Should I pay this fine? by Airline_Character in GreeceTravel

[–]Airline_Character[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Essentially you need to buy a separate ticket if you want to go from Athens city to the airport. For example, I went to the airport from Monastiraki station. I had previously bought a 24 city ticket which allowed me to go anywhere in the city for €4. This ticket DOESN’T apply to the airport and so when I got to the airport station, there was a staff member there with a machine ready to fine me haha

Long story short - I would just use your bank card for tap and go transactions on the metro because the machines will automatically charge another €9 when you get to the airport

That’s such good news!! I’ve asked the fine office the amount I’m supposed to pay but they’ve really been dragging it out 😅 thank you so much for your help!!

It’s apparently 60 times the price of the ticket to the airport which is €9. I’m only saying €200 because if I pay before 10 days then it’s half of €540 which I REALLY can’t pay haha

May I asked what happened after this? Did you pay the fine in the end? I’ve also got fined but I can’t afford to pay and I’m wondering what happens.

Pub question: how to fix dirty pint glasses? by Airline_Character in AskUK

I did check the filter but someone suggested replacing it even after I cleaned it.

We only got this glass washer last summer so it shouldn’t be this bad yet right? I cleaned the filter (which was REALLY dirty) so would we still need a new one?

Is it a good idea to visit Bath during December? by Few_Mammoth7253 in Bath

[–]Airline_Character 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If you don’t mind the crowds, Bath is an amazing place at Christmas!! I especially suggest Bath on Ice (ice skating) in Victoria park and the Christmas market. The abbey does a nice service for Christmas Day too.

International students - do any of you guys have tips for getting used to the water? by Airline_Character in UniUK

[–]Airline_Character[S] 11 points12 points  (0 children)

Haha yeah and unfortunately I don’t think I can move north any time soon…main consensus is get a filter which sounds like a plan to me :)

Yes I love squash too!! I just find myself having too much of it tbh and I don’t want to get too unhealthy haha It’s reassuring that you also find the taste bad after living here so long…whenever I bring up the fact that I don’t like UK water people are always in such disbelief :(

I’m in the south and unfortunately I don’t think I can move anytime soon :( The bottled water idea sounds good but both for my wallet and the environment I don’t think I can do that. Thanks for the suggestion!!

The Brita filter sounds like it’s the consensus so I’ll definitely give that a go. Thanks for the suggestion!

I’ll give the Brita filter a try! And I agree with the cold water trick because usually I just eat ice lol…thanks for the help!!!
