Skyparksecure Travel Blog - THE TRAVEL BLOG by Skyparksecure

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.

Our main guy, SkyPark Steve is just as dedicated as we are to making sure your holiday gets off to the perfect start. Yesterday Steve started his UK Tour to meet and greet customers and check up on all the car parks offered on our web site.

His first stop was Manchester Airport where he met a delighted couple about to start married life with a honeymoon in Cyprus – what better way to get your marriage off to a fly than a hug from Steve?

Steve also made some new friends at Manchester Airport’s Aviation Viewing Park where he watched in delight as planes took off right before his eyes – it was a little worrying to see him more excited than the school children on a day trip.

Steve will be visiting more and more airports over the coming weeks and will be giving more information on what he finds at the car parks.

Yesterday Steve had the pleasure of inspecting JetParks 1, 2 & 3 and Shuttle Park at Manchester Airport. He reported that the security at these car parks is fantastic and the staff are very welcoming.

Customers get to the airport in big comfy shuttle buses that seem to arrive in a never ending stream – no-one waited for more than a couple of minutes for a bus while Steve was there.

JetParks 3 is the farthest from the airport but it is still only 5 minutes away in the bus so it may be the cheaper option from the JetParks range but it is a great official service from Manchester Airport.

Watch out for Steve at more airports over the coming weeks – he may even have a gift for you.

Feel Like a VIP by booking an airport lounge

What a great way to start your holiday; as part of the complete relaunch of SkyParkSecure, we have added a full range of airport lounges to our web site which will be available for you to add to your booking next week.

All over the UK you can enjoy the luxury of up to 3 hours rest and relaxation away from the hustle and bustle of the airport while you enjoy unlimited free drinks and snacks and a selection of newspapers and magazines to read.

With lounges at 21 UK airports, and options available abroad too, you can truly rest in the knowledge that you are in the best possible hands to ensure your holiday gets off to the very best start.

Have a little think about what it costs you when you’re at the airport – by the time you’ve bought food, drinks and something to read it could well end up costing as much if not more than it does to enjoy the relaxing environment of the airport lounge.

Having used a couple myself, I would wholeheartedly recommend them to anyone who loves the idea of a little peace and quiet before your flight.

If you’ve never used and airport lounge before, why not get it booked now. Tie it in with the ease and luxury of Meet and Greet parking and you simply could not have a better start to your trip.

As you know we’re continually trying our best to bring you something new and exciting. With the launch of our new web site we’re adding a series of new products and today I’d really like to introduce you to our new Airport Hotels with Parking options.

We’ve been out there and brought in only the very best of the hotels at airports right across the UK.

We all know that one of the most stressful things about going on holiday is arriving at the airport and what on earth will happen if we get stuck in traffic, have a blow out on the motorway, or even more embarrassing we forget to set the alarm.

There is an alternative if the thought puts the fear of God into you. Have a look at our new web site at the options available to stay at the airport the night before you fly. The hotels are available with our without parking and are located really close to the airport to make sure that you get your trip off to a super start.

All the usual extras are available to you, including booking breakfast if it isn’t included in the price of the room, booking an airport lounge to compliment your hotel stay, have a bottle of champagne in your room and many more.

As with everything we do, we want you to be able to trust us to get your trip off to the best possible start and if you trust us with your much beloved car, then trust us to get you a good nights sleep before you fly.

Since 2003, everyone involved in SkyParkSecure have given enormously to turn a company which was offering a mere, solitary car parking product at Liverpool John Lennon Airport, into a thriving, market-leading business full of innovation and pioneering exciting products and projects.

The result is a revolution, not only in how airport parking is booked online, but also how companies in the industry relate to one another and bringing airport parking products to a much wider audience.

The team have never been afraid to try new ideas and constantly push each other to bring out the best of the company.

So where did we begin? In 2003 when SkyParkSecure were offering only one product the web site was incredibly simple and it was even built in such a way that changing the prices for the parking option at Liverpool airport involved editing the code of the web site.

We were parking a matter of only a few hundred cars a month, but were determined to a lot further. We were proud of the fact that our site was the easiest on which to make a booking for airport parking and we do our very best to continue that concept.

One of the biggest developments as we started to add more products was to make it possible to add and amend products within the system quickly and easily. Funny how this proved to be one of the defining improvements of our system over the coming years – some competitors in our industry still don’t offer this feature in their system in 2011, and this is why we were chosen in 2010 to take over from one of the leading lights in the industry by providing a complete version of our system to another operator in the industry.

By 2006, SkyParkSecure were offering over 200 products and the web site had undergone a complete overhaul. It was now possible to not only add and edit all the products on the web site but there were a whole host of new features.

We’re the first company in the travel industry to pioneer offering customers a MultiMedia Message sent to their mobile phone containing all the information about their car parking booking so they could simply turn up at the car park with their phone.  We made it possible for passengers to travel with one less piece of paper, which proved hugely popular.

By this point, SkyParkSecure were parking around 6000 cars every month and were determined to keep the progress going.

To this end the company underwent a major overhaul; the team running everything online was overhauled and a new structure was put in place to make the team more efficient with a view to releasing a new web site within just a few months.

The changes paid off immediately with a new focus not only on how we worked on adding new features to our web site, but also to how we advertised and marketed our products online.

Our email marketing became more focused, we ventured into the affiliate marketing industry and started work on a complete rebuild of our booking system.

Right now, in 2011, we’re regarded as one of the top players in the airport parking industry. We’re officially rated the number 1 travel merchant on Affiliate Window, where other people sell our products. We’re trusted by car parks all over the country to be their number 1 supplier. We’re leading the way in marketing innovations with exciting possibilities close at hand. We hold close relationships with airports all over the country and have built relationships with some of the major operators online, including Quidco and MoneySavingExpert.

We’re predicting an overall growth of nearly 40% this year on last year, having seen a sustained growth while many in the travel industry have seen their companies struggle and while the actual number of passengers travelling out of the UK declined.

Looking to the future, we couldn’t be more excited about where we’re going. We’re about to launch our fantastic new site which continues the tradition of making airport parking incredibly easy to book, but also adds a whole host of new products for our much valued customers to delve into.

Behind the scenes at SkyparkSecure we’ve been working hard on the new website since beginning of the year. Customer suggestions have been the primary focus behind the redesign effort, and almost all of the new usability features that have been included in new design have come from you.

The main goal of the new website was to make booking process even easier to use and bring a wider range of high quality travel services and products to the customers, making their trips run more smoothly.

The main quote form has now been extended, offering a full range of travel services including

Airport Parking
Airport Hotels
Car Hire
Airport Transfers

We have put a lot of time and effort into making the booking process as simple as possible for the customer, as well as giving the site a fun new look and feel.

The most commonly asked question by our customers was “how do I find directions to the carpark?”

On the new website we’ve addressed this by creating a shortcut, so access to all a customer’s booking details is a simple as it can be. All the information about the customer’s bookings can be viewed in one place, no matter where they are on the website.

Stay tuned for more updates on the new sites development next week.

There are a few reasons we’re excited about the launch of our new web site, not least because it means we can offer you a great range of new travel products and services that we’ve worked hard to put together for you.
