Beat the Airport Blues

Holidays are always exciting times. However, getting to the airport can prove to be a nightmare. You can drive and pay to leave your car somewhere? Use the train but have to carry your luggage to your connection to the airport. Use the local taxi service which can sometimes leave your wondering whether he/she will be there when you get back.
There is another alternative. You can drive to a bed and breakfast near the airport, stay overnight and let them look after your car. I recently stayed at one such place, Oakhurst B&B in Tinsley Green, on the outskirts of Crawley. All the rooms are very comfortable with digital TV and en-suite bathrooms. Included in the price is transport to and from the airport. The breakfast is superb with juice, cereals and a full english breakfast, (after 7.00 am) if required. I was given a very warm welcome and the airport transfer was prompt and very comfortable. To make a reservation phone 01293 882425 or visit their website at www.oakhurstgatwick.co.uk Did you also know that some airlines allow you to book your bags in the previous evening if your flight is before 12.00 noon. Thomas Cook Airlines is one airline that offers this service. Oakhurst will run you to the airport the day before your flight to take advantage of this service if you are eligible.
I would highly recommend a stay at Oakhurst, it provides a relaxing and hassle-free start to any holiday
