Hello, I’m glad I ventured this far into FT.. I rarely find myself in any other place then United and Mileage run.

My question(s),

Next week I’ll be traveling out of Stansted for the first time. I’m excited to see something else besides Heathrow. I fly in Heathrow via SFO on Wednesday, then out of Standsted for Italy that Thursday afternoon. I understand that there is an express from Liverpool station. I’m staying in central London, Lester Square area, how much time should I allow for my journey.

Details,

Ryan Air Flight # FR124
STN – AOI
Depart 11:40am

Second question,

What is Ryan Air like? I try to steer a way from budget US carriers, this is my first trip on a European budget flight. Should I eat prior to my journey? Is it a cattle call like Southwest Airlines is in the US? My guess is that miles is out of the question, right??

Third question,

Has anyone been to (AOI) Ancona ?? I understand it’s off the beaten path as far as Italy is concerned. I’m planning on winging it, arriving with no reservations, is that advisable?

I think I’m done with the questions,

Thanks in advance..
