VIP Heathrow Blog

Flying for business or pleasure is to many people one of the most thrilling experiences in the world, but it remains full of mystery for the average traveller.
Do pilots require a key to start a plane? Where flight attendants sleep on long-haul flights and why do planes leave long white trails in the sky? etc
Condensation trails are similar to the fog that results when a person exhales on a cold day. The white condensation trails form when humid exhaust from jet engines cools very quickly in colder and dryer air at higher altitudes. Water vapour, strange as it might seem, is a by-product of the combustion within jet engines, which is where the humidity comes from.

Four of London’s airports rank among the top 100 in the world, with Heathrow in the top 10, according to a passenger survey published this week.
The awards, dished out by air travel rating site Skytrax, name the best international airports each year based on a nine-month customer survey.
While Heathrow touches down in eighth place, up from 10th in last year’s World Airport Awards, London City Airport is at number 32, and Gatwick and Stansted rank 40th and 73rd respectively.
There’s more good news for London when it comes to stopping over mid-journey. Sofitel London Heathrow is rated the fifth best airport hotel in the world, and Heathrow is rated the third best airport in the world for diners.
However, none of Britain’s airports rank among the 10 best places “for customers to relax and unwind during the airport experience”.
Tokyo’s Kansai International Airport is rated as the world’s best for baggage handling, having reportedly never lost a single piece of luggage since its opening 21 years ago.
“The baggage delivery award is based around various criteria, the core emphasis integrating speed and efficiency of baggage delivery, staff support services, baggage hall information and so on,” Peter Miller, director of marketing for Skytrax, told the Telegraph.

Heathrow Airport Parking Made Easy:
Meet & greet parking is the most convenient way to park and can be surprising affordable. If you are planning a trip from Heathrow, make sure you combine your flight with Heathrow airport parking from VIP to ensure your trip is even more enjoyable.

Hundreds of flights were delayed at Heathrow two days after a new system went live to ‘cut delays caused by strong winds’. The delays affected 287 flights taking off from Heathrow on Sunday and 288 flights arriving at the London airport, according the flight data website Flight Aware.
The new system, Time Based Separation (TBS), went live on Friday and was described as a ‘world first’.

Hopefully this turbulent weather will soon settle down. The MET Office website is currently indicating the winds will have eased by mid-week so fingers crossed all of you flying out from Heathrow for an Easter break will not experience delays. It never hurts however to make sure you are prepared for a flight delay, especially if travelling with young children. What will keep them entertained (a good old fashioned game of eye-spy and a go on my smart phone games normally gets me out of jail!), what about meal-times? – a hungry child is rarely fun to travel with so it’s best to ensure you always have snacks/ sweeties to hand (and that goes for keeping my husband happy too!). Make sure you don’t pack anything too critical in the hold luggage in case (excuse the pun) it gets lost or delayed etc. (For example your child’s favourite teddy).
An easy quick win to get your trip off to a good start is to park your car at the airport with minimum hassle and time. Meet & Greet parking at Heathrow is the first choice on this front. The result is that you can beat the queues and hopefully means that your party gets seats together if you haven’t pre-booked.
With meet and greet Heathrow parking you are met outside the 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. 7 days VIP Budget Meet & Greet Heathrow parking starts from just £47.95.

FYI: More About The Heathrow Delays:
A spokesman for Heathrow Airport said: “There were delays at Heathrow yesterday due to very high winds. “We had no cancellations (out of the approximately 1300 scheduled flights) so although we are running at 98% capacity the airport coped well with the weather disruption.”Of course we are sorry for those passengers who were delayed yesterday.”

A spokesman for NATS said: “The tool is obviously new so it will take some time for us to be getting the absolute most out of it.
“We are currently in a period of Limited Operational Service to refine our processes and ensure everything is working as expected. We then plan to go fully live on 1 May, although further refinements will probably be made over the course of the year.”

The 2015 Easter getaway will start next week, with British Airways alone expecting to see almost 700,000 people travel around the world on its flights in the first five days.

The exodus will start on Thursday April 2, as many families flock to the sun to take advantage of the long Easter weekend and the school holidays.
The single busiest day for travel according to British Airways is Monday, April 6, with 142,000 people set to fly with the airline.
If you are travelling with kids in tow, take a look at this video which gives some great insight into how to keep kids of various ages entertained during the flight, which means grown-ups can relax more! It’s lovely to see that good old fashioned Lego and loom bands kept the kids engrossed and happy – so interestingly it’s not all about smart phones and hand-held internet devices.

Meet & greet parking is the most convenient way to park and can be surprising affordable. Parking off-airport and then using buses can be very unpleasant and tiring, especially with kids in tow.

Who said growing older meant doom and gloom? I am 36 and cannot wait to retire so I can travel more again (when my kids have flown the nest!). This article shows how many of the older amongst us are travelling / holidaying more often than ever.
More than half (52%) of people aged over 50 have changed their holiday habits over the past decade, a recent poll for Saga Travel shows. Two-in-three of those have changed how often they take a holiday and over half report a switch in destination. Nearly half have altered their type of holiday and just over a third have changed the time of year they travel. Two-thirds of those reporting a change in the frequency of their holidays travel more often than they did 10 years ago, while 27% travel less frequently. Of the 67% who said they travel more frequently, 50% travel three or more times per year, compared to a quarter of respondents who now travel less.
The most popular holiday among older respondents is a cruise – 33% of 80-89 year olds, according to the study. Almost a third only travel on touring holidays to explore their chosen destination, against 15% who want to relax in a resort. Only 9% of the 10,015 respondents polled last month said they only travelled on holidays with their family, children and grandchildren. For those who have changed where they go, a third (34%) now travel to more exotic destinations than they did 10 years ago – highest among 50–59 year olds.
Almost a quarter now travel to destinations that avoid long haul flights and 16% only travel to destinations in the UK. More than half (53%) of those who take holidays at a different time of the year say they avoid travelling during school holidays. Almost a fifth travel at times when there are less likely to be other people abroad.

We take care of the airport parking for thousands of customers every year who are jetting off all around the world from Heathrow airport. Some of our lovely customers are kind enough to share their favourite destinations and top tips to help inspire others. So if you haven’t already booked your main 2015/16 holiday, here’s some free inspiration from VIP’s Mrs Peasley:

As a bargain hunter I like to feel like I am getting ‘max bang for my buck’. Krabi in Thailand was a winner for me here. My husband and I were able to venture from our luxury hotel into town ‘Ao Nang’ via ‘the monkey walk’ or by boat (both good fun). Transport in town (via taxi or ‘tuk tuk’) and eating out was so cheap. The seafood was amazing and the people were so friendly! Talk about beautiful scenery. The beaches were some of the best I have ever seen with perfect crystal blue sea to cool off in. If you have watched the film ‘The Beach’ you can actually visit the location where it was filmed- Phi Phi Island, which is definitely worth adding to your ‘itinerary.’ We went in the month of April, had perfect weather and stayed in the reasonably priced but very luxurious Centara Grand Beach Resort, http://www.centarahotelsresorts.com/centaragrand/ckbr/

One of the worst times for things to go wrong when you are at the wheel is when you are driving to catch a flight! We are in the business of parking cars professionally and efficiently- whatever the weather. It’s our jobs to ensure a nice warm car is waiting for our customers when they return to Heathrow and exit the terminal after their flight- so we know the extra precautions needed when handling cars during winter to minimize disruption/ delay. A few simple checks can help ensure you don’t get caught out in the cold this winter. We’ve gathered some useful tips for you:

Check your car:
• Antifreeze – check coolant level regularly and, if required, top-up with a mixture of the correct type of antifreeze. Your garage should check concentration to ensure adequate cold temperature protection.
• Battery – the most common cause of winter breakdowns. A battery more than five years old may struggle in the cold – get it checked and replaced if necessary to avoid the inconvenience of an unplanned failure.
• Fuel – keep at least a quarter of a tank in case of unexpected delay.
• Lights – check and clean all lights regularly to make sure you can see and be seen clearly. Carry spare bulbs.
• Tyres – should have at least 3mm of tread for winter motoring. Consider winter tyres for improved safety. Check pressures at least every fortnight.
• Windscreen – reduce dazzle from the low sun by keeping the screen clean inside and out. Now is a good time to renew worn wiper blades.
• Screen wash – use a 50% mix of a good quality screen wash to reduce the chance of freezing in frosty weather.
• Locks and door seals – stop doors freezing shut with a thin coat of polish or Vaseline on rubber door seals. A squirt of water dispersant (WD-40) in locks will help stop them freezing.

Winter emergency kit:
• Blanket, rug or sleeping bag
• Shovel
• Bits of carpet or thick cardboard to place under driven wheels to help regain traction on ice or snow
• Salt, sand or cat litter – to help clear snow and ice
• Reflective jacket(s)
• Ice scraper and de-icer
• Torch and batteries
• Tow rope
• Snow chains (if you live in a remote or rural area)
• Battery jump leads
• Bottled water
• Snacks – chocolate or cereal bars
• Extra screen wash

Year-round essentials
• Fully-charged mobile phone and in-car charger
• Sunglasses – to deal with glare from the sun or snow
• Personal medication
• Warning triangle
• Spare bulbs
• First aid kit
• Road atlas – in case of diversions
• Sat-nav or printed route for unfamiliar journeys
• Breakdown membership card

If you are considering a February half term holiday but haven’t yet booked, here are some ideas for where is hot this time of year;
The southern hemisphere is the place to be at the moment as the European summer destinations continue to struggle through the depths of winter. With the Mediterranean cooling down from another beach holiday season other destinations around the world such as Thailand, Gambia, Cuba and Dubai are enjoying hot and sunny weather. If you’re seeking day long sunbathing sessions in February on the beaches of the Balearics or the Greek Islands you may be disappointed, so here’s some hot and sunny destinations that might tempt holiday makers keen to escape in February.
Thailand
Thailand is a country scattered with tropical islands such as Ko Phi Phi, Ko Chang, Ko Samui and popular resorts such as Pattaya and Phuket, all conjuring up typical picture postcard scenes of white sands, turquoise seas and palm fringed beaches.
Thailand is a country scattered with tropical islands such as Ko Phi Phi, Ko Chang, Ko Samui and popular resorts such as Pattaya and Phuket, all conjuring up typical picture postcard scenes of white sands, turquoise seas and palm fringed beaches.

If you’re looking for hot countries in February, then you can’t get much hotter than Thailand; the bustling and popular resort of Phuket has temperatures of 28ºC (or 91f) and enjoys 9 hours of sunshine. As Thailand is sub tropical in the heart of South East Asia it has very high humidity in February so the monthly 27mm (or 1.1 inches) of rain is most welcome as evening descends, cooling things down to a balmy 23ºC at night.

Average February Temperature: 28ºC
Average February Rainfall: 42mm
Average Hours of Sunshine: 9hrs

Although flights to Bangkok may be more expensive than the usual return flight to Spain, the costs when you’re there are very low indeed, a top quality meal in a restaurant with a couple of drinks will set you back the equivalent of £10, perfect if you’re a big fan of hot Thai cuisine and genuine Thai hospitality. The cost of accommodation is also very competitive from air conditioned beach bungalows to 5 star resorts for a fraction of European prices.

Dubai
Dubai has a hot and arid desert climate but this ensures hot and sunny weather all year round. In fact, it’s almost too hot in the summer months with temperatures reaching over 40ºC. A much more pleasant time to visit Dubai is from November to March when temperatures tolerable for sun seekers…
Beautiful beaches line Dubai’s coastline such as Jumeirah Beach, home to Dubai’s swankiest holiday clubs and hotels.

Average February Temperature: 20ºC
Average February Rainfall: 25mm
Average Hours of Sunshine: 8.5hrs

Dubai is popular for its local markets, or Souks as they are referred to locally. There is a whole host of different souks selling the a wide range of Arab themed produce – the Spice Souk, Perfume Souk and Fish Souk are well worth a visit purely for the experience if not to purchase anything! Recently opened, the Dubai Mall has the world’s largest number of retailers in one mall with 1,200 shops, housed in salubrious air-conditioned surroundings. Outside of Dubai’s city limits thrill seeking visitors should try a 4X4 desert safari which takes you on a tour of the awe-inspiring dunes, you can also stop at local Arabian settlements and even try your hand at sandboarding!

Perth
Perth, Western Australia has the enviable reputation of having the most sunshine hours of any capital city in Australia. It is a perfect destination for travellers looking for a hot and sunny February holiday.
Life in Perth city centre focuses around the Swan River which is lined with bars and restaurants. However, the real gems of Perth lie on the outskirts of the city such as the surf havens of Scarborough or Cottesloe Beach where you can enjoy unforgettable over the Indian Ocean.

Average February Temperature: 25ºC
Average February Rainfall: 14mm
Average Hours of Sunshine: 10hrs

Further south of Perth, you’ll find the Margaret River region which produces some of the best wines in the world and is also home to Smiths Beach, again popular with the surfing fraternity. Perth is a great choice for a February break, although it’s most definitely a long haul destination given Perth is nearly 9,000 miles away with flight times of around 18 or 19 hours. The reward is average day time temperatures of 25ºC (or 88f), 10 hours of brilliant sunshine and hardly any rainfall.

When you have booked your trip, don’t forget to pre-book your airport parking. Make sure you choose where and how to park your car carefully- so you can have peace of mind. If you are flying from LHR Heathrow then VIP Heathrow Ltd should be the first choice. VIP has provided a quality, great value Meet & Greet Heathrow parking service for over 10 years.

The South of England has so far been spared the snow and sleet showers which are making driving difficult for many drivers today. Should these conditions travel southwards, customer’s travelling on the roads for work or driving to / from the Heathrow airport area need to remember how to drive safely in snowy / icy conditions. Snow and ice always causes travel disruption and its vital to avoid that nightmare skid situation when driving. Here is a reminder about how to drive safely in such challenging conditions:
The following tips should always be followed when driving in the snow:
• It’s important to accelerate gently, use low revs and change up to a higher gear as quickly as possible. You may need to move off in second gear as this will help reduce wheel slip
• You may need to leave as much as 10 times the normal recommended gap between you and the car in front
• If you do encounter a skid, steer gently into it – for example, if the rear of the car is sliding to the right, steer to the right. Do not take your hands off the steering wheel or stamp your foot on the brakes
• If the road has not been gritted, be wary of driving in the wheeltracks or other vehicles as compressed snow is likely to be more icy than fresh snow
• Controls such as the brakes, as well as the steering, accelerator and even gear changing should be operated smoothly and slowly
• Sunglasses can help to reduce the glare of low winter sun on the snow
• Keep your speed down and allow more time to stop and steer

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.
