Believe it or not, that was a popular road trip in the 1970's.

Which is why I typed 'except you can't travel to India by bus any more'.

Heathrow is a hell hole run by morons with a security fixation, KLM
loses
your luggage so cutting Heathrow out and going via Holland from a UK
provincial air-port is a non starter as well.

Suggestions anyone?


Get a flight from Manchester that stops in an efficient, medium-size
European airport - can you fly SAS through Copenhagen, or Austrian
through Vienna? Lufthansa flies to a couple Indian airports, just
connect through Munich or Dusseldorf instead of Frankfurt if you can
help it.

My sister flew there with Lufthansa from Birmingham.

I'll think about it and if I can get a cheap enough flight I'll try it.

Mind you, she said it was awful, with only one meal provided, and they
didn't turn the lights out for people to sleep.

I've seen things you people wouldn't believe.
Barbeques on fire by the chalets past the castle headland
I watched the gift shops glitter in the darkness off the Newborough gate
All these moments will be lost in time, like icecream on the beach
Time for tea.
