Get a job?
Naw, that'd be stupid.

Hooray for not actually reading the first post, Don!

I think it's pretty common, I believe the people I know did it for charity (I do know a Joe but he lives in Aberdeen and sits about being grumpy and listening to gruff punk instead of hitching).

Yeah, it's a pretty big charity here. A bunch of my friends did it this spring break. I'm actually quite jealous of them. more about it
OP: Zoom airlines is a pretty cheap airline that will get you into the UK, and from there getting to germany shouldn't be too expensive. Ryanair flights go at 10 pounds from stansted to Dusseldorf I think.
Oli:
Aren't the £10 flights exclusive of tax though?
StaedlerMars:
Nah, the flight actually costs about 0.99 pence, but then w/ tax and fees it becomes about 10 quid. I used it to fly to charleroi and back over spring break. They weren't kidding. The problem with it though is that the flights are often at weird times during the day. Mine was at 7 in the morning and there were no trains there that early, so I had to spend the night in the airport.
EDIT: also, another catch is that the airport is usually some obscure airport. Like charleroi instead of brussels, pisa instead of florence, prestwick instead of glasgow, etc.
