Getting Away For a Weekend Trip Abroad? Here’s How to Get from Your Office to the Plane in Super Quick Time.
Some people always seem to be jetting off here there and everywhere at the drop of the hat. If you aspire to be able to leave your office on a Friday afternoon and be at the airport ready to board a flight for a weekend of relaxation then here are some handy hints to make the transition from office to departure lounge as smooth as possible:
·
1. Get organised! The whole beauty of these weekend trips away is that you should be able to travel light and get to and from your destinations quickly and without too much hassle. If you pack light and make sure that you condense everything you need into a small weekend bag that will fit into the overhead locker then this means that when you land you won’t have to wait for your baggage, you can just disembark the plane and get on with your city break. When you are only away for the weekend you don’t want to waste time waiting for your suitcase, so be a savvy traveller and leave with your bag in hand as soon as you get off the plane.
2. Think about your transport to the airport and then home again. The last you will want to do is to get stuck on a Friday afternoon commute, as this could increase the chance of missing your plane. If you work in the city where you are flying from then hopefully there will be a quick and pain fee train straight to the airport terminal. However if you don’t work in the city and you need to get in a car then you will need to make sure that you book somewhere for your car to stay too whilst you are off enjoying yourself. You will need to book Airport Parking. This way you will be able to make your way to the airport (traffic permitting) and make sure you park right by the terminal.
3. If you want to make it as stress free as you can then you might like to consider one step up from the park and ride option (which is where you make your own way to the car park and then get on one of the free shuttle buses that will take you to the airport) and use the valet parking service. Whilst this may cost you a little extra it will help you shave even more time off your journey so you can spend more time relaxing into your holiday. With the valet parking service you will meet a driver at the airport and they will then take your car and your keys to a secure place so you can make your way to check-in straight away. When you return you will be met with your car at the arrivals building.
It does not matter which of the major UK airports you are travelling from, you will find that you are able to find airport parking at them all. Heathrow Parking, Gatwick Parking and Liverpool Airport Parking are all searchable online and will all give you options to help you go from worker to travellers as easily as possible.
