Before we decided to drive to Newcastle (about 275 miles from where I live) for UFC80 we were looking at using public transport and the cheapest option was to fly lol.

Saying that tho, the British love to travel so I spose the travel companies are just catering to demand. Americans dont tend to travel outside of America too much, so thats probably why air prices are so much higher there.
