Many travellers opt to take a plane from London to Paris, as many budget airline companies provide cheap ticket prices. But remember that these are what they say they are, budget airlines.  Don’t expect any frills.

A lot of your time is taken up with getting to and from airports these days with the ever-increasing traffic levels.  You will also be charged a hefty amount for parking your car whilst you are away.  Check-in delays and security hassles also add to the travel time. These are just some of the drawbacks to flying. Nevertheless, taking the plane is a quick way to get between the two cities. Ryan Air and Easy Jet have attractive ticket prices for this trip.  But remember that if you fly you are quite heavily restricted as to the amount of luggage that you can take.  If your baggage is over the weight limit you will be charged a punitive extra amount of money.  So if you are not in such a desperate hurry to get to Paris why not consider travelling via a more relaxed ferry ride across the channel.

Travellers who choose to fly are missing the enjoyable ferry ride experience. This includes the breathtaking view of the White Cliffs of Dover and the jagged panorama of the coastlines of France and England. They are also giving up the convenience of having their car with them when they reach the other side of the Channel.  So if you have time to slow it down a bit, why not take the ferry?
