The Olympics is one of the biggest sporting events in the world and to ensure you have a good trip it is best to plan out your 2012 summer Olympics travel in advance. The 2012 Olympics will be held in London. This is a major transportation hub for the UK as well as Europe so travel will be fairly straightforward as long as you do not leave it until the last minute.
London is a busy city and it will be even more crowded during the Olympics. It will not be possible to just show up and find accommodation. Reservations are essential! Book early and check out what accommodation is available. Be assured that any family with an extra room will be renting it out during the Olympics. If you wait until it is too late then you may end up staying somewhere that is not too nice or clean. This can make a great Olympics trip very disappointing.
To get good deals try to book as soon as possible. Most hotels will offer a full refund if you should need to cancel so booking before you have tickets is an option.
Some travel companies have yet to post their travel packages. They will take your e-mail and send information when it is available. Try to gather as much information as possible. Once you have the details do not take too long deciding. It is best to have a budget in place and then choose what best fits the events you want to see and your budget.
Some of the best travel packages available are all inclusive. These packages tend to be the most expensive but transportation, airfare, hotel, tickets and meals are all taken care of. Many companies have yet to post their 2012 Olympic packages. Leave your contact information and then they will contact you when the information becomes available.
No matter where you are from accommodation will be a large part of the cost. London hotels are expensive and there are more affordable options. The public transportation into and out of London is excellent. Instead of staying in the city stay just outside of the city and take the train into the different venues. The accommodation is still excellent outside of London and as a bonus it will cost less. Several excellent choices include the towns of Aldeburgh, Felixstowe, Ipswich, Orford, Suffolk, Lowesoft, and Southwold.
Many London hotels can be pricey and with the excellent public transportation you can save some money by staying outside of the city. Hotel rates are much less outside of London and it is just a short train ride into all parts of London. This can be a good option if you want a break from the Olympics as the entire city will be in athletic mode. A few suggestions include the towns of Orford, Aldeburgh, Lowesoft, Felixstowe, Southwold, Ipswich and Suffolk.
Airfare will be very high during the 2012 summer olympics so book very earlier. See if you can extend your travel days as the fares will decrease if you go outside of the peak travel period around the Olympics. Additionally flying into a smaller regional airport maybe less expensive, depending on your flight options.
