Destination?

If you’re looking at going abroad, the hardest thing is narrowing it down! How can you possibly choose between Prague, Krakow, Budapest, Vilnius or Riga when they all offer so much? One place to start is flights. Have a look to see if you can fly to your preferred destination from your local airport and also see how regular the flights are.

By planning it a long way in advance, it also allows the boys to save up for the weekend meaning you will have a much higher turn out then if you are to spring the idea on the guys 2 months before you are due to fly out.
