    The joke is probably the awkward translation, but I’m shocked at that price for a flight and hotel

      Yeah, flying around Europe / UK can be pretty damn cheap if you book in advance and with a low cost airline. Normally it ends up costing more, because if you want hold luggage that’s another £40, and if you want to sit with your friends that’s £15, etc.

      But if you’re traveling light it’s often cheaper to fly to another country than take train in your own. Which isn’t great…

      Yeah flights that cheap don’t exist in Canada. You haven’t even covered the airport fees at that price.

      I’m more shocked at the price of the train to Luton, haha! They must have booked all that stuff ages ahead. But otherwise yeah, these are fairly normal prices if you do plan even a few months ahead and outside of holidays.
