Staycation before Vacation
Yes, I need a staycation before we head off to vacation! Well, its not the matter of needing as off… well, needing. Our plane leaves really early in the morning when we’re heading to Athens in Greece, so theres not way for us to get with public transportation to the Arlanda airport in Stockholm Sweden from where we live. The hassel of beeing a small town girl. Or the purks, if you keep reading…
So yeah, we kind off had to book a short staycation, one night at a hotell closer to the airport. No, we didnt have to, we could have taken the car, but no. So we had to. Does that even make sence?
Its the first time ever that we have treated ourselves to such a luxurious splurge, we always find a way to make the flights even though its almost always at the crack of dawn, we have great friends and family and that helps a lot, but otherwise we always go by trains and busses. But not this time, we’re having a one night layover at a hotel.
And do you want to know the best part?
Its all for free. Since I always book our trips through the same site, and I mean everytime, the site gives you points to use when you do your bookings. You can have a better deal when you rent a car. Better prices on some trips. Or in our case, use some of your points to get a free hotel night. Great huh?
How about you, how do you get to the airport?

Vi sover ofta på flygplatsen om flyget går tidigt. Är skönt att slippa en stressig morgon

Ja verkligen! Men eftersom vi bor ganska nära, så har det aldrig riktigt varit ett alternativ tidigare. Men nu går flyget så himla tidigt, så det skulle bli att gå upp mitt i natten… men inte nu 😃

Vi tycker det är supermysigt, och lite lyxigt, att bo på Clarion Hotel Arlanda Airport natten före ett tidigt flyg. Det har blivit 3-4 sådana övernattningar senaste åren. Skönt också att vara på plats när man har en tidig flight.

Ja jag tycker det känns superlyxigt, så det kanske är tur att man inte gör det så ofta så att man får ha kvar den känslan 😊

Försöker undvika flyg som går tidigt så jag hinner ta tåget och sedan flygbussen till Landvetter samma dag. Men ibland har jag behövt boka en natt på hotellet vid flygplatsen.

It’s a good idea to spend some time at the place where you fly off from. If you have to go there anyway, why not?
Anngelic
Vi också, men ibland så blir det billigare att boka hotell och det billigare flyget 😊 Men jag måste erkänna att jag tycker oftast att det är värt att betala det lilla extra för att slippa åka så himla tidigt på morgonen 😃

It is so much nicer to have a hotel room before an early flight, I will have to do it more often.

It feels really luxurious! 😃

Staycation before a vacation sounds like a great idea and reduces the stress of not getting to the airport on time as you’re already there. It’s a great idea 😊

It sure was a great way to save those early morning hours. We usually have like 2 hours trainride to the airport, but with this stay at the hotel we had 2 minutes walk 😃

Sounds like a good use of some free points. Those kind of travel treats always seem a lot more decadent. Great way to enjoy a staycation.
