I had a shock when I realise that some of the airports in Europe, especially those budget ones, do not operate 24 hours. They will close at about 2.30am and open at about 6am again when the 1st flight takes off at 8.30am. In this case, travellers have to take care not to arrive at the airport at 3 or 4 in the morning or else you will be standing in the cold for that few hours..! and its really COLD..!!
There are some things that we should look out for when planning a travel.
No 1.
Booking air-tickets early do save you quite a sum of money. Check out the promo tickets and you may sometimes find a ticket to your destination for just 1 or 2 euros. I bought my London tickets pretty late and so I paid close to 100 for a return trip.
No 2.
Avoid flights that are like 7 or 8am in the morning. Usually, they may be 10 euros cheaper than the ones in the evening. But saving that 10euros will also mean that your
holiday gets cut by a day..! For sure this is not worth it. I don wanna regret why didn't I spend another day in London..? Or else I could have bought that thing that I wanted to.. Blah Blah Blah...
No 3.
Camping at the airport in London
Camping at the airport if you have to. If you had booked a flight that is 7am in the morning (London, Stansted), you most likely have to camp at the airport so that you can check-in at about 5am. For this, you will really appreciate if you had a sleeping bag along with you. When you see that the seats for resting in the airport are suddenly available for you to rest, it means that everyone else are getting ready to check-in and thats why they are leving their seats. The advise is for you to join in the queue as there might be just 1 counter in operation at the airport and the process is going to take long.
Buckingham Palace
London is generally a great place to travel, with so many things to see an
d play. Whoohhooo... A 3 day travel pass will allow you to have unlimited trips in all the subway (tubes) for free and its just a great way to get around London.
Do remember to try the fish and chips in London, they taste excellent..! For those who are on budget, a Marks and Spencer meal will fit your needs. Sandwhich with chips and drinks will just cost you 2 pounds. Cakes from London are also nice, not to mention the tea from there as well. Whittard tea, if I am not wrong, is so good that we all took a few cans each. Do look for this brand of tea when you are there and don't miss it.
