havre (3.5 to 6hrs), train to Paris (2hrs). Probably cheapest, certainly the most leisurely - but probably too leisurely.;) . JB Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare HeinBloed Posted April 11, 2010 #4 Share Posted April 11, 2010 Check http://www.flybe.com and fly. The cheapest ticket is 36 GBP from Southampton to Paris. Regards HeinBloed Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stipmom Posted April 11, 2010 Author #5 Share Posted April 11, 2010 If I decided to fly flybe about how many seats are on the plane for that route? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
moyaroo Posted April 11, 2010 #6 Share Posted April 11, 2010 It is a commuter type plane Bombardier Q400. Flybe doesn't have an easy seat map and seatguru doesn't list them . . . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare John Bull Posted April 11, 2010 #7 Share Posted April 11, 2010 Check http://www.flybe.com and fly. The cheapest ticket is 36 GBP from Southampton to Paris. Regards HeinBloed Like all no-frills carriers, be wary about Flybe ticket prices. You can get a one-way for under £18. Except that you can't. Not as blatant as Ryanair's £1 seats which, including fees & taxes, fuel surcharges, check-in charges, luggage charges, transaction charges ad infinitum (all charged per person each way), end up costing more like £100. But run through a dummy booking to see how add-ons mount up. On average Flybe Southampton to Paris costs around £70 to £90 one-way. The alternative, Air France, tends to be silly money.

stipmom Posted April 11, 2010 Author #8 Share Posted April 11, 2010 Thanks for the replys. I have never been to Paris but I'll save it for another time. Last year we spent five days in London after our cruise. We loved London and had hoped to come back some day. Will probably just add on some days in London.

It's much more easier to do a day trip from Paris by EUROSTAR train then doing Southampton - Paris - London. Regards HeinBloed Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Globaliser Posted April 12, 2010 #10 Share Posted April 12, 2010 the easiest is fly, SOU/Southampton to CDG or ORY airports in Paris, flights by both Air France and FlyBEAlthough one problem is that the timetables are not geared towards passengers disembarking from cruises, so you can waste a lot of time waiting for the next flight.
