Ryanair remains a great option for anyone wanting a cheap regular service to many French cities. Yes, it may be a little on the basic side, but one cannot fault it in terms of convenience and value. I recently flew from Toulouse to Frankfurt with Ryanair at a cost of just €19 (£17) return and without any delays. .

The key to successful, cheap and effective booking is to look out for seat sales by signing up to emails. Plan ahead if possible and book your flights as soon as you can. You can also find some excellent deals by doing the opposite and simply trying to book a next day flight. Any seats not sold may be discounted at this point, so if you are willing to take a chance this could be a great option. And with so many regional airports serving both countries, there truly has never been an easier time to travel to France.
We also heard this week that the Newhaven-Dieppe ferry has agreed another five-year deal. Good news all round!
