One customer said “Excellent value, we have used this service before and will use it again every time we need airport parking!”

Another stated “very quick and efficient I always book at this car park!”

With SkyPark’s constantly improving and increasingly strong levels of customer service it’s no surprise that their overall rating is exceptionally high and over looking at customer reviews it’s safe to assume it will only get higher.

Skyparksecure are always looking to see how we can give our Stansted airport parking customers the best value for money.

We have made our Stansted Alpha Meet & Greet car park the cheapest available airport parking service for those wanting to stay for 8 days or more. You can book today for an 8 day stay starting from the 25th of April 2012 for an amazing £47.00 (that’s only £5.88 per day). We have manually searched the same date and time range on our competitor’s websites and have yet to find a better price for a like for like Meet & Greet service.

So next time you need airport parking at Stansted Airport for 8 days or longer remember, Skypark Steve has got you covered.

When you are looking for the smoothest airport parking experience possible, nothing beats a high quality on-airport parking service. These car parks are often run by the airport themselves and require very little time and effort on your part. Because they are often within walking distance of the terminal, they offer a convenient and stress free departure and arrival experience.

What is on-airport parking & what are its advantages?

On airport car parks often come with three main choices; short stay, medium stay and long stay, although with many of the UK airports having such high traveller numbers you can often find several variations of each and even business specific car parks.
Almost all official on-airport car parks allow you to park your car personally as well as a “take your car keys with you” option. Offering a wide range of security features, most official on-airport car parks include security barriers, security cameras, regular patrols and even sophisticated ANPR cameras.

How does it stack up on price?

The prices are also very competitive when you compare them to the level of service provided. Skyparksecure.com offer on-airport parking at major airports in the UK including Manchester, Liverpool, Doncaster, East Midlands and Birmingham. As with all airport parking services, prices can vary depending on length of stay. Below is the cheapest price currently on offer at skyparksecure.com for Manchester Airport & Liverpool Airport:

On Airport Service – £27.99 for an 8 day stay (£3.50 per day)

If you’re travelling with a young family during the summer holidays, here are some useful tips to help you get your holiday off to a good start.

Take the stress out of the family holiday this summer

Book a Meet & Greet Airport Parking Service

The thrill of a bus transfer might be perfect for entertaining a younger child, but when you add the challenge of juggling luggage, older siblings and car seats on and off the bus, things can get a bit hectic. With a Meet & Greet parking service, all those potential stresses disappear. You simply have to drive your car, luggage and indeed, children to the airport terminal and hand over the keys to the Meet & Greet chauffeur who is there waiting for you. Once your car is unloaded, you just take your family to the check-in desk, safe in the knowledge that your car is in good hands. Then, on your return a chauffeur will be there to meet you at the terminal with your car warmed up and ready to get you on your way with no delay.

This type of parking service used to be exclusively used by business travellers; however given the convenience it can offer, this is fast becoming the popular choice for the family. With prices currently ranging from as little as £4.75 per day at some UK airports, this is the best choice when you’re looking to get your family holiday off to a flying start.

Book an Airport hotel for the night before you travel

If you have an early morning flight booked, it might be easier to avoid the rush hour traffic and book yourself a family room at an airport hotel the evening before your flight. This will allow you to wake up fully refreshed within walking distance of the airport terminal with plenty of time to prepare for your trip. Some hotel stays come complete with use of facilities such as swimming pool and gym, however check before you book to avoid disappointment.

Consider an airport lounge for your family

Like Meet & Greet parking, the airport lounge service was once considered to be the exclusive choice of the business traveller. Today, many airport lounges are much more welcoming towards families, with some of Gatwick’s airport lounges providing a games room complete with games consoles, pool tables and a soft play area for younger children.

Follow these top tips and make getting to and from your next family holiday an utterly stress free experience.

Working on the web, we have the opportunity to see literally 1000’s of videos related to parking, but this one really stuck in our heads.

When looking at the new Ford Focus and its computerised parking assist feature (see above), we stumbled upon this classic info video form the 1950’s showing parking assist was in the minds of car manufacturers even back then.

Although I personally don’t think id fancy trying the 1950’s “5th wheel” alternative on top of a 9 story car park, would you?

Pre-booking your airport parking has always been important but at this time of year it’s more important than ever.

Save more on Airport Parking by booking in March rather than waiting until July

By booking in advance, not only can you save up to 60% on the price of turning up at the airport, but you have peace of mind in knowing your parking space has been reserved and you are all set for your trip.

But is there more to it?

As you may already know, airport car parks always look to increase their prices during the peak months of the summer especially June, July and August. This has been an industry standard for many years, and in 2012 this shows no signs of changing. Knowing that prices are set to start increasing with some car parks raising their rates as soon as April, now is the best time to save some pennies by pre-booking parking at the airport.

SkyparkSecure constantly check all parking prices and have detailed information on how much our customers paid during 2011.

Let’s take Manchester airport as an example; the average a Manchester Airport customer paid to pre-book their parking during March 2011 was £33.02, that’s a cost of £3.79 per day. Compare that to July of 2011, where the average cost of pre-booking parking at Manchester had gone up to £44.09, increasing the average per day price to £4.47.
In short, if the customer had booked their airport parking in March rather than waiting until July they would have saved approximately £11.09 (27%). Unlike other parking companies, these figures are representative of what the customer actually paid and not the saving on the gate price.

With similar rises across all the UK’s main airports recorded last year, a trend that is set to continue during 2012, now really is the best time to book your airport parking.

Notes to editors:

All of the above data is based on actual booking numbers and costs paid by customers of skyparksecure.com during March and July 2011 for Manchester Airport. All prices shown are averages and exact prices vary depending on length of stay.

Don’t be fooled, this isn’t just some average airport model built in a child’s bedroom. The 150 square-meter model, based on Hamburg Airport, is built to scale at a cost of nearly 5 million.

Frederik and Gerrit Braun, energetic twin brothers with no shortage of dreams, have just finished construction of the world’s largest model airport. With 40,000 lights, 15,000 figurines, 500 cars, 10,000 trees, 50 trains, 1000 wagons, 100 signals, 200 switches, 300 buildings and 40 planes, Knuffingen Airport is both a wonder to behold as well as a technological tour de force. The best part of Knuffingen is that it’s alive. Forty planes and 90 vehicles move about autonomously.

Airport Hotels with Parking are the perfect stress free way to start your trip. We have fantastic prices for on-airport hotels and also hotels with parking close by that offer a free shuttle service to your terminal. An airport hotel the night before your flight not only gets round the problem of traffic congestion but can provide leisure, dining and entertainment prior to your trip.
We have top class hotels available at all major airports along with our popular undercover option that guarantees a great price in a top quality hotel.

SkyparkSecure is also offering customers a full range of airport lounge services. With over 150 VIP lounges worldwide at over 110 airports, including 22 in the UK you can add an extra touch of luxury to your next trip. The lounge pass is becoming the de-rigour way of combating the stress of holiday travel and with prices starting from around £15, it’s easy to see why.
Airport Lounges provide a variety of services that focus on comfort and customer service often including comfortable recliners, complimentary refreshments, newspapers and even gym facilities.

In addition to airport hotels and lounges, we are now offering customers a full range of airport transfer services. Transfers are available across the globe in over 70 countries, operating through over 450 gateways.
The airport transfers service which launched in July this year, has added to an already impressive range of travel extras available on the website. These include airport parking, airport hotels and airport lounges.
The transfer service is becoming very popular with travellers pre-booking onward trips to their resort or destination at the same time as arranging airport parking and hotels. Travel can be stressful and anything which reduces that stress (such as a chauffeur transfer on arrival) is growing in popularity.

While undoubtedly a fantastic event for the UK, the Olympic Games aren’t everyone’s cup of tea. Not only that but if you reside in areas designated for some of the events then the Games can put restrictions on your normal routine.
Road closures, increased costs, an influx of people into already crowded cities can put a strain on daily life.

Perhaps the best way to enjoy the Olympics is to get away from it. Once you are away from the hustle and bustle it is then your choice to either take a complete break from the hype and incessant media coverage or perhaps just pick and choose which events to watch from afar.

At Skypark, we realise that not everyone is going gaga for the Olympics and we’ve decided to offer a special reduced rate on your Airport Parking for those people booking between now and the start of the games on 27th July.
Book your airport parking using the following link and you’ll get up to 15% discount on our already low prices. www.skyparksecure.com/airport-parking/olympics2012

The discount is available on selected products at all the major UK airports.

SkyparkSecure MD David Brown said: “With the Olympics being mid-summer, the prices to fly anywhere are going to be higher, so we’ve decided that with the economy still being precarious we’d like to help in any way we can by offering Olympic discounts on our Airport Parking products.”

SkyparkSecure have bucked the trend and seen remarkable growth during the last few years by offering a wide range of products at the most competitive prices. Along with Airport Parking they now offer Hotels, Airport Lounges, Transfers and very soon Car Hire.

This classic from the 1990′s comedy duo Hale & Pace attempts to show how an airline company based in Yorkshire might look. We saw this in the office and immediately cracked up laughing.
