VLOG: LCG-VGO-BGY-BUD-BTS (15h journey) [2 trains & 2 airplanes: Renfe+Ryanair+České
Last week I was traveling from A Coruńa (northwest of Spain) to Bratislava. There are several options to get there but none of them direct.
My first option, as a Star Alliance Gold member, is always one airline of this alliance (in the last months I'm flying a lot with TAP Portugal since they have a daily flight to Lisbon from Coruńa). But in this occasion, at the time I was planning the trip Ryanair offered 1.000.000 seats at 9'99€. Of course, I prefer to spend the money in my destination instead of the flights (usually) so I've decided to check them.
The final trip was:
· A Coruńa - Vigo (150km) with Renfe (national Spanish train company). [13'90 €uro]
· Vigo - Milan/Bergamo with Ryanair. [13'99 €uro]
· Milan/Bergamo - Budapest with Ryanair. [9'99 €uro]
· Budapest - Bratislava with České Dráhy (national Czech train company). [319 CZK / 12'20 €uro aprox]
For this trip I've decided to record a vlog style video, so to be able to show everyone the trip from inside. I'll leave you some images here, but I really recommend you to watch if you have some minutes. I think it's worth to do it.
The spoken parts are both in Spanish and English (including subtitles of the other language).
FULL VIDEO VLOG AT THE END.
