    Depending on the time of your flight, it could be worth looking at a hotel with parking bundle. A relative found that worked out cheaper for him plus they got a good night's kip beforehand.
    All shall be well, and all shall be well, and all manner of things shall be well.

    Pedant alert - it's could have, not could of.

    Obviously that makes taxi uneconomic, but as we don't know how long you'll be away we can't really say what the best parking otions are.

    It ain't that bad.

    Anyway, handy scrap yard if your wheels go walk about :rotfl:
  • When we flew out to Spain flight time was 6am so stayed at the IBIS next door to the terminal. By booking direct and registering for emails got the room for £39, cheaper than all the 'cheap' web sites. Got our son to drop us at the station , £4 train ticket and job's done
  • I would like to point out that if you go by train, any delays causing you to miss the flight will be covered by most travel insurances whereas if you go by car you will not be covered if you do not get there on time.
  • sorry its 7 days away

    Coach from Bristol to Birmingham might be worth doing. There's fun fares all the time. Or train as its direct
