Still got Xmas pressies to buy? It’s not too late to visit one of the many Xmas markets. Why not squeeze in a mini break and go a little further afield? With our strange mild, changeable weather here in the UK – take a short flight and you could visit one of the many fabulous Xmas markets in Europe- with more fitting chilly weather!

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.

The gloomy January UK weather is here with freezing winds and spells of ice and sleet. What better way to put a smile on your face than to escape for some winter sun and warmth? It’s even better when you bag a bargain holiday!
January is one of the best months to go on holiday – not just because the weather is so grim in the UK, but because there are cut-price deals to be found. This is the time of year when people are paying off their Christmas credit card bills and tightening their belts. So for those with cash to spend there are great bargains on holidays in the sun. http://www.101holidays.co.uk/where-to-go-on-holiday-in-january/
With the Euro to pound rate so appealing right now, its never been a better time to consider a winter break. If its sunshine you are seeking you will probably need to consider flying further afield but there are some great savings to be had if you are looking to improve your skiing skills in the top Europe resorts or perhaps want to whisk away your loved one for a valentine’s city-break treat. Don’t forget that holidays in January are not just about sun seeking. You could go north to discover natural wonders and wilderness. One of the most exciting winter trips is to see the Northern Lights. This winter is providing more spectacular – and reliable – displays than in recent years.
Airport Parking Made Easy:
If you are planning a trip from Heathrow, make sure you combine your flight 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. This means no bus transfer is necessary. 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 three 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 have priority customer status which means minimal waiting time regardless of whether their flight lands earlier or later than scheduled.

VIP even offers a loyalty scheme where customers are rewarded for every 3 bookings with a free gift of their choice*. Visit www.vipheathrow.co.uk to find out more about VIP parking, prices and the loyalty scheme etc.

Tailoring your lunch is easy but non standard travel requirements can be less so. Flying from Gatwick Airport but returning to Heathrow Airport? Or maybe visa versa? Sounds like a bit of a headache? How and where would you park your car? Taxis can cost a fortune and trains & luggage do not mix. However, this duo Airport situation is not unusal for VIP who have adapted to offer customers in this scenario a special parking option.

Sometimes customers find themselves in this situation when booking with an airline who do not fly both ways or that route is the most economical option for their budget.

VIP, the Heathrow parking experts, offer a Meet & Greet parking solution and a Chauffeur Parking solution as standard at Heathrow. ‘Meet & greet parking’ is where the customer is met outside the airport terminal and their car is taken away to be parked for the duration. With Meet & Greet the customer’s vehicle is then returned to them outside the airport upon return.

However, with the VIP ‘Chauffeur Parking’ option the customer meets their VIP driver outside the Heathrow Crowne Plaza hotel and is driven in their own vehicle to their Heathrow terminal where they proceed to check-in whilst their vehicle is taken away to be parked securely at the VIP Park Mark accredited car park. This saves the customer having to find their own way to the terminal which can be very confusing given Heathrow is the World’s busiest International Airport.

To assist customers in the duo airport situation who are facing a parking dilemma or having to ask a relative to help out, VIP have adapted their Meet & Greet service into a ‘hybrid’ which draws from Chauffeur Parking and Meet & Greet. Here is an example of the VIP duo airport hybrid service; Customers who are flying from Heathrow on date of departure meet their VIP driver at the relevant Heathrow terminal and go straight to check-in. The vehicle is taken to the VIP secure carpark for the duration. The customer then returns to Gatwick airport upon date of return and telephones VIP who then meets the customer outside the Gatwick terminal where they then provide their VIP driver with a lift back to Heathrow (unless they have arranged otherwise to eliminate that element and continue straight home). All options are fully explained on the VIP website where the customer can tailor-make accordingly via www.vipheathrow.co.uk

For customers departing from Gatwick, they meet their VIP driver at the Crowne Plaza Hotel Heathrow and drive to Gatwick with their VIP driver in their vehicle (unless otherwise arranged where customer is met directly outside their Gatwick terminal). Once the customer has gone to check-in, their vehicle is taken to the VIP secure car park to be stored until return. The customer then later returns to Heathrow where their vehicle is returned to them outside their Heathrow terminal.

The price for this hybrid Gatwick & Heathrow parking service is £88 (excluding potential extra charges) for 7 days. New customers can use the code NEWVIP for an even better deal (Terms & Conditions apply). So although VIP are based at Heathrow and specialise in Heathrow parking, they can be flexible enough to offer Gatwick parking in these scenarios whilst still offering a cost effective, head-ache free solution.

Heathrow only airport parking with VIP starts from just £47 for 7 days with the Budget service. VIP has been established for 10 years and is the expert at customizing parking for the individual, allowing customers to tailor-make parking to their needs.
