Not long to go now until Steve Biggs, our lucky winner of the British Airways and Evening Standard’s Win A Plane competition, travels to Stockholm with 49 of his friends!
We would obviously have loved to send you all on a trip but you too can join in via social media and find out what they get up to on their weekend in Stockholm.
The group will fly to Stockholm with BA City Flyer on 9th May and then hop on the Arlanda Express straight into the centre of Stockholm. The group will stay at Clarion Sign hotel and get a Stockholm Card to explore all that the city has to offer.
One of the highlights will be a visit to ABBA The Museum on 10th May. The museum only opens next week so we are looking forward to hearing all about it!
