Getting there cheaply
So how can you cross the channel without breaking the bank. A number of the companies operating the cross channel routes offer incentive schemes to travel more frequently.
Brittany Ferries French Property Owners Travel Club.
Condor Frequent Traveller Club Discounts
Eurotunnel Property Owners Club
Hoverspeed Frequent user scheme
P&O Portsmouth Season Tickets Shareholders also get concessions on selected routes but this may change, currently you have to own P&O 5½% Preference shares with a nominal value of £600.
And one of the most obvious ways of saving money is not to travel on a weekend.
