aye, but it takes bloody ages - quicker to jump on a plane to schipol. then you only have a few hours in queues sandwiching getting squished onto a tiny airbus instead of a few hours in queues sandwiching a few hours on a shitty-smelling ferry.

So, with all the lines and traffic, you're saying it probably takes just as long either way you do it?

If it's not a lot of time difference, I'd probably rather ride the ferry just for the scenery and not being stuffed in a plane the whole way - especially after that long-ass flight over the pond.

At any rate, if I can't find cheaper tickets I'm going to be fucked out of going regardless.

Bring limes to throw at passers by.

the plane would be faster by a few hours (at least on the blighty side) - and rotterdam is an utter shithole - so if you can find a cheap flight then go for it.
