5 Tips for Attending the 2018 International Airshow
The Farnborough International Airshow is a great opportunity to see the latest technological innovations in the aerospace industry and interact with industry professionals and economic and business delegations from around the world. Here are five tips for making your trip to the show enjoyable and successful.
- The first five days of the show — Monday, July 16, through Friday, July 20 — are open to trade visitors only and will require special passes. Attendees of the Cargo Village Conference will need their own separate pass, which will also provide access to the full show Monday through Wednesday.
- This year’s show will feature more than 1,500 exhibitors spread across 70,000 square meters of exhibition space, so comfort is key. Travel light, and wear or bring comfortable shoes.
- Each hall at the show will have an indoor café and an outdoor food court, and the Skyview Restaurant in Hall 1 will offer a more formal lunch atmosphere. (Reservations are recommended for dining at the Skyview.) Most of them accept credit cards, but if you find yourself in need of pounds, banking and foreign exchange facilities and ATMS are available on site.
- Plan for at least a two-hour commute from London if you’re driving, or one hour if you’re coming by train. A free shuttle is available to and from the show, serving the free parking lot and three nearby train stations. The trade show floor is open from 10:00 a.m. to 4:00 p.m. on Monday and 9:30 a.m. to 5:30 p.m. for the rest of the show.
- Use the Farnborough International Airshow mobile app to find exhibitor information and event schedules, locate on-site services and organize your itinerary. The app is available for free download from the Apple and Google Play stores.
