Yes, all the locations are a bit vague at this point!
There was a rumour that the start might be 20km up the road in Nessebar.
And we don't know the starting and finishing points of most of the stages, so can't really route plan for most of the way yet (although these can change even quite late in the day opening up / closing down route possibilities).I hope that the revised manual brings a bit more clarity soon, but I'm not expecting it as they are going to be busy on TPR entries now. We might not get the Alpe d'Huez parcours defined until late spring when someone nips over and has a look at the options.
The flights are not bad. Morning only on the Weds but there's an afternoon flight on Tues or Thurs. Otherwise, it might not be the worst place you'll sleep that week:
https://www.sleepinginairports.net/sleep-guide/sleeping-in-london-luton-airport.htmI've taken a bike on Wizzair before and it went fine. But there might be loads on the most popular flights which could increase the risk of it not getting on - so best to check in early!

I’ve booked the early afternoon flight from Luton.
Adds a bit more to the childcare cover which is my biggest priority/ concern at the moment. Especially as my Nan has deteriorated quite significantly, meaning my mother is providing a lot of care for her. All feels a bit selfish at the moment. -
Loads of coaches from London to Luton pretty much all night should mean you won't have to sleep at the airport unless you want to get into the swing of things early.
I think I'm going to book one of the Wizz Air flights given that Luton is infinitely more convenient for me than Gatwick. Plus all of the Norwegian flights have connections which will just increase the risk that my bike doesn't make it.

Can't believe this is something I can comment on but as someone who has probably slept overnight at Luton airport a dozen times, it's definitely not my favourite airport for doing this. Limited spots with no footfall all night, cold and generally noisy. Places like Stansted or Gatwick are dreamy in comparison. Am actually staying at the airport tonight but at the Ibis budget, is only £30 for a twin room, seems a no brainer for the chance of a few hours peace, especially if you can find someone to share with.

Home of that windmill...?

Did you pay extra for it? Looks like it's another 30EU/30quid for a bike box if booked in adv.

Where?
Start seems unclear to me at least.
