6 Tips To Reduce Airport Hassle
So what do I do when I want a hassle-free holiday? Well I book the following: Airport hotel I book a room in an airport hotel for the night before I fly. This way I can drive straight to the hotel, get a meal, a nice long bath, an early night and awake refreshed for my flight the next day. Booking an onsite airport hotel also means just a short walk into the terminal the next day. No worries about getting stuck in traffic on my way to the airport. Meet and greet parking Book meet and greet parking and don’t worry about parking your own car, let someone else do it for you. Some meet and greet parking companies have contracts with airport hotels so they’ll even pick your car up from your hotel, instead of the airport. Imagine the convenience of just driving to your hotel and handing over your keys. On your return, you’ll be in your warmed up car, driving away from the airport before your fellow passengers have even found their cars. Online check-in Avoid the check-in queue and use online check-in. Many airlines offer online check-in now, some up to 24 hours before travel, so, for convenience, use online check-in and print off your boarding pass before you leave home. Baggage handling company to transport your luggage Yes, you need to be organised for this, no last-minute packing, but imagine handing over your baggage to a company that will transport your luggage to your destination for you – no fuss, no heavy luggage to drag about, no queue to check-in your suitcase and, the best bit: no seemingly endless wait at the baggage carousel wondering if your suitcase actually made it on the plane. It’s not fun finding out your airline has misplaced your baggage, believe me, I’ve been there! From a convenience point of view, it’s a great feeling to just glide through an airport with hand luggage only. By using a company to transport your luggage, you’ll be one of the first from your flight to be out of the terminal. You won’t have to wait for your suitcase, it will be waiting for you when you get to your hotel. You can even have your sports equipment transported too, and many companies offer online tracking, so you can keep an eye on your baggage. Book an airport lounge This is another favourite of mine. Book an airport lounge to avoid the hustle and bustle of the terminal, the food queues and the stress of trying to compete with someone’s luggage for a seat. Most airport lounges are air conditioned retreats offering soft and alcoholic refreshments, newspapers, magazines, television and internet access. So when you’re feeling jaded and need a pampering, relaxing holiday, consider the above holiday ‘extras’ - they’re a great kick-start to your holiday. Enjoy!
