When booking a holiday or trip abroad its easy to overlook the extras that youll need to consider ? travel insurance is one thing, but then theres actually getting to the airport too. Theres a few different options, but each of these will suit different travellers and budgets.
Whether youre alone or travelling with others, there are different types of airport transfer to suit you. If you arent sure of all the options available, then this article should be able to help you.
Train
If youre travelling solo, then taking the train is a cost effective and an often speedy way to reach the airport. Its much cheaper than a taxi, and usually cheaper than parking at the airport, and as long as the service isnt late, youll know the exact time for when your arrival at the airport. One problem about travelling by train is not all airports are connected to the rail network. Gatwick, Heathrow and Manchester all have good connections from their city rail links, but in other cities youll need to arrange a taxi transfer from the station. If you want to find out more about rail connections to UK airports, then you can call National Rail Enquiries on 08457 48 49 50.
Bus or Taxi
Hiring a cab is a pricier option than the bus or train, but it can be cheap if youre travelling in a group over a short distance, as you can split the cost and theres no cause to park at the airport. You can also have the taxi pick you up at your door and drop you off exactly where you want to go, so theres less hassle than using public transport. However, this option is rarely cost effective if you live a long way from the airport.
Car
If theres a group of you travelling, then driving a car to the airport and parking is normally the best option. Parking at most major UK airports shouldnt cost more than 50 pounds a week, so even including petrol this comes in as much cheaper than public transport for groups of three or more travelling long distances.
The cheapest option is to get a friend or relative to drive you to the airport and drop you off. All youll need is a good friend and offer to pay for petrol! It removes the need to park and its a hassle free solution ? providing your friend is dependable.
