Book a flight to a Xmas market and park with peace of mind with VIP Heathrow

Strasbourg offers Olde Worlde charm, but during Advent, the capital of Alsace is even more magical. Half-timbered houses sport giant red-and-white hearts; stars, angels and snowflakes garland the cobbled streets. No wonder Strasbourg has won the title of “Best Christmas Market in Europe” two years running. But locals have plenty of practice in throwing a Yuletide party – the Christkindelsmärik dates back to 1570 and even the towering fir tree on the Place Kléber is a 400-year-old custom. Check out the 11 different “villages” but do not miss the “bredele”. These special biscuits come in all shapes and flavours, from hazelnut, orange and cinnamon to walnut, coconut and praline. Take them home. Hang them on your tree. Then eat them.

Travelling from airports can be stressful at the best of times never-mind travelling over peak times such as Xmas / New Year. Here are some ways to help make the airport experience as enjoyable as possible.

Before you leave for the airport check that your flight is departing on schedule, no point being there if not. Airlines recommend you arrive to the airport three hours before an international flight but that can be excessive- unless travelling with children of course.

It is becoming common or airports around the world to offer a baggage wrap service. Your check-in bag is placed on a machine which cocoons it in several layers of clingy see-through plastic. It’s cheap, and the purpose is to deter would-be thieves who might pilfer your luggage once it disappears from sight – (sadly locks are no barrier). The wrap also offers an extra layer of protection for your bags. Any tampering would be immediately apparent when you retrieve your bag. Some travellers maintain this is a complete waste of time, but they’re probably ones who have never had anything go missing from their luggage. There are airports in the world where you should definitely have your bag wrapped, and that can apply to your destination airport as well as the one you’re departing from. If you see locals having their bags wrapped it’s a good indication that you have reason to do the same.
Economy class passengers without the right credit card or frequent flyer status that will open the door to a business-class airport lounge have another option in pay-for-use lounges. You can expect showers, buffet-style snacks and non-alcoholic drinks, coffee and tea, free Wi-Fi and quiet and comfortable seating. They vary enormously in quality, amenities and services so it pays to do your homework before you pay for access. Check reviews on Tripadvisor Lounge Buddy,or Sleeping in Airports. Lounge Buddy and Sleeping in Airports also allow you to buy lounge access in advance and this is usually cheaper than if you pay at the lounge door.
And ALWAYS pre-book your airport parking as you will be exploited if you just turn up at the car-park. Be very careful about who you choose for your parking, especially if opting for meet & greet parking where your car is parked for you so you can go straight to check-in. There are scoundrels out there setting up and causing travellers high levels of stress. Make sure you research your airport parking provider and check on-line reviews / ask family / friends etc before you decide who to pre-book with.

Its that time of the year where the snow lovers dust off their skis and prepare to hit the slopes. With each winter-sport season comes the promise of new ski lifts. For 2015-16 there will be improvements at La Plagne in France and Passo Tonale in Italy (in the form of new gondolas), plus Zermatt in Switzerland and Jackson Hole in the US (new chairlifts). Austria will have several new lifts, plus innovations to hurry skiers and boarders back on to the slopes
Snow sport enthusiast can enjoy some big bargains too because of the euro. In mid-September this year, £1 would buy €1.37; at the same time in 2014 it bought €1.25, in 2013 just €1.10. The result is that whatever you pay for in eurozone resorts, from high-ticket items such as rental equipment and lift passes to glasses of beer, should be almost 20 per cent cheaper than in the 2013-14 season.
Though far fewer UK skiers will feel its benefit, the fall in the Canadian dollar has been even more precipitous: £1 now buys more than C$2, compared with about C$1.64 two years ago.

If you are squeezing in a break during the hectic October 1/2 term period, here are some frightfully good tips:

1. Avoid cabin bag penalty charges (e.g. your carry-on bags are not over the limit). Double-check the allowances with your airline before you leave home.

2. Allow contingency time to allow for hold-ups en-route to the airport and always opt for meet & greet parking to cut out the bus transfer which adds further time to your journey.

3. Pre-book airport parking with a trustworthy meet & greet parking provider. VIP Heathrow Ltd is one of the longest established operators at Heathrow who only use secure car-parks which have been vetted or have the Park Mark award.

4. And of course don’t forget all your travel documents are safe and to hand.

VIP’s great value, friendly meet & greet Heathrow parking service is in demand and we only have a few spaces remaining for October 1/2 term – so book today and don’t be at risk of having a hellish time at Heathrow!

October is a popular month for European city breaks, and a chance to catch the last of the sunshine in the Mediterranean. Not forgetting some great long-haul trip opportunities.
Malta is one of the best holiday destinations in October – it’s far enough south to enjoy glorious sunshine long into autumn, but it’s cool enough to make it comfortable when touring the island’s fascinating historical sites.
October is one of the best months to visit Jordan (25ºC and 9 hours of sun) where you can explore the vast desert landscapes of Wadi Rum and the Rose Red city of Petra, then relax on the shores of the Dead Sea.

If you have to travel during the school ½ term break but haven’t booked yet, it might not be too late. Why not see if there is a last minute bargain to be had? Try a 5 day break to see if you can save on flights. We personally like sunmaster.co.uk as they specialise in cancellation bargains.

London Heathrow Airport handled 6.77 million passengers in September, up by +2.9% year-on-year, making it the busiest September ever for the UK hub.

Within emerging markets, passenger volumes were particularly strong to Mexico (+16.5%), China (+11.9%) and to the Middle East (+7.2%) as carriers benefited from the introduction of new A380s.

In the year to date, passenger traffic climbed by +2.3% to 56.9 million.

As the government considers a decision on whether to allow a new runway to proceed at either Heathrow or Gatwick, Heathrow claimed it would assist the development of the northern UK economy by creating more export links to fast-growing markets.

VIP is trusted by thousands every year to look after their cars when they are abroad but who looks after the customer themselves during or after the trip if they have had a problem?

We’ve found a great website which offers unbiased advice if you have a holiday complaint. It also offers a wealth of valuable travel information which you might find helpful when planning your next holiday: http://www.holidaytravelwatch.com/

Thinking about booking an escape for some winter sunshine? We at VIP are always on a mission to ensure customers have a happy Heathrow airport parking experience but we also like to help provide travel tips beyond just parking. Here’s an extract from a useful article we found about Travel Insurance that you might find useful:
‘For 2+ trips abroad each year, get annual travel insurance from £13. Get travel insurance as soon as you book. If not, you won’t be covered for cancellation or changes. Plus if you go away two or more times a year, annual policies are usually cheaper.
Here are the cheapest under-65s’ picks which hit our minimum cover criteria:
Cover all a year’s trips from £13. If you travel at least twice in a year (incl weekend breaks), an annual policy usually wins. Holidaysafe Lite* cover is £13-£18 in Europe and £25-£31 for worldwide cover.
We found the cheapest insurance for a family travelling was also from Holidaysafe Lite*. It starts from £26 for cover in Europe, and from £51 for worldwide cover.
For more choice, including top value picks which have strong feedback and payout record, see Cheap Annual Travel Insurance.’

At VIP we love to keep an eye out for savvy ways to help make our customers’ trips abroad as stress-free as possible. If you’re travelling to a country where English isn’t widely spoken, here’s a handy trick to turn a smartphone into a translator for free – without using any costly data abroad.
The Google Translate app’s available on Android and iPhone. It’s free, and lets you translate words and phrases to and from your chosen language.
The real perk is it lets you download free language packs on your smartphone to access offline. Do this in the UK before you go, and you won’t need data to use it overseas.
To do it, download and open the app, press the menu button and select “offline languages”. Then tap the pin button for each language you want to download. There are 90 to choose from, including French, Spanish, Greek and Thai.
