Cheapest way to cross the Atlantic?

Post by billofdurham »

I had thought of visiting the US and Canada again, so I did some checking on the best, and cheapest, way to get there.

I found that Google had produced some on-line maps so I tried them.

Click on 'Get Directions'

Type in 'Durham, United Kingdom' and 'New York' >Enter

Although it is the cheapest way I have found I am not sure about going to France first (lines 29 to 44) and I am having serious doubts about line 45.

The return journey also worries me on line 23.

Who writes these programmes and, more to the point, who checks them?

Ah well, it appeals to my warped sense of humour.
