YOUR ARRIVAL
Your arrival at Verona airport
Once you've collected your luggage you’ll find your Thomson team waiting for you. Please let us
know if you’re having any baggage problems, or if you need any special assistance so we can help.
Our team will tell you where to find your coach or taxi for your transfer to Limone. There may be
customers arriving from other flights on your transfer, so we'll do our best to keep you informed
of any waiting time before your vehicle leaves for resort.
Transfer to your resort
When your transfer is ready to leave for Limone, we'll let you know an estimated journey time
and explain the route, including any stops or drop-offs along the way.
Generally, the transfer from Verona airport to Limone takes around 2 hours and 30 minutes. To
reduce transfer times, sometimes you may wait for a short while at the airport for additional
flights to land. In these circumstances, your travelling time to your resort will usually be less, as
the coach will stop at fewer resorts along the way.
Just so you know, sometimes our transfer vehicles can’t make it right to the door of your
accommodation so there might be a short walk, possibly carrying your luggage, to get to the
entrance of your accommodation.
If you've booked car hire prior to your departure please contact a Thomson Holiday Advisor at
the airport - they'll be able to direct you to the car hire office.
If you’re travelling to your resort by car or train, you’ll find some information waiting for you at
your accommodation reception so you can arrange to meet your Holiday Advisor.
Check in and settle in
When you arrive at your accommodation, it’s usual for reception to request your passport.
If you have any dietary requirements this is an ideal time to inform reception. Alternatively, you
can contact us on Limone@Thomsonlakes.co.uk and we’ll let your accommodation know before
you arrive on holiday.
Please report any issues or requests you have to your accommodation reception. If anything
remains unresolved, please contact your Thomson Holiday Advisor who will be happy to help.
Safety standards with regards to balconies differ in Italy. You may be staying in a room with a
balcony that is lower than we would expect in the UK. Please take care when on the balcony and
do not lean on or over the railings. Children aged 12 and under must be supervised and not left
unattended on the balcony at any time.
