Booking ahead ferry Dover - Calais?

Is it important to book ahead when crossing by hovercraft from Dover to Calais? We'll be going the evening of July 8 and would rather not book to keep flexibility in case something unexpected comes up. But we'd rather book ahead than spend hours in line.<BR>Any advice? <BR>Thanks,<BR>Peter

I may be wrong, but I thought all the hovercraft had been withdrawn. HoverSpeed run Seacats (affectionately known as the Seasick), which are high speed Catamarans). I would buy tickets in advance during the summer months, although you may be okay on a Monday evening.<BR><BR>If you are planning to cross the channel a few times - I recommend www.travel-market.co.uk

Hi<BR><BR>The benefit of booking ahead is that you can adjust your times to match the special offers.<BR><BR>The difference between mid week v weekend, route, night v day can be considerable.<BR><BR>Check out the link on my homepage for details of current offers.<BR><BR>Peter<BR>http://tlp.netfirms.com
