Getting to the Airport

Getting to the airport can be the most stressful part of family holidays. And getting from the airport can quickly make you wish you had never bothered coming home.

If you live close enough or your budget allows, a cab beats public transport, taking you door to door and thus making handling children + luggage a lot easier.

If you're going to the airport with your own car, drop the family and luggage off at the terminal before parking, as parking can often a bus journey away. We can help youarrange airport parking through our partners at APH or Expedia, often at a discount.

We can also vouch for Meteor Meet and Greet, who meet you at the airport terminal and take your car to a secure car park, then bring it back to the terminal when you’re through customs. It shaves off about 40 minutes of finding the car park and waiting for a bus at either end while being only marginally more expensive than the airport car parks.

Finally, if you have an early-morning flight, it may be best to spend the night at a hotel near the airport. Some airport hotels will also allow you to leave your car for the duration of the holiday. We can provide you with accommodation at Gatwick, Heathrow,Stansted, Luton, Manchester, Liverpool, Birmingham and other airport hotels across the country.
