The expense of Bringing golf Clubs Abroad
Monday, April 12, 2010 @ 12:33 PM
Once upon a time coming to Spain to play golf was a luxury many people couldnt afford back in the 90's, as i found out from quite a few golfers when living in Gibraltar. However in the back end of the 90's, we were given Sleazyjet ..... sorry easyjet and Ryangotgreedyair. With this Families and Golfer were finding it much cheaper to come away than book a package holiday that could cost a family of 4 over a £1000.
This kind of Holidaying was popular with over 2 thirds of the Uk's population. However i look at these budget airlines this day in age, and i think to myself, "Your just starting to get greedy and penny pinching and also stealth taxing." Take a look at Ryanair for example "FLIGHTS FROM £7.99 EACH WAY" which works out at £15.98 people at first go wow thats good, and yes it is but if your coming away for 1 week, your going to need a Hold all. When you bringing baggage into play that is where they are starting to get greedy. So that will cost you £15 each way so Total Cost so far £45.98. Still this is not a bad price but what if you play golf aswell, Well Mr Ryaniar thinks a Golf set and bag Wigh more than double 15kg so he charges £80 Return.
Thats the price that annoys me the most, How can you justify £80 Return it weighs less than hold luggage. To me its irrational and damn right greedy, oh and i almost forgot about payment, if you use a debit/credit card it charges you £10 per person but you cant pay in any other form. So like i say its starting to be a luxury again for most people as the budget airlines see the pound signs.
So for the people that find it a rip off and are looking for a cheaper solution feel free to contact me,
