Free Gatwick hotel and 8/15 nights parking (refunded after stay)

Another www.holidayextras.co.uk best price guarantee. My third so far.

Try and book a double room with parking for 8/15 nights.

Have a look to see if Britannia Europa EXECUTIVE is offered and then check the price on http://www.britanniahotels.com/

You will see on the holextras site that britannia is listed near the top but also two further listings near the bottom. You need the executive one.

If the HE site is dearer book it, using the seconf cancellation protection option (£2.49) in case it all goes wrong then get on the live web help and tell them it is cheaper elsewhere.

Good luck guys.

    Great tip, and this was the case for when I need to travel aswell.. We do however need a family room (or atleast triple and we could bring some sort of bed to fit the forth person), however I couldnt find anything cheaper on 3/4 person rooms... If I had I would have used your tip. :)
  • Do you think we could get away with just using the hotel?

    my deal has just been autorised so i will get a refund when i came back. This is my number three and they pay back within a week or so.

    Another glitch on their site comes to booking a second room. When you put in the dates it gives you an option for a second room, but however, when you check out on the website, you will find it covers onlu one car, so in theory you pay 2 x hotel rooms plus 2 x parking, but you only get 2 x hotel rooms and 1 x parking, meaning 99% chance the website is overcharging you as a standard room without parking is a heck of a lot cheaper since HE charge you 2 x hotel and parking rate.

    Anyway, keep spotting.

    I think the Bristol single room at the town and country is still a goer all year and includes return taxi tfrs,

    also get them to confirm to you on the phone they have noted the rate as rates change daily so a glitch at 9.50pm may not be there are 8am in the morning.

    I have just booked two rooms for Stansted airport at £220 but the hotels website has them for £190. So I contacted live-support who confirmed the difference and have referred it to the comparisons department for action on Tuesday. I asked her to e-mail me to confirm that I have been in touch today because you have to contact them within 24 hours, and I have taken a screen print of the hotels website - fingers crossed for free overnight airport stay.

    i will let you know how i get on

    Im having no luck lol, i think it may be because of taking the two kids, plus it doesnt seem to give you an infant option. Think im too paranoid to book.

    Need Manchester airport staying 4th June with 15 nights parking. I have in the past just booked a double and use the kids pop up beds at hotels though.

    Thanks TBeckett.

    Had just booked the Radisson Blu at Manchester Airport when I came across this thread.

    Quick check on Radissons website and the Stop & Go-15 Days Parking was cheaper.
