How to get here by Plane:

If you are travelling by plane, there are several options to consider based on your needs and price range. The Bride and Groom's suggestion is to fly out from London Stansted Airport to Brindisi Airport. Feel free to navigate our suggestions or to contact your trusted travel agency for better deals. Please do not panic if you are struggling to find good flights at the moment. Many companies release flights later on during the year, and great deals are still available 1 month before your expected journey. Here is a list of the best routes: - Direct flight from Manchester to Brindisi (Ryanair) - probably the easiest - Direct flight from London Stansted to Brindisi (Ryanair) - probably the most affordable - Connection flight through Zurich or Paris (SWISS. Air France, ITA) - Connection flights through Albania or Croatia. Brindisi Airport is also known as "Aeroporto del Salento". Alternatively, you can fly to Bari-Karol Wojtyla Airport (further away from Lecce). If you are planning to visit other areas in Italy, you can consider the following options: - Flying to Bergamo (Milan): landing in Bergamo is easier than landing at any other Milan airport if you want to visit Milan or if you wish to visit Bergamo and Lake Como. Then fly from Bergamo (Milan) to Brindisi. Ryanair offers regular flights from Manchester to Bergamo and from Bergamo to Brindisi and back. Connections from other Milan airports are offered by EasyJet. - Flying to Rome and then to Brindisi. Please be mindful that some companies offer self-transfer flights between the two airports in Rome. When travelling from abroad, you generally land at Ciampino airport, but to fly to Brindisi, you generally need to fly from Fiumicino airport. You can consider travelling by train between Rome and Lecce. - Flying to Naples and then continuing toward Brindisi Airport (or Lecce if you decide to travel by train). Perfect if you wish to visit Naples, Sorrento, Amalfi, Ischia, Capri, Pompeii and Herculaneum.
