subject: Stress-free Holiday Starts With The Parking At Birmingham Airport [print this page] So you have booked your holiday and everyone is excited but as the holiday date draws nearer, you begin to experience a certain sense of dread. There are so many things to remember to do before you go and somehow it"s become your designated job to sort them all out. And at the back of your mind is always that nagging thought, "what if we don"t get to the airport on time and we miss the flight?"
So I did all the usual sensible things first such as organising the travel insurance, the foreign currency and cancelling the newspapers. I checked that our passports were still valid and weighed our suitcases. I packed a travel plug, travel kettle and a bag of tablets for this and creams for that. I double-checked the booking and the flight times at least one hundred times.
This year we were flying from Birmingham airport and I decided I needed to try to start my holiday from the moment we left home.
Thinking about what had made me feel stressed in previous years I realised I needed to know how long it would take to get to the airport and I wanted an allocated spot in the car park rather than having to drive round and round trying to futilely find a space. I needed to know how long it would take from the car park to get to the airport. I also wanted to ensure that there would not be any surprises on my return such as oil stains on my seat or extra miles on the milometer.
I found out that you can use a website such as www.ncp.co.uk to pre book car parking Birmingham airport. It is cheaper to book it this way and you can opt to have your car cleaned or valeted whilst you are away if you like. I put my registration number on the booking form and when we arrived the barrier just lifted straight up to let us through, so finding our allocated space was really easy. We went to the long term car park at Birmingham airport because it was near to terminal two where we were flying from, and walked from there to the airport. This took less than five minutes and we were glad to stretch our legs after our car journey. I can"t begin to tell you the sense of relief I felt when I looked at my watch and checked the time.
When we came back, we just walked to the same place we had left the car, loaded up the bags, checked the car was as we had left it, then just drove up to the barrier. It was really straightforward to organise and execute on site car parking Birmingham airport.
