Europe Trip Planning – Bookings

We have finally started making some purchases for our trip to Europe. With the planned itinerary more or less finalized, it’s time to get our flights and finding places to stay. We will depart Toronto on May 7th and arrive in London, UK on May 8th at 6:25 AM. Flight AC856 uses a Boeing 777-300ER and I can’t remember which rows we are in. The 50’s come to mind. It’s a window seat.

777-300ER For our return, we will depart from Paris on June 10th at 11:40 AM and will be back in Toronto by 14:05, assuming no delays of any sort. I know we’re in the upper half of the plane siting in aisle seats because all the windows were taken. Flight AC881 uses an Airbus A330-300 (333).

The multi-city flight was just under $1400 for two tickets.

The only other booking we have done is put a down payment for 6 nights inside a Paris apartment. The apartment is in the 15th district of Paris which is relatively close to the Eiffel Tower an Arc but I believe pretty far from the major window shopping areas. The down payment was 60 Eur and the total bill for 6 nights is 300 Eur with an optional 25 Eur cleaning fee should we want to take it. Here are some pictures of the apartment, I have no idea if it is actually pinkish in color, but I’m guess in it is. For the price we paid, it’s hard to beat. It comes with a cooking area, private bath, washing machine and a sofa bed that converts to a double.
