I'm sure a microwave uses quite a bit more. In any case, most hotels won't let you bring a relatively large electical appliance into your room.

While you're at it, ask them if you can bring your washing machine and stick it in the bathroom.

If I remember correctly, there is a 'Whistlestop' shop in the terminal which does most of the important things you might need (toiletries, alcohol, pot noodles & sandwiches).

The nearest supermarket is the Asda, but that is at least a 25 minute walk from the terminal.

It's not a boring question at all - it's a problem we've all encountered at some stage - I certainly did.

I remember my first night gloomily eating a plate of smash and cold baked beans feeling very sorry for myself hoping it would be worthwhile (which it is!) I'm sure you'll be more imaginitive...!

I thought the microwave was a great idea but in a hotel it is very doubtful it would be permitted...a definate risk for a hotel (in my opinion no more so than smoking or leaving an iron on though?)

Anyway I would mention that you will make firm friends with people on your course (some might not be in the hotel and will be based and living there) and get invited out and also to peoples homes from time to time so you won't be eating in your room every single night.

Lunches and breakfast is easy as the other users have suggested.

Good luck and enjoy your training.

I'm assuming all the rooms are non smoking? My roomie will probably kill me going out for a ciggie at all hours.

Any idea how many they're putting on each course these days?

Hi Guys and Girls...

Well I completed my training course. Woo Hoo!!! Groups are 20 - 30 at the moment. We were lucky enough to stay at the Holiday Inn, much better than the Ibis. The food situation ended up being a nightmare, and let's just say my body still hasn't recovered!!! Good luck, and hope to see you all out online...

The easyJet Academy has a kitchen area for students with microwaves and fridges. You can use these in the evening as well as lunchtime.

Asda supermarket is a 10 minute walf from the Academy, and the Luton Flying Club is a 1 minute walk, which serves hot and cold food.

Get friendly with someone who is going to be LTN based on your training course. Most of the LTN crew will live locally and have a car, so you can get taken out for dinner!!

EasyJet Academy....

I understand that the Academy also gives out lunch passes for the flying club (if you ask) that give you a discount and the food is good.

Hey Steve
Yep I heard that one too. Not sure how true it is though. I start my training soon and have opted for accom at the hotel as I currently live in Leicester.
Anybody else on the same course?

A Marks & Spencer food shop has now replaced the landside Whistle Stop shop in the terminal.

Quick update - the Academy do issue vouchers - 20% off main meals Monday to Friday. Only problem is a ham and cheese toastie or a bagel aren't considered main meals. It's not exactly a posh restaurant, reminds me more of a greasy spoon diner really.

my advice

breakfast is provided so fill up on it as much as you can

for lunch go across to the flying club at LTN (out the front door of the academy turn right past monarch engeneering on the opposit side of the road) its a bit rough and ready but the foods hot and cheap (exept at the w/e)

pizza, pot snot, or dinner out for the final meal

buy beer from asda/whistle stop and use a glass from the bar (pour it in your room not in the bar!) coz the beer is a rip off but remember the ten hour rule

pass exams

see you on line soon

good luck
