Il be there next Monday, see you all there, and best of luck
Jenny, Eurocontrol will pay expenses up to a certain amount, i think €500. Within 50km they dont pay anything, above 50km they pay train fare, above (i think) 500km theyll pay air fare and train fare, and if a see crossing is necessary (i.e. from the UK) theyll pay for most methods. I am travelling by plane to Amsterdam and trains to Maastricht, then trains to Brussels, London and Birmingham on the way home, works out around £200 all told. But they also say in the documentation to contact them if you are unsure BEFORE buying tickets.
Oh, they also say that you should go in a more or less direct route, and avoid high fares by booking early. You also cant go first class, etc.
Anyway, most questions are answered by the documentation they send when you confirm that you can make the test day youve been invited for!
