I don’t know about you, but whenever I’m setting up a trip abroad, there’s always so much to organise, including airport parking, airport hotels, transfers, car hire and, perhaps, lounge passes. Well, make your travelling life simple and less stressful by letting Holiday Extras take care of everything. Their award-winning service is used by around [...]
Waiting for your plane can often be the worst part of any journey so if you can sit back, relax away from the hubbub it certainly makes travelling more bearable. Let’s face it, airport departure lounges aren’t great places: they’re usually overcrowded and noisy which is where premium lounges, like those operated by Plaza, come [...]
Safestay, a brand of luxury hostels offering affordable, comfortable and stylish accommodation in landmark buildings and superb city centre locations, states on its website that it’s taken budget accommodation to new heights. Well, we can certainly vouch for that proud statement. During August 2017, we had the pleasure of visiting London for a few days [...]

On arrival, my car registration was recognised at the barrier (not always the case at airport car parks) and I found [...]
Bristol Airport promotes its Premier Parking as being “just minutes from check-in” and I’m glad to confirm it’s not a sales pitch, it’s a fact. Actually, you’d be hard pushed to find a car park any closer because it’s adjacent to the terminal. I was fortunate enough to sample the parking during a press trip [...]
Travelling to the Azores on a press trip, I decided to sample Gatwick’s official airport parking. I chose valet parking and couldn’t have asked for a more professional or efficient service. The booking procedure was straightforward and subsequent paperwork detailed the arrival/departure instructions clearly. One advantage this valet service has over Meet & Greet is [...]
Flying to Krakow from Bristol Airport on a press trip was a delight for two reasons: firstly, I was able to use my local airport (being that I live in Somerset) for the first time in ages and, secondly, the official “Meet & Greet” parking facility ran without a hitch. When you book a “Meet [...]
