  No option for LHR T4

    I’ve seen T4 HIE & CP multiple times when booking these packages over past 2 years.

    The disappointment for me is P, S & G is only offered for the T2/3 HI & not Staybridge Suites. I’ve contacted hotel a couple of times asking if they would negotiate a package staying at SS but they won’t play ball beyond quoting the standard £16/day.

  8 days parking at Glasgow starting 16th March: £51 long stay with shuttle, £89 short stay opposite terminal with money off via cash back.

  I find the “sometimes” cheaper to be rarely cheaper outside of London. Albeit on a very limited sample size.

  I tried to book for Heathrow via this site a couple of weeks ago and kept getting a message saying no hotels met my requirements, even when I then tried some test bookings for random dates. When back to the app and some options did appear Just tried again and getting the same issue, compounded by only the Bath Road Holiday Inn offering just an 11-day parking package for a 3-night trip. I was wondering if IHG were still in the park and fly game.

  This is all well and good but once you add the cost of 4 on the hoppa at Heathrow the overall price soars. Yes you can use some TFL buses but the 430 early morning often leaves large numbers of people behind from the Hyatt point onwards. Central area buses are more frequent.
  Recently I have been getting dropped off at T5 long stay to avoid the the latest Heathrow rip off fee and, even with bags, surprisingly convenient!

    I’d be interested to know if you can actually get dropped off/picked up from the Business parking to avail of the higher frequency minibuses. Most car parks will allow you to leave for free within 5 or 10 minutes.

      Long Stay free pickup/drop off is an official feature with 30mins free parking. Not sure if you can do anything in business parking. Presumably they will let you exit without charge if you went to the wrong place by accident?! The business car parks only have a daily rate for drive up though rather than shorter periods for Long Stay.

  I’m just getting the ordinary booking page or the “no hotels” message when I use the link. I’ve previously booked park and stay by selecting the “packages” option on the hotel page, which then shows if there any of these available.

  The downside of hotel parking packages is that you are not guaranteed a parking place, so if you arrive and the hotel is also hosting a conference or wedding and the place is heaving you may struggle to park your car. This happened to us and the Reception staff just said there was nothing they could do. After about half an hour of driving round and round we did find a space but then almost got into a fight with another person trying to access the same space. We almost missed our flight I will not repeat the experience, (the nights stay was at the end of the holiday).

  Hilton used to do it at their airport locations a few years back… I remember that the car park was onsite and they were flexible as to whether the night can be used at the beginning or end of the car park (useful if coming back on a late flight).
  This was pre-covid so can’t say if this got enhanced

    The MAN DT still does this but prices are astronomical, the actual airport car parks which can be nearer the terminals are better value atm.
