How to choose a good ticket
For most drivers this is the first flight to Europe, so a few rules that save money and nerves:
As few connections as possible. One connection is better than two — every connection is another chance to be late or lose your bag.
One ticket for the whole trip. If all flights are on a single booking (one reference number), the airline rebooks you for free when the first flight is late. Two separately bought tickets are your risk and your money.
Leave at least 2–3 hours for a connection. One hour is not enough at a large airport: you need to get off, cross the terminal and sometimes clear security again.
Check the baggage allowance. The cheapest tickets often exclude checked baggage, and you will need at least 20–23 kg. Adding a bag at the airport costs several times more than adding it when you book.
Choose a daytime arrival. Easier to be met, easier to get to the base, no night spent at the airport.
Agree the date in advance — with the employer and with us. Not every day works.
Do not buy the ticket before the visa is issued. Wait until the passport with the visa is in your hands.
Your employer will meet you and provide housing, but everyday living is something you prepare for yourself. Drivers who arrive prepared earn their employer's trust the fastest.

Why this matters: preparing for life in a new country is your responsibility — and it's one of the first places you can show your strength. Employers value independent, responsible drivers the most — with that attitude comes trust, better routes and better conditions.
Tickets and the flight
After landing — how to reach your employer
If you fly alone — you make your own way to the employer (instructions below). If a group of 3–5 drivers arrives — the employer picks you up from the airport. We'll tell you before your flight which applies to you.
Current instructions (employer "Autokaravan"):
If your employer is different — you'll get the exact address and instructions before your flight.
After you arrive, day-to-day support comes from the employer. For any work, housing or route questions, contact them directly — that is the fastest way to get an answer. Independence and responsibility are your strength here: these are the drivers employers value most, and with trust come better conditions too.
