Planes are cheaper than busses again

After last week's spike in prices, it's good to see that they've moderated somewhat. While the cheapest trip from London to Paris last week was with the National Express (busses and ferry), this week we're back to a flight with easyJet being the cheapest flight from London to Paris...or is it? EasyJet are busy changing their charges for luggage - see footnote. One also needs to take into account the relative ease of getting to the airport versus getting to the National Express bus stops.
