10% airport parking discount

April 27, 2017 by Gretta Schifano 5 Comments

10% airport parking discount with SkyParkSecure for Mums do travel readers

Do you drive to the airport when you travel? If so, how do you book your parking? When I flew from London Gatwick to Copenhagen for a weekend trip with my husband recently, I booked our parking through SkyParkSecure. We had an early morning flight and so I was looking for a meet and greet […]

Easy airport parking: Purple Parking meet and greet review

September 29, 2016 by Gretta Schifano 3 Comments

Meet and greet parking, London Heathrow airport. Copyright Gretta Schifano

The only way to get to an airport from our house is by car (unless we go for a tortuous car/bus/train combo which would add aeons to our journey). So, we either 1) get a lift from a kindly friend or relation, or 2) fork out for a taxi (if we remember to book a week […]

APH Meet & Greet Airport Parking

I’ve had some horribly early flights recently and I’ve tried various options to see which is the least grim way to get to the airport at times when I really should be fast asleep in bed. Airport hotels When we went on a family trip to Croatia at Easter we had to check in at […]

Hampton by Hilton London Gatwick Park and Fly

Our flight from London Gatwick to Dubrovnik was scheduled to leave at 6.50am. That would mean waking the kids up up far too early in order to reach the airport and check in at 4.50am. I wasn’t looking forward to a pre-dawn start to our Easter trip to Croatia. Hampton by Hilton London Gatwick Park […]

APH Meet & Greet airport parking

November 10, 2014 by Gretta Schifano Leave a Comment

My favourite way to get to London Gatwick, my local airport, is to be driven there by my lovely husband. That doesn’t happen often (he has a very full-time job, after all) and so the next best thing for me is valet parking. Valet parking Valet parking is a splendid idea. It involves driving to […]

An overnight stay at an airport hotel can be a good option if you have an early morning flight, especially if you live a long way from the airport you’re travelling from. I live 20 minutes from London Gatwick and so prefer to travel from there but the last time I flew from Stansted I […]

Meet & greet airport parking

March 5, 2013 by Gretta Schifano 8 Comments

I flew from Heathrow Terminal 5 recently and was offered the chance to try meet and greet parking there, which was great. Following instructions which had been mailed to me, I drove into the short stay car park via the Fast Track lane and parked near the lifts in a designated bay. I then handed my car […]
