Is flying really cheaper?

from Simon Calder's Independent Travel Podcast

Director Anna Hughes talks to me about exploring Europe by rail, bus and ferry rather than taking to the skies – ahead of an online event on Thursday 5 February that anyone can attend.https://www.tickettailor.com/events/flightfreeukThis podcast is free, as is Independent Travel's weekly newsletter.
