Are there group
flights?
Each student must make their own travel arrangements. Study Abroad Italy
has arranged with Waldorf Travel to offer Apicius
students the lowest available student priced tickets. You will find these
ticket prices to match or be lower than any other student priced fares
available. When ordering your tickets notify the agent that you are attending
Apicius. Since the number of student priced tickets are limited,
contact Waldorf Travel as soon as possible to make your arrangements.We
recommend flying into the Florence airport. To do this requires transfering
flights in another European city, but is well worth the convenience once
you arrive. Pisa airport would be a second choice, since trains leave regularly
from the Pisa airport and arrive in downtown Florence 45 minutes later.
Arriving in Rome may save a bit on airfare but requires roughly a half
day to make your way to Florence by train. The same is true about arriving
in Milan.We suggest you arrive in Italy with $200 dollars already converted
to Euro, in order to pay for a taxi, train, food or other immediate needs.
Since students should have already made arrangements with their landlord
regarding the time and date of their arrival, you can take a taxi from
the airport directly to your housing. This will cost roughly the equivalent
of $25-30 US, and if you do not speak Italian you can hand the driver a written
address.
