A few years ago visiting clients in Dublin consisted on driving to Birmingham, M6 / M42 bumper to bumper, paying throughthe nose for parking, queues to check-in, queues to have my shoes x-ray'd, queues to get on board, cramped seats next to sweaty joe public, holding over Dublin , then visit client and do it all over again in reverse. Time from home for travel - about 7 to 8 hours and cost of about £2-300 for myself and a sales guy.
Now in my DA40 ( hang in there Thierlet ) - one and half hours direct to Dublin Weston - when I want and then leave - when I want with stunning views of Wales from FL08. 30 litres of Jet A1 at 63p/l = £20 each way plus Euros 20 landing fee......and then at the weekend the wife & I go to the coast / visit family. What other business tool gives you so much time saving and sheer enjoyment? The only caveat I have is that you need to own your own aircraft to get full access, use it regularly to see the unit fixed costs come down and make it a modern one with a G1000 or similar + autopilot = v easy and safe travel. Dublin tomorrow - fingers crossed the weather holds otherwise it's foot in mouth time...
