Airport Parking: How far ahead do you book?

Former_MSE_Andrea

Hi everyone

We're interested in knowing what savings you've made on your airport parking by booking in advance.

• How long in advance did you book?
  
• How much cheaper was it than just turning up on the day?
  
• Which airport were you flying from?

If you're reading this and haven't booked yet our Airport Parking guide could help!

I always book within a few days of booking my flight/accommodation


tend to use the comparison sites to get the best deals and generally save a bit although always check the actual site 1st as sometimes going through a site with a discount they bump up price only for it to be taken off with the code

Thanks Kernow666.

How much do you think it saves you?

I use Just Park

Book when the flights are booked-so months ahead to get the best pick of sites.

Saves a fortune

I can beat the savings even more here, Get a friend/skivvy to take you and collect you for a small fee covering petrol and time.

Train to Gatwick for us, or National Express to Heathrow.

Usually travel long haul, so the thought of getting behind the wheel after a very long flight doesn't inspire me.

I book well in advance and save loads, but Aberdeen is one of the most expensive airport car parks.

Birmingham airport long stay 5 can be quite cheap if you book 120 days or more in advance. If you sign up with NCP they send out occasional emails with promotional codes which reduces the cost even more. You can walk to the terminal from this car park or wait for the shuttle bus if you prefer.

Travelling from East Midlands airport.

Paid about £29 for four days. Not sure how much it would be on the day but I booked about 2 months in advance.

I book the car parking just after I've booked the flights, so this time, 11 months in advance.
The best price for parking this time around was via a MSE link to Manchester Airport M&G. If my memory is behaving, it was 15% off their regular rate.

I booked a holiday on the 17th May and checked Manchester airport meet and greet which was £45. I left it and went to book it on the 29th June (the day before we flew) and it was £85😱 book early!!
