Extra, extra!

Have you ever had this problem? You book a flight that leaves quite early in the morning, say 8am, because this means you’ll be at your destination for around mid-day. Fantastic flight times. You book it because of this reason. Then the reality dawns on you that you need to be at the airport for 6am to check in, which means leaving around 4am. You check the train times – nothing. You check the bus times – they all leave the previous night and take around six hours, when you could drive the same distance in two.

Bristol Airport

It’s this exact situation that led me to discover some handy little extras, which completely solved this problem and turned my travel into a pleasurable experience.

There are several added extras, which can be pre-booked onto your travel plans, making everything less stressful and cheaper – yes you heard right, cheaper! Airport parking with holidayextras.co.uk is the service that solved the above problem for me, as it meant I could travel to the airport in my own vehicle, arriving at a more sociable time, and not having to travel hours before I really needed to. My car was safe whilst I was away, and ready for me to jump straight back into when I landed back in the UK. I recently used the facilities for Gatwick parking and can’t rate it highly enough, especially for the great value deal I received.

Airport taxis can also be expensive, so whilst they may solve the problem, they won’t help your pocket. Booking Bristol airport parking from Holiday Extras meant I had extra money to spend at the airport, which I took great pleasure in off-loading at Duty Free! It also meant I didn’t have to drag my luggage around train stations and coach parks, equalling an altogether more pleasant experience to start my holiday on.

Of course, there are other extras that can be added onto travel plans, such as airport hotels. I find this a godsend when I have an early flight, as it means I can get a few extra hours shut-eye before boarding the plane, and means I don’t lose a day when I arrive at my destination, because I’m exhausted and want to sleep!

Airport lounges are also a great add-on to any holiday, meaning a quiet, chilled-out atmosphere to relax in whilst you wait for your flight. Unlimited drinks and snacks don’t hurt either …

Start your holiday in the most relaxed and carefree way possible by pre-booking these great value airport extras, and save money along the way.
