I've not had to work abroad so I have no real idea what the minimum is that I should ask for. So how much would those that have done it demand if working in Holland and wanted to get back home every second weekend?

The weekly commute back to UK is easy, especially if you live near an airport at the other end. -
If you're not near amsterdam then consider Rotterdam as an alternative airport
VLM fly from there to a couple of UK airports
Smaller airport + smaller plane = a much nicer journey
EDIT: VLM are now City JetCoffee's for closersComment

Friday leave work at 3:30pm and be at the local pub in Blighty 9:30pm. The roads are very clear at that time. The advantage of using the car is you can take as much luggage as you wish, if you are running late; you can make up time and if you are tired you can have a snooze.
I found communication between the South East UK to Holland to be much easier than the SE to the North of the UK."A people that elect corrupt politicians, imposters, thieves and traitors are not victims, but accomplices," George OrwellComment

I'm 20 minutes away from Gatwick hence that is my preferred choice. I've already noted the price of flights through there.Comment
