Airport Parking??????????

POSTED BY: paddytat 2 months, 2 weeks ago

I booked VERY cheap flights to Las Vegas from to Expedia Au post. However I fly out from Heathrow and back into Gatwick. What is the best thing to do about airport parking???
I live in Shropshire so will be driving down to London.

Any advice appreciated!!

Don't drive. Use the train. Should be cheaper than fuel and parking charges if you pre-book. http://www.raileasy.co.uk/go/home/ch...tasaid=1002652

Do you have a family member or friend you could ask? i know its a good way but possibly cheaper than carparking and less hassle?

If you park at Heathrow on the way to US , you could get the shuttle bus (national express) between gatwick and Heathrow for your return. This cost £19.50 and I'm sure there'll be cheaper options but this is a convenient one.

many thanks for everyone's advice - will compare train prices for 3 of us against parking and shuttle as unfortunately we don't have any family that could drive us that far and collect us. Might look at how much an airport transfer will cost.

Some of the hotels surrounding Heathrow offer free parking while your on holiday.
You only need spend one night there before you fly out the next morning..they even run a shuttle to the airport...makes sense if your on an early flight.
Cost me about £80 for the hotel with parking when going to the Carribbean for two weeks
