Default I need help - Isle of Man / London

My girlfriend is moving to London and I want to move and be close to her accordingly but the best place I could find right now is in the Isle of Man (please don't ask me why, I'd appreciate if you respect my privacy). I was wondering if there's any cheap way to get from the Isle of Man to London and vice versa. I am basically looking to see her very frequently (at least 3 times a week) so I am not sure if airline companies can make some arrangements with people like me or perhaps it's better to take a boat?

I'm sure if she was living in Blackpool it would be much easier to get to see her but she's going to be in London and I appreciate your help and all advices.

Hi there,

A ferry ride with Steam Packet from Isle of Man to Liverpool (around 1 ½ hours) and then a train ride form Liverpool to London will set you around £100. There is special deals for students and it will be cheaper if you purchase a RailCard.

Bear in mind, that ferries tend to be cancelled or delayed if there is bad weather.
You could also choose and airline such as Flybe with a direct flight from Isle of Man to London (Gatwick) for around £120 return trip depending on the date you are planning to travel and you are advised to book in advance.

If money is not a problem, I would advise you taking an airline as you can be more flexible with dates if you are planning to stay three days in London each week.

Hope this helps!

Don't forget you can get some really good deals if you book train tickets in advance and travel outside peak times.
