Get In The Festive Mood With VIP Heathrow
The month of December is here and Christmas is looming. If the idea of buying Christmas presents and decorating the house fills you with dread, maybe its time to get out of Grinch mode and consider squeezing in a weekend away to one of the fabulous cities in Europe which are sure you fill you with festive spirit. The cities offer wonderful Christmas markets where shoppers can browse for gift inspiration, take in the atmosphere and sample delicious local produce.
A flight from Heathrow to Paris with Air France from £142pp* which means that it won’t break the bank to jet off for a Christmas fix.
What’s the best thing you can do for free in Paris at Christmas?
Enjoy the window displays in the city’s Grands Magasins department stores. Galeries Lafayette, Printemps, Bon Marché and BHV all compete each year to outdo each other.

What are the unmissable Xmas events in…?
…Brussels:
Brussels Winter Wonders is one of Europe’s biggest Christmas markets and is the best way to get into the holiday spirit. The nightly light show on the Grand Place is a beautiful spectacle. Combine it with a glass of mulled wine and a plate of oysters.
….Berlin-
Christmas markets, lights and decorations in the streets, special dishes and mulled wine at restaurants, and Christmas programmes at the opera and concert houses.
…..Rome?
First of all there is the Christmas market in Piazza Navona. The square gets filled up with stands selling ornaments, toys, candy etc. Another tradition is nativity scenes – you find them in every church.
So if you decide to fit in a magical festive getaway, make sure you combine your flight from Heathrow with meet & greet parking from VIP to ensure your trip is even more enjoyable. With meet and greet parking you are met outside the Heathrow terminal by a VIP driver who then takes your car away to be securely parked in the off-site car-park which has Park Mark accreditation. On date of return, providing you follow the simple instructions in the booking paperwork, your car will be brought to you outside the terminal ready to drive home.
VIP offer 3 options of meet & greet parking so customers can choose the level of service dependant on their budget. FLEXI is the on-call option and is especially recommended for travel during busy periods such as Xmas where Heathrow is expected to be even more frenetic than usual. Customers who book VIP FLEXI Heathrow parking have priority customer status which means minimal waiting time regardless of whether their flight lands earlier or later than scheduled. VIP are currently offering 10% off their FLEXI option by using the code XMASFLEXI by 12th December 14. VIP even offers a loyalty scheme where customers are rewarded for every 3 bookings with a free gift of their choice.
