Hope this guidelines will help you to plan your holiday with all the best of everything.

Choose a Cheap 5-Star Destination

When you look for a destination, think of a nation first.  Select a nation where your money purchases a considerable measure. At that point discover the luxury experience inside it. If you thinking of North America then scratch that idea and consider Central America.

If  Europe is your destination, the east is certainly less expensive than the west. Consider Budapest, Hungary; Prague, Czech Republic; or Krakow, Poland. Consider nations like Slovenia, Croatia, or Romania. Venture to every part of the border of Western Europe as opposed to the middle. Destinations that are more remote from the middle have a tendency to be more affordable.

Go-Less Central and Less Touristy

Capital city of any country is expensive and far more commercialised as well. Governments may have implemented rules for minimum charges or they would have implemented city taxes.

The Best Alternative for Luton Airport Parking

Your Family holiday this Christmas season is fast approaching. Probably you would have bought a set of new luggage, and latest travel gad-jets. All set to catch your flight, but you still have one final problem to solve. Should you go to Luton Airport Parking and Park your vehicle in the Short stay or long stay car park? It sounds like the best solution isn’t it? Think again. Explore the other transport options available.  You to make it to your flight on time without burning whole in your pocket.

LUTON AIRPORT CARPARKING

Let’s begin with the obvious. Aren’t you  happy to load up the car with the new luggages, hit the M1 or M25. Then park at Luton airport it self. Sounds easy enough! but where are you going to park? Short stay or long stay and where exactly.. If you choose the Long stay then you need to wait for the shuttle bus to take you to the arrival terminal. So Short stay it is! But are you qualified for the short stay? and are you ready to pay £ 49 for each day?  Ok then Long stay it is! Free shuttle runs every 15 minutes and it take another 10 minutes to the terminal (depending on traffic) and £ 23 for each day! It is a bewildering selection.

The option that comes to mind when we think of Luton airport car parking is the long-stay option. Compare the per day charge you opted for the less price. However be prepared to drive around for ages looking for a vacant space. It could be very frustrating to haul your luggage to the shuttle in and out. You will ended up paying roughly £ 190 for a week. Parking closer to the terminal is easy as it’s just few minutes walk to the check in desk. The price tag you are looking is approximately £ 390 per week. Phew!

PUBLIC TRANSPORT & OTHER OPTIONS

If you do not want to drive to the airport, well there are other options for that as well. A taxi from your home to Luton airport. You can prebook your taxi and for a family of 4 it will cost roughly £ 85 (one way) from Northamptonshire without any luggages. Price vary on the number of luggages you take. Alternatively, you could take an Uber. Every country it operates, they manage to acquire a large market share. But the longevity of the company is in question. Recently Uber lost the license to operate in London.

If taxi is out then you still let the train take the strain. You have to make to your local train station before enjoying the crowded trains. If you are lucky it will be a short walk if not its another taxi ride to your station. You may have to change trains and navigate platforms with luggage. Don’t forget the stairs, escalators. You have to allow time for the shuttle bus transfer if you get down at Luton Airport Parkway. If not another taxi from your station to the airport.

If you are a person who has a Do List for everything.. then you may already have a Holiday do list. But some of the points we discuss over hear may come in handy for sure. Isn’t it wise to be prepared rather than feel sorry later on. Sometimes just a one point you over see could ruin your entire holiday. Unexpected flight delays or weather are hard to prevented. However there are situations which is possible to avoid. Havin some time to consider every aspect and put it in a check list is all it takes!

Do you have valid Passport?

How many passengers get to know that they need to renews their passports when they try to check in? Too many.  Some airlines request to fill passport details. You are in luck if your airline asks for this so you can figure this at the very beginning. Expired passport will create a number of problems and could even prevent you from flying.

Visa is required to enter to the destination then  some countries may deny entry if your passport is about to expire. Usually within six months – of the travel date. In order to avoid situations like this, it is best to make sure the passport is valid and up to date.

Keep all the Confrimations together and in order

Everything can easily arranged by using the finger tips! You no longer need to walk in to a travel agency so you may be doing lot of booking and reservations. Flight bookings, hotel reservation, purchasing attraction tickets, booking your meet and greet airport parking, tours and hire vehicles.

Once your receive the confirmations, write down the reference numbers and print all the vouchers/tickets. Take a folder and file it as the order you need. No point writing down these numbers and filing if you forget to take this with you. So add to your check list to carry this file.

Pack your Medicine

If you are under medication then purchase enough plus extra for you to take with you. Buying medicine over board could you be expensive and sometimes you may find it difficult find your brand overseas. Try not to take the exact quantity you need. If there is a flight delay or decides to extend the holiday.. sometimes one of your loved once may want to surprise you.. so take extra and  pack it separately.

Crash cause on local language. You do not have to be an expert on the language if you do not have time to master the language but make an effort  learn very common but useful phrases.

Do not try to pack your favorite food or snacks to take on your trip. You can come back and eat all that later and you may like it more, as you didn’t get to eat while traveling. This way you meet local people and a chat over a meal is an ideal way to break the ice and get to know the locals

Have copies of all the important documents. Don’t wait till you go the new country to make the copies. Have copies of the passport, visa, hotel accommodation, air tickets and any other document you needed. if possible have two copies and keep in two different bags. Its also recommendable to have soft copies of these documents where you can access easily.

Don’t be predictable  – Nothing wrong with having a plan and a travel itinerary. It gives you a guide and pointed out the most important and must see places in the new destination. But it will be fun to act on impulse and do some spontaneous things in the new place.  There could be an event which you were not aware by the time you plan your trip so do not try to stick to the itinerary and miss out interesting events, places. But be cautious, check for more details before attending.

Bring Extra Cash. Bring some extra money so there won’t be any regrets. You may see a souvenir or wanna take part in an event which was not planed. Even you will never know when an emergency occur so its always better to be prepared. But don’t put all the eggs in a one basket. stack the cash in two places so you know you always have extra cash in case you lost or needed.

Remember to Bring a wrap/sarong at All Times. Either to protect you from sun or cold have this ready in your back pack. In some countries you are required to cover your self when you enter religious places. This will come  in handy to cover your self up if you are wearing shorts or sleeveless tops. If not be ready to spend money on burrowing or buying.

Don’t forget to Click. These days there is no need to pack a camera unless you are on photographic tour. Your smart phone and the selfie stick is all you need. But make sure you bring an extra battery which is charged cause you may run out of it pretty soon. Also bring the back up.
