No Fly Route

Taking the long way around.

No Fly Route embraces the journey of travelling without flying, sharing real overland routes using trains, ferries and buses.

From Ireland to mainland Europe and beyond, this channel explores what travel looks like when the journey itself becomes part of the highlight. Each trip follows real routes, showing how different cities and regions can be connected without boarding a plane.

Along the way you’ll see the experience of the journey - overnight ferries, early morning trains, quiet stations and long routes across countries, alongside practical insights for anyone curious about trying similar trips themselves.

If you’re interested in slow travel, unusual routes and seeing how far you can go without flying, welcome to No Fly Route
