How Low Can You Go? Round Europe for 1p return (+ tax)

Tom Chesshyre is on a mission: to visit a dozen destinations that he can't spell can't pronounce and wouldn't have heard of if low-fare airlines didn't fly to them. Places like Szczecin Poprad-Zakopane Kaunas Paderborn Haugesund Brno and Tampere.
Squeezing into his no-frills seat he enters a hidden world of ex-Solidarity leaders and ultra-cheap dentists in Poland; minus 50C ice-rooms in Slovakia; stag parties and Skype in Estonia. Along the way he learns about the 'New Europe' the collapse of the Iron Curtain the expansion of the European union - plus the fun you can have on a 1p flight.
But Tom also explores another highly topical question and ventures into the headquarters of both Easyjet and Friends of the Earth as he ponders: should we even be flying at all?
This is a funny and thought-provoking book on travel in the twenty-first century.
