2012 Summer Olympics Travel - Packages And Travel Deals

By Adrianna Noton

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.

Even during the off season London is busy so you can bet that it will be fairly bursting during the games. This is not the time to wait until last minute. It will be very difficult to find accommodation if you just show up a few days before the games. When traveling to the Olympics reservations are a must.

A great option is to book a vacation package which combines airfare, tickets to events, meals, transportation and accommodation. With packages you will experience some of the best that London has to offer and attending the sporting events of your choice at the Olympics. The all inclusive packages will be the most expensive but there are other packages available and options for all budgets.

Many travel companies are already offering excellent travel packages. Others are currently putting together packages. They will collect your contact information and contact you when the packages are in place. Try to collect several different package deals so you can see what is available. Eventually you will find one that suites your needs and your budget.

Travel agents are also excellent resources for booking Olympic travel. Most travel agents will have options available only to them and these deals and discounts cannot be found online. Travel agents will be the best source if you wish to create a completely customized vacation and trip to the Olympics. Check with a travel agent just to ensure that you have all bases covered. Compare what they offer to what you are finding yourself and they choose the best deal.

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.

Unless you are living in Europe it will be necessary to fly in into London. For this in Europe taking the train is another option. You can bet that the airfare will be sky high even if you book very far in advance. Look at how the airfare prices will change if you travel a few days earlier or later.

You may find that the savings you make by changing your travel dates will be greater than staying an additional night at a hotel. Unlike other times of year booking the last minute will not save any money. You can be sure that all flights into London at this time will be full.
