Travelling to and using
UK Airports
The information below is intended
as a guide only.
Before you set off
Prior to your journey to the car park,
please ensure you have your passports, money, credit cards
and tickets and know the correct check in times. You should
aim to arrive at the car park at least 30 minutes prior to
your check in time or as otherwise directed by the car park
operator. These details will be on your confirmation. The
weather can be unpredictable in winter and it is a good idea
to check the forecast and if need be with one of the motor
organisations with regard to local weather and road conditions.
Some of the low cost flyers in particular
have quite low baggage weights, which are usually to be found
in the small print on your tickets, or confirmation and the
excess charges can be quite expensive so it is a good idea
to also check the weight of your baggage. Make sure you compare different travel insurance ratings before you fly.
Arriving at the airport.
Check in
The transfer bus from the car will
drop you outside the main concourse and usually there are
plenty of trolleys. The flight display screens located in
the main concourse will direct you to the correct check in
desk where you will be required to produce your passport and
tickets. Your baggage will then be checked for weight and
a boarding card issued. Check in desk staff will advise if
your flight is on time. Flight monitors are to be found throughout
the terminal building giving up to date information.
After check in
Depending on the airport you will
be able to shop, have a drink and a meal prior to security
control. The main shopping areas are however after security
control.
Security
At security your boarding card and
passport will be inspected and your hand luggage will be x-rayed
and inspected. At no point should you leave baggage unattended.
Any unattended baggage will be removed and even destroyed.
Please go to our security page.
Once through security this is when
most travellers begin to relax having reached the car park
and queued through check in and security control. The ladies
can take in some retail therapy and the gent’s enjoy
a drink although not too many.
Usually about 30 minutes from take
off you will be advised over the speakers and by the display
monitors to go to the departure gate ready for boarding. Please
ensure you listen out for these announcements or watch the
screens. Once the aircraft is loaded any passengers will have
their luggage removed as a security precaution and they will
not be allowed on the aircraft once this has been done.
