Airport CarParkz - yez Pleaz

Advantages: Close to the airport, fast and cheap
Disadvantages: Min. 48 hours stay, they park your car.

...-stay at a higher price. Medium-stay standard price is £13 a day and long-stay is £11 a day. So if you want to use the official car parks be sure to book in advance. I recommend to check out the Luton Airport website www.london-luton.co.uk . For this weekend they were offering 2 days short stay for £22, medium at £13.30 and long for £9.95. Prices vary by date but pre-booking will always save you money. Warning - Watch out for the parking option on easyJet's website. Despite their 'can't buy cheaper' promise, when I looked the best they had for the same weekend in short-stay was £36 - i.e. £14 more than booking direct with the airport. I have been tempted to call their bluff and book with two different sites but experience suggests that getting a refund out of easyJet is far from easy. The short-stay is within sight of the terminal and should...

Review of Airport Carparkz at Luton Airport

On The Doorstep Of Heathrow Airport

Advantages: nice rooms, convenient location, lovely pool bar
Disadvantages: Parking and food were a little on the expensive side

...unable to comment on the quality of the food. We enjoyed a drink at the poolside bar which had a very inviting atmosphere, very relaxed and well decorated with palm trees and little bridges connecting the various sections. Again though, the prices were a little steep, we bought a beer and a cocktail and the bill came to £16! Location and surroundings The Sheraton Skyline was easy to find, we printed off some directions from their website and literally followed them right to the doorstep. In the morning, it only took us ten minutes in the car to reach Heathrow Airport. Finally I would highly recommend this hotel for people wanting to stay nearby to Heathrow airport, although be aware that the food inside the hotel is expensive and so is the parking but you would expect high rates of parking in London anyway. I felt that I got a really...

Airparks Car Parks Gatwick Airport

Advantages: Affordable and Reliable
Disadvantages: Once got date of return wrong, but were resolved this quickly

...Airparks is a company that runs a long term car parking facility at Gatwick Airport. I have used them on 3 different occasions when going on holiday. I usually prefer to use public transport to and from the airport but when the flight returns quite late I like to drive back. To book visit their website (www.airparks.co.uk), select the dates that you are looking to park for and they will quote a price. For 6 days this is in the region of £27 or £4.50 per day, so is not too bad. They are listed on several cashback sites, such as quidco and topcashback, so you can get around 10% of this back. You can pay by credit or debit card (credit cards have a £1.50 fee) and once payment has gone through you are sent a confirmation email with a reference number that you have to take with you when you go. The car park itself is located just off the A...

Review of Gatwick Airport Parking

I believe I can fly ...... TO LONDON !!!

Advantages: Location, Variety of Shops & Restaurants, Public Transport Links
Disadvantages: Expensive Bars, Limited Flights,

.... The check in process was extremely efficient as you would expect. So having checked in I decided to have a detailed look at the various facilities available prior to going through passport control to the departure lounge. ***** Bureau de Change / Banking facilities ***** Travelex operates the Bureaux de Change at London City Airport which is located in the terminal concourse on the ground floor, to the left of the entry / exit doors. Further bureau de change are also located in the departure lounge, next to Hughes and Hughes and also in the international arrivals hall on the right hand side as you enter. At the time I was departing queues at this facility were non-existant ***** Car Hire ***** Although I didn't hire a car, I noted that there was a facility to Hire cars through either Avis, Europcar or Hertz whose desks were located...

Review of City Airport, London

London's fastest Airport

Advantages: extremely quick check-in & boarding process
Disadvantages: limited number of destinations served.

...With five airports to chose from, Londoners have the greatest choice of any city worldwide. London City Airport has become the No. 1 choice of business travellers bound for Scotland, Ireland and continental Europe, due to its close location to London's financial district and its speedy check-in process. But it is also a good alternative for those flying from London on leisure. London City Airport (LCY) is situated in the Docklands, 6 miles southeast of the City of London, and can easily be reached by car as well as public transport. The airport offers flights to 28 destinations in the UK and Europe. That's not much compared to London's two other regional airports, Luton and Stansted, and nothing compared to the huge international hubs of Heathrow and Gatwick. But it will serve you well on most routes to western Europe, and flying...

LONDON GATWICK CALLING

Advantages: Car Parking, no noise, close to airport, just what was needed
Disadvantages: Bit small

...Well I have already done an opinion on Crete in general, the hotel I stayed in on the island, and now to continue the series another hotel opinion. This time the Thistle Hotel at Gatwick airport was the first place of stop for the holiday. General ******* Well it may not be the most stylish place to begin a great holiday, but it was sort of essential. We had a flight from London Gatwick airport to Crete’s capital Heraklion for 7:35 in the morning. Coming from the Westcounty it would be a long 3-hour drive to Gatwick to make that sort of time in the morning flight, and not liking early mornings anyway a hotel for the previous night looked a good option. Gatwick airport has several hotels from large chains, so there was plenty of choice. For no particular reason we chose the Thistle Hotel. Ok, so we went of a good reputation...

Review of Thistle Hotel Gatwick Airport (London)

Marginally More Comfortable Than Sleeping in the Actual Airport

Advantages: Clean, Friendly staff
Disadvantages: Uncomfortable camp bed, slow service

...Last year I travelled to Italy with some of my family and we flew from Stansted. Our flight was really early in the morning so we decided to stay in the Radisson SAS hotel the night before. There were nine of us in total in three rooms including two children. -Arrival- Being the only one of us living in London I was the first to arrive. Getting to the hotel was really easy for me, I just took the Stansted express and then followed the signposts to the hotel. It is really well signposted and I actually found the walk there to be quite pleasant. There were rabbits all over the grass and I got very excited. They were just so cute! Checking into the hotel was easy enough and pretty standard. I gave them my credit card to scan and they gave me the keys. However, they did give me the wrong room key so I ended up in the room of my...

LONDON'S CALLING

Advantages: Pleasent stay, good food, central location
Disadvantages: Views from room

...eateries/drinking places and chose 372, which offers carvery selection. I was surprise how hot and fresh the food was. Not only that it was tasty too! We opted for lamb with roast potatoes, new potatoes and three vegetables. However, my only complaint about the meal was the vegetables; they were a tad on the raw side for my liking. That said I ALWAYS OVER cook my veggies. Dessert was for me home made apple pie and cream, while the other half opted for home made cheesecake ? both were consumed without any complaints and very much enjoyed. Our meal for two with drinks cost £29) Hotel: the hotel it situated in the Strand which is in central London and easy to walk to theatres such as the Aldwych, Lyceum, and many more. Come out the front of the hotel and turn right, and you?ll be heading towards Trafalgar square with Nelson, bear left and you...

Review of The Strand Palace Hotel, London

Alicante Airport

Advantages: Good location, decent amenities
Disadvantages: Can't think of any

...I use Alicante airport for my annual break in Spain and find it is convenient and fairly easy to use. It is situated just outside Alicante on the Costa Blanca, around 46.5km from Benidorm. It is within driving distance of Valencia, around two hours and 179km. Arrivals You would probably fly to Alicante if you were staying in Benidorm, Torrevieja, Altea, Calpe, Moraira or Teulada. It is popular with budget airlines such as Easyjet and Bmibaby and there are flights from many regional airports in the UK such as East Midlands, Liverpool, Bristol, Newcastle and Stansted to name a few. There are around ten car hire companies who operate out of the airport including the big names like Avis, Europcar and Hertz, these desks are located in the arrivals hall and can get busy at peak times. There are also local car hire companies who...

Review of Alicante Airport

An amazing car seat

Advantages: safe, cosy
Disadvantages: none

...Where to buy: This car seat is readily available. You can buy it from all the shops you'd expect to be able to buy them from including Halfords, mothercare, john lewis', toys r us etc. What do they cost: prices vary depending up on offers and stores but usually this car seat retails at £100. How do they attach? This car seat is different to many of the others on the market. It clips onto a base which is attached to your car, This makes it easy to get the car seat in and out of the car without waking up the baby. The car seat base is attached by the seat belt securing it in place and a metal leg which keeps it stable. Are they comfortable? This car seat is very padded and so a nice cosy seat for your baby. It comes with a head hugger which makes it cosy and safe for a newborn. This headhugger can be removed revealing much...
