I'm trying to book a day return to Southampton on Flybe but it's working out at over £300, that's ridiculous.
I know I'm getting old, but I'm always surprised that people think that £300 to get to the other end of the country and back in a day is expensive.

Yes - if you want to go tomorrow it's over £300 on BE, but the train is over £200 - and takes over 5 hours each way.

Looking a week ahead to next Thursday, you could do it for £150 on the train - and its still over 5 hours each way, but BE on the same day is cheaper than the train.

BTW, why is a return on the train twice the price of two singles?
