@Piqla: When I received the first email congratulating me on my application success, they provided a link to available dates to book my stage 1. The latest for me was Jan 29th but it probably changes depending on when you apply.
@Adam28: Thanks for the info, however my stage 1 is at Prestwick. I'm going to take a look around at other places to stay. The Adamton Hotel is certainly cheap but it's not very convenient... plus I'll have to stay 2 nights due to flight times, so I'd like somewhere a bit more central so I can do something other than mull around a hotel, sweating lol.
Preferably involving some form of social interaction/beer...
