my message is do not leave your airport parking to chance, the airport may be extremely busy and you could be delayed looking for adequate parking. Do you know where you are actually going when you reach the airport. Leaving airport parking to just turning up at the last minute can cause problems and has led to flights almost being missed.
Incorrectly, the airport bus driver was given a warning by his superiors for helping the wheelchair user. Why on earth did this happen? My friends put me onto a normal bus as we did not have the time to wait the 25 minutes for special wheelchair transport to arrive.
An airport official saw the driver helping me get off the bus at the airport terminal and then pulled the driver in to discipline them. How did I get to know about this? I was told airport officials had given the driver of the bus a warning from the driver of special assistance vehicle on my return to the airport.
What was the problem, the bus driver was helping out a disabled member of the community. I could not believe how much the car parking costs were; when comparing to costs when booking online there is a vast difference.
The event took place earlier in the decade; since then there are now a number of sites that offer great airport parking booking facilities. The Internet has allowed car users to pre-book airport car parking in advance at a discount.
If you have a disability and are looking for which airport car park you should choose then GoSimply would be the site I recommend. Disable users will find the site useful as it highlights if a car park has disabled facilities. The other excellent feature on the GoSimply site is the amount of reviews from other travellers
Booking airport parking in advance makes sense for the following reasons:
- It gives peace of mind
- You can reduce costs
- You can park closer to the airport
- Take the worry out of finding a suitable parking
- Major car parks are monitored 24/7
My subsequent travels to Stansted airport have all resulted in me pre-booking my Stansted Airport Parking in advance. I would advocate this to any traveller but even more so a disabled traveller who is looking for Stansted Airport Parking.
Why leave finding a suitable car park at an airport to chance! Think about it, if you are stuck in traffic and have no car park place guaranteed you could well be stuck at an outer car park and face a longer transfer time.
