If all the hype surrounding the Rio Olympics has finally gotten to you and making you regret your decision of not booking a ticket to Rio, then here’s some awesome news for you. Airlines are slashing their economy class fares in an attempt to generate some last minute revenue. If you are flexible and willing to take two connecting flights to Rio, you can find fares from London under £1,000 for a round way trip. But, if you are ready to shell out more money you can get good connections on high quality airlines. While direct flights from UK to Rio remain expensive, the fares for connecting services are widely less.
Like airline services, hoteliers have also substantially reduced their rates. A typical short stay package sold through an official Olympic agent costs around £2,500 whereas the same package can be assembled online for £500 only. So, students can easily afford these three star hotels and join in the fun of this international event without burning a hole in their pocket. Another feasible option for students is to stay in mixed-dormitory style hostels. They can get beds in these dorms for a really cheap price of £20 per night. Also you can use Airbnb, the official alternative lodging provider of the Rio Olympics to snag a room for by paying just £23 to £38 a night. The city is also offering visitors a special transportation card, the Olympic Card which allows you unlimited access to Rio’s buses, trains and subways. Daily subscription for this card costs around £20 but if you subscribe for a week you get it at a discounted price of £120. This card can be brought from kiosks located at various landmark locations in the city.
So, go pack your bags and hop on a flight and join this extravagant sport phenomenon.
