So we bit the bullet and bought four plane tickets yesterday for our summer trip. It was complicated because I'm flying out earlier for a trip with my Mom, and then my husband and kids are meeting me for our family trip. Our daughter has a competition in Atlanta right before the trip so she and my husband will be flying from there. Our 16 yo son is taking his first solo flight and meeting me a day before the other 2. Son and I are flying from Seattle
Ticket prices were crazy (1650 - 1800 depending on when I looked), and over 2k for a direct flight on BA) but we discovered that we could buy one way tickets for less than the same round trip flights, and for my flight and my sons, we also saved a few hundred dollars by flying into Birmingham airport. All of this craziness got us tickets that were around $1300. We're flying Iceland air.
Looking online, I see I can take a train right from the Birmingham airport into London Euston. I'm hoping someone else who has experience with the Birmingham airport, and perhaps the train can give me pointers.
We're only flying into Birmingham, we'll fly home from Glasgow.
