Birmingham Airport/Hotel/Parking

Hi All

Booked a cruise and flying from Birmingham on the 7th July around 06:00am so am driving to Birmingham from work in South Wales at around 5pm and am looking for:

Hotel near the airport
Parking at the airport

I've had a quick look at Travelodge 3 miles away is £39 - havent searched for parking yet.

Anyone know of any better deals and good parking??

Thanks

    The Novotel (which is right at the airport - you just fall out of bed and toddle across the road) often has good park and stay rates. Try abcholidayextras for them.

    Parking is off airport though

    I tried to use topcashback for Purple Parking along with a discount code, but the cashback got rejected. It would appear that it is PP's policy not to pay out for cashback if you have used a discount code.

    See azam.net forward slash uk forward slash purple-parking (can't post links yet as I am a newbie)


    Still, £21 for a week's Heathrow parking was still great. The extra £3 would have been just the icing on the cake.

    Right well i've gone for a £59 deal - it was pitched as a 4* hotel with up to 15 days parking at the hotel which was no more than 1 mile from the airport.

    We did it and the hotel is the Crown Plaza, 15 nights parking, and free airport transfers so not bad me thinks.

    Thanks for your help everyone
