LPL - CLJ direct with Wizz!

gadjo_dilo
4th July 2022, 19:27
He, he.....Definitely your 2000 km WIZZ flight from Liverpool to Cluj would take less time than my 500 km journey by train from Book-a-Rest to Cluj (been there last month - 9h15' :p).


Back to the game: CFR
P.S. 2 options again depending on what's on your mind: railways or football.

Steve Boyd
6th July 2022, 00:17
Railways
LPL - CLJ by train is around 40 hours and the ticket for the bit from Liverpool to London costs more than the Wizzair flight. If I ever go to Transylvania, I'm flying!

Football
0 - 0 away in the first leg isn't a bad result!

gadjo_dilo
6th July 2022, 22:08
.....the ticket for the bit from Liverpool to London costs more than the Wizzair flight.
Wow.....So, it's true! ......:eek:
The other day a guy wrote on fb that a train ticket from Manchester to London is about 300 E and I thought he was exaggerating.
B -Cj is "only" 20 E.

Back to topic: choice

Steve Boyd
7th July 2022, 01:29
A standard class open return ticket (out & back on any train) with Avanti from Manchester to London is £369.40 for the 315 km (2h 10m) journey. You can do it for £150 if you book in advance for specific off-peak trains, but you can't change the train you're booked on for a different one. There are other operators that are cheaper but you're looking at 4+ hours & two trains each way. Liverpool to London has the same operators and roughly the same prices.
