It's a lot cheaper to fly with KLM from LBA-AMS and take advantage of the
range of non UK APD flights available from Schiphol than it is to make
your
way from there to Heathrow/Gatwick.

None APD?

What do you do?

Overnight on a bench at Schiphol or take the risk that your connecting
flight will happen on schedule?

You take the risk of course, building longer into your schedule. And why not
overnight at Schiphol if it saves you a packet?

Sounds like you don't do much flying.

I have no wish to make a £500 bet on my arrival when flying to the Far
East...

I'm way past the age when sleeping on a chair in an airport is in any
way entertaining and that amount of money won't get you a night in an
airport hotel.

It's just not worth it if you're having a couple of weeks on the beach
in Spain or Italy and when you're going to India or China and you
already have transport laid on and hotels booked the chaos caused by
missing a flight isn't worth the sixty or seventy quid you save.

Nope, you're talking ********...
