Flights
Traveling overseas can take half a days time and can be very expensive. However, a once in a life time experience like this makes it all worth it. Flights cost around $1,100 with 1-2 stopovers. Timings can range anywhere from 9 hours to 16 hours. It all depends on which airline you'll choose.
Hotels
Once you arrive at the airport, you'll need a place to stay. There are 20 available hotels nearby the area. A weeks stay can cost between $200-$600 depending on which hotel you'll pick.
Restaurants
Right outside the airport are 20 restaurants as well. Some traditional British food and drinks include fish and chips, Yorkshire pudding, Shepherd's pie, and of course, tea!
TRANSPORTATION
There are many ways to get around this city. The underground subway system is an efficient way of getting around quickly for sightseeing. If you'd rather stay above, call a cab or even hitch a ride on a red, double-decker bus like a professional tourist! You can always resort to good old-fashioned walking as well. But just keep in mind, if you do decide to drive, to stay on the left lane!
Currency
You won't be using U.S. dollars to pay for your needs, you'll use British pounds!
