PostHeaderIcon Going to work in Italy soon!?

I start work in Italy as soon as I have received my passport. Since I already have a job in Italy, and my new employer has proved to them that I do, it is going to be prioritised. I should have it in about 2 or 3 weeks, and shortly after that I will be getting on a plane and starting my new job.

However, I’m unsure about a few things.

I have to fly from London Stansted, as that is the cheapest airport where I can get to Brindisi in Italy. I will have to travel down the night before, as the flight leaves early in the morning and I can’t find any plane/bus/train that will get me there in time, not even an overnighter. Will I be allowed to sleep in the airport?

Also, I have applied for an EH1C card, but will I need travel insurance as well? I am going to be staying in Italy until the end of August, so I will be there for about 5 months. I can’t find any travel insurance that doesn’t cost a fortune. Even insurance with my bank would cost me £90, which I can’t afford as I have to save up for flights. I’m not even certain exactly how much a flight would cost me, as the prices seem to be changing daily. I can’t book a flight until I’ve received my passport. Does anyone know if flights would be cheaper to book a few days or a few weeks before travelling?

I have found a few things on the Internet about the town I am going to - Lecce - but not a lot. Can anyone give me some firsthand information? I am going to Italy to be an Au Pair, but I don’t even know simple things like where the nearest shops or parks are! I’m going to feel a bit useless having to get the parents or children to show me. I’d rather know a few things before I go.

I’ve been told that the weather has become hot and sunny recently. Do you think this will last, or am I better to bring some cold weather clothes as well?

Lastly, I’ve been told I’m not allowed to take fizzy juice or teabags on the plane with me! I am addicted to Irn Bru and Tetley tea, and I’m not sure how I’m going to be if I can’t drink either of them. Think I’ll end up being even more homesick! It was my parents that told me this, but I can’t find anything that says about it. Does anyone know?

Any other information or help at all would be much appreciated! Thank you in advance =)

i have currently been in Italy for a few months so this is what i know ! :

yes you can sleep in the airport although it wont be much fun. I used to travel to stansted using the national express bus to get there, have you checked them out ?

The EH1C card is for medical treatment in the country, travel insurance is more broad, for example it can cover stolen goods to drugs and medical bills to flying you back home in case of an emergency. Mine cost me about £50 however since you are there longer, unfortunately there is not much you can do about it.

Booking flights is usually cheaper the earlier you do it, for example a month before. It can also be cheap from 7 - 1 days before, as the company wants to fill the plane! however booking a few days before can be a risk.

Don’t worry about the town, why should you feel useless not knowing where the shops are if you have never been!? The people who know the most are the people you are going to stay with! you can look on google earth or maps, type the address in and get an idea of the area.

The weather is getting better slowly, but compared to england its summer right now! take a jacket and some jumpers for the rainy days and the odd cool night just incase, but it’s only going to get hotter and hotter, and since Lecce is in the south, expect it to get very hot!

No liquids are allowed in hand luggage on the plane, doesn’t matter what it is. They are allowed in the suitcase, however check stansted’s website, it should tell you all there.

ciao ciao

PostHeaderIcon Airport Parking: Quick Guide For The First-Time Traveller

Now you don’t have to worry about your vehicle before a flight. International-class facilities are available at Britain’s best airports including Gatwick, Manchester, Stansted, Birmingham and Heathrow.

You can either drive in just before your flight and find a parking bay or book in advance. The latter is always the best option because you don’t want to hassle yourself just before your flight. Parking bays are full at most airport parking lots most of the time. You can also save up to 25 per cent on the regular price with an advance booking.

Manchester Airport Parking, Birmingham Airport Parking, Gatwick Airport Parking, Stansted Airport Parking and Heathrow Airport Parking gives you two options based on the time you want to leave your car for. This includes long-stay (up to 90 days) and short-stay (for a few hours) bookings.

Manchester Airport Parking is extremely convenient with the authorities working to make it carbon neutral before 2015. Almost 16,000 bays are available at its eight separate public car parks. These are supplemented by parking bays at 10 privately-owned parking lots. There is a convenient shuttle service available too that drops you at the terminal. You can even get discounted hotel stays or avail free parking offers if you choose to stay in a hotel nearby for a few days.

Birmingham Airport Parking facilities are the cheapest in England including a multi-storey parking lot. A two-hour parking stay at the airport costs only £1.20 for the first 30 minutes. As with other airports, if you go for advance booking up to three months before, you can park for as low as £2.99 per day. Advance booking can fetch discounts up to 60 per cent of the regular parking cost. Incidentally, an off-site parking lot, the APH Birmingham has been awarded the AA/Police Gold Award for high security. It is monitored 24×7 with close-circuit cameras. However, it is about 15 minutes by bus from the airport.

Advance Booking at Heathrow Airport Parking can fetch you discounts up to 70 per cent on the regular price. You get free parking by booking a room at a nearby hotel too. Heathrow also has a business car parking service that facilitates long-term stay combined with a on-demand transfer service.

Stansted Airport Parking also offers the same kind of short-stay and long-stay parking but its unique features include much larger parking bays for camper vans or trailers. But these are very limited in number and you are unlikely to find a big bay empty unless you have booked for it in advance.

Gatwick Airport Parking has also been upgraded and expanded recently. However, the parking is quite costly here. Off-site Gatwick Airport Parking facilities are available at Cophall Farm, Courtlands and APH Gatwick. All these include highly secure compounds. On-site Gatwick Airport Parking options include Parking Express South, Summer Special facility and NCP Flightpath.

Facilities at all these airports include a premium valet or chauffeured service. You are greeted by a driver at the reception who takes the keys from you and when you return, you are handed your car keys with the vehicle standing right at the airport. You don’t have to bother about parking the vehicle yourself. Though, this kind of valet service is costly, it is extremely convenient for single women travelling alone, people with large families and luggage or those physically challenged.

You can compare rates and find good booking offers for parking facilities online too but always book at genuine and validated websites.
