There is a daily service from London Luton Airport with Easyjet Airlines with standard single fares from as little as £29 plus taxes. If you book your flight using Easyjet's Web Site booking facility, you can save a little more than if you book by telephone. This is a no frills service but we have tried it and it is more than adequate for anyone. At such low prices, why not treat yourselves to a short break on fly-drive. There are plenty of car-rental companies at Inverness Airport. Hertz seem to have particularly good rates.

Other Flights are operated to Inverness by British Airways and other carriers.

Many folks hitch a lift (people are very helpful around here, but please be careful and sensible) and, finally, it is a very pleasant walk along the ski road through Glenmore Forest Park past the beautiful Loch Morlich with its fabulous sandy beach for those whose legs do not tire easily. Look out for the memorial stone to the wedding of HRH Prince Charles and Princess Diana on the left (just back from the road) as you walk or drive past the side of Loch Morlich.
