FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

The onset of the Christmas holiday season will place increased demand for Heathrow Airport parking facilities. Finding a place to park in an airport as busy as Heathrow should not be a haphazard venture if you want your holiday to start out on the right footing. One of the busiest airports in Europe – the third, in fact after Paris' Charles de Gaulle and Frankfurt's Rhein Main Flughafen – Heathrow is the gateway for many UK residents going on a holiday to other parts of the world, or visitors on a holiday to the UK. It services flights to more than 90 countries around the globe. This makes it important for you to familiarize yourself with parking facilities in Heathrow if you have a trip in mind.

Fortunately, there are a number of alternatives for safe, convenient parking at Heathrow, both within the airport premises and in the surrounding areas. Within the airport premises, parking facilities are managed by BAA, which also operates the airport itself. In the surrounding areas, parking facilities are operated by private companies like NCP Airport Parking, a division of the large NCP (National Car Parks) company which operates 600 car parks around the UK.

These Heathrow Airport car parks, both within and outside of the airport premises, offer long-stay or short-stay parking, business parking arrangements, valet services and regular shuttles to and from the terminal buildings. Long-stay parking is usually the preferred option for those going on holidays or long business trips. For those staying at the airport for 5 hours or less, short-stay parking is more practical. The valet services are especially useful for large families or those travelling with plenty of luggage. For those cycling to Heathrow Airport, the BAA car parks offer free parking.

The car parks themselves are properly secured. Parking areas are surrounded by security fences, perimeters and interiors are scanned by CCTV cameras and regular security patrols roam the premises. The companies that offer parking facilities at Heathrow Airport make it convenient for passengers to book parking slots. This can be done online through their web sites or at the city centre car parks and offices. The web sites allow you to book a parking space ahead of time at discounted rates, or as close as 24 hours before departure. Changes and cancellations can be accomplished online and payments can be made with credit or debit cards. These companies also provide airport guides through Twitter, iPhones, Android and Blackberry smart phones.

Companies like BAA and NCP operate car parks not just at Heathrow Airport but in most of the other airports around the UK like Glasgow, Edinburgh, Bristol, Birmingham and Liverpool. For regular airline travellers, these companies offer season tickets which entitle the passenger to significant savings in parking charges. A holder of these season passes even become a member of a rewards program.

Before the Christmas rush starts and you're planning on going on a holiday, it's a good idea to check out the parking facilities at Heathrow Airport and other UK airports as well. Good planning when it comes to Heathrow Airport parking can be a pleasant start to your Christmas holiday.
