How to be stress-free at the airport during the holidays.

Summer and the school holidays are just around the corner; in the blink of an eye, they will be here. Many of us are getting excited to jet off on holiday, whether it be as a family to somewhere warm and sunny, a weekend European city break with a loved one, or an adventure-filled sightseeing trip to tick another destination off the bucket list! Whatever the reason, thousands of people all over the UK  take great advantage of the special deals out there and head to the UK’s busiest airports, all with the same intention of checking out and taking off.  We are seeing record numbers out of Manchester, Heathrow, Stansted, Gatwick and more, all travelling to destinations near and far, worldwide, hoping to enjoy downtime without the stress of worrying about anything other than fun, food and frolics!

As demand increases, the airports will be at their busiest, which means if you want to ensure you have that guaranteed spot, you must book your holiday Airport Parking now!   Of course we know that driving to the airport is for most the easiest option – especially for families with all the gear, the less able and the elderly, and those with golf gear or surfing equipment  Driving from your own door step to an airport with your luggage is far easier and often cheaper than unreliable public transport and lengthy airport transfers.

Remember, though, when the airports are super busy during peak times, it’s important to plan ahead to make it as stress-free as possible leaving you time and energy to float through departures on time and relaxed.

• Book today –  when you book in advance, you will ensure the best parking availability and best prices. We always recommend you book as far in advance as possible. The sooner you get it booked, the better the price.  You not only gain peace of mind that you got the cheapest possible deal, but also that you secured your space before they sold out, and you did not have to look for other non-parking alternatives.
• Get prepared – Poor preparation equals huge stress!  That isn’t the saying, but it should be! To avoid stress at a busy airport, get yourself and your fellow travellers organised.  Be sure to file all relevant travel documents together, check their validity early, and as soon as you are able, get everyone checked in. Be sure your car is roadworthy, has enough fuel and is equipped with everything you should need.  The more prepared you are, the more likely that everything will run smoothly.
• Give yourself plenty of time – The golden rule of travel is to ensure you have plenty of time to avoid any stressful rushing or issues with time, when things don’t go to plan.  We know that the airports will be busier during the holiday season, so leave yourself enough time to get to the airport, to park your car with us, or to allow for public transport errors, delays or cancellations.
• Consider Meet and Greet Airport Parking – cheaper than you might think and perfect for families or groups. Meet and Greet Parking is the most convenient and stress-free solution when arriving at the airport.  Be sure to book in advance and enjoy meeting your driver outside of the terminal, leaving you free to make your way to departures.

How does Meet and Greet parking work?

Easy as pie.  Simply drive to the airport departures terminal, where you’ll meet one of our DBS-checked, fully insured professional drivers.  Upon arrival, the driver will conduct a quick check of your car before carefully taking it to our Park-Mark awarded secure car park near the airport.  This gives you and your fellow travellers time to head straight to check in with no fuss or waiting around.

On your return to the UK, your car will be returned to your meeting point, ready for you to drive away. It’s the quickest, easiest and most hassle-free way to park at the airport, and it is not as expensive as you might think!
