This summer, 20 million Brits chose to holiday at home and tried to enjoy a good old British summer. Now, 68% of them are planning an overseas trip because Blighty did not really satisfy their thirst for sun.
Due to the recession and the promise of sun, UK travel companies were pushing the staycation idea as a real alternative to a week on the Med. But the sun never really came, and so last minute holidays are back on the agenda.
Money, as we all know has been an issue so many of us have delayed booking our hols until we are sure that the money is actually in the bank not just on the credit card.
This money issue has meant that cheap and cheerful package deals have regained some of their former appeal. A break away from the doom and gloom of the office is all we are after, so whether we are in St Tropez or Playa de las Americas, the fact that we are not planted for nine ours a day in front of a computer screen is more than enough.
We want to save money on every facet of the holiday from the food to the transport and this includes getting to and from the airport. If you dont book way in advance, which doesnt really work for last minute holidays, airport parking rates are extortionate and you can pay £30 a day.
Another option is the train. But this can also be expensive and luggage space is at a premium. If you have ever tried lugging your luggage around a packed train then you know better than to know better than to use this mode of transport to get to the airport, especially from within London.
Another very viable option is the bus. We are not talking regular London buses here which we all know are unreliable, busy and with the same lack of luggage space problem as trains.
Instead we are talking about a modern, air-conditioned coach. From just £2 each way easyBus offers airport transfers from all over London to Gatwick, Luton and Stansted. Even if you book just a couple of days before you travel the cost is still low at around £6 each way and the coach will even pick you up from a convenient pick-up point and deal with your luggage for you. Your last minute holiday can be cheap and cheerful as soon as you leave home.
