Accommodation and food

  • Hyatt Cambridge
  • The airport has free WiFi

    • ISATRAP. Actually not "free wifi" as we expect it; only for checking flights and whatnot. No emails, no maps, no searching etc.
      • No, it's not a trap. You have to watch a 30 second ad about how great Microsoft Office is and then you get 1 hour of free internet
