However, for people attending from outside Europe, London is a lot cheaper than most places to get to due to being a major hub. To get to a lot of places in Europe from outside Europe, your cheapest route is often to go via London. (Paris and Frankfurt are also major hubs, but the other countries you mention would generally be more expensive to get to.) _______________________________________________ Wikimania-l mailing list [email protected] https://lists.wikimedia.org/mailman/listinfo/wikimania-l
