Holiday Extras has announced that as of 18 June 2010 they will be closing the Airparks car park they own and operate near Manchester Airport.

Airparks Handforth Dean is closing its doors on 18 June

Any customers who have previously booked their parking at Airparks Handforth Dean will be offered a free upgrade to Securapark or JetParks, both of which are located closer to the airport.  New details and directions to the car parks will be sent to all existing bookings via email.  (Holiday Extras will continue to operate their Airparks Meet & Greet parking service for Manchester Airport.)

As always, your best source for a non-biased airport parking price-comparison service is gosimply.com, where you can choose from 21 different Manchester Airport parking services including Purple Parking Manchester, APH Manchester and the Manchester Airport Multi-Storey Car Park.

Remember the last time you stayed in a hotel and found the complimentary breakfast a bit disappointing?

Better than toast alone?

What was it?  A slice of toast with a small packet of jam in your least favourite flavour?  Or was it a day-old apple danish you had to struggle to chew and swallow?  A child-size packet of cold cereal maybe?  I suppose your day could only go ‘up’ from there…

How does this sound, though?  Imagine tucking in to a FREE hot breakfast that includes scrambled eggs, bacon, sausages, warm pastries and fresh, hot coffee (including cappuccino and espresso)!

No, you’re not dreaming.  All this can be yours when you book a hotel stay at one of the locations currently on offer from gosimply.com, like the Holiday Inn Express Birmingham or the Stansted Airport Express by Holiday Inn.

And remember, no matter which Holiday Inn Express you choose, breakfast is included in the price of your room, leaving you with a full stomach and slightly fuller pockets to boot.

We’ve been offering three different options for Long Stay Parking at East Midlands Airport for some time, and now we’re happy to announce we can offer our customers the opportunity to pre-book Short Stay Parking.

East Midlands Airport Short Stay Parking is located right outside the terminal building, so it’s only about a two-minute walk to check-in.  Now, what could be more convenient than that?  Plus, you get the peace of mind knowing your vehicle is safe and sound in a secure,  on-airport car park.

Just look at these great features:

• Round-the-clock CCTV coverage
• Entry and exit barriers for extra security
• An Automatic Number Plate Recognition system for convenient entry and exit

More details can be found on our East Midlands Airport Short Stay Parking page, where you will also find links to the other great services we offer like Prestige Meet and Greet Parking and, of course, the cheapest Long Stay Parking at East Midlands Airport to be found anywhere.

As always, gosimply.com offers the best deals around on airport hotels (with or without parking included) no matter where you’re flying from.  So when you’re planning your trip, visit us first and we’ll help make your journey more enjoyable and save you some money at the same time…because smart people gosimply.

So here’s the deal.  The gosimply Brain Trust were sitting around one day, furiously generating cranial heat, when someone said “Hey! If you were a hotdog…would you eat yourself?  It’s a simple question; a baby could answer it:  If you were a HOTDOG…would you EAT yourself?”

Now, I know what you’re thinking.  You’re thinking, “Wow!  Those gosimply folk really know their stuff!”, and you’d be entirely correct, because out of that same Great Commune of Minds came the idea you’re about to hear.

See the car park with Street View at gosimply.com!

Have you ever been trying to find some place you’ve never visited before, and would love to know what it looks like so you can recognise it when you see it?  Would you like to be able to at least get an idea of surrounding landmarks that would help you know when you’re getting close to your destination?

Well, if you’re looking for an airport car park, rejoice!  gosimply.com has now incorporated patented Google Street View technology to let you, dear customer, view the car park of your choice with just a few clicks (and maybe a couple o’ “drags”).

That’s right, you can now view around 70% of the car parks we currently offer using Street View.  (The other 30% don’t have Street View available yet, unfortunately.  We’ll keep an eye on that and let you know.)

So, not only can you now see the entrance of the car park and its surrounding area, but also get an idea of where your vehicle will be stored before you make your booking.  How helpful is that? (Here’s where we’d like you to say “Very!”)

If you don’t mind us tooting our own sousaphone, we might add that we’re the first to offer this, too.  So next time you’re in need of airport parking, visit gosimply.com and take advantage of our Google Street View feature.  Then really push the boat out and treat yourself to a hotdog (we recommend the brown mustard).

Wherever you’re going, gosimply.

By now, you know that gosimply.com should be your first and only stop for the best deals on your travel extras. Now there’s even more reason to come to us when you want to book an airport lounge!

New lounges and lower prices!

Our partner provider, Lounge Pass, has added several new lounges over the past couple of months, meaning we can now offer great prices on over 150 lounges at more than 110 airports worldwide. Don’t worry about whether or not you’ve got the right type of ticket to get access to the lounges either. Anyone and everyone is welcome to escape the crowds and noise of the airport terminal and chill out in comfort.

We’ve also got new, lower rates for UK airport lounges (some as low as £13.50 per person!), so there’s little excuse for not taking advantage of the VIP treatment on offer.

No matter where you’re travelling, it’s very likely we’ll have a lounge for you to enjoy, so pre-book your airport lounge today and see just how relaxing a trip to the airport can be. You’ll start your holiday before you’ve even stepped on the plane, plus you’ll have the satisfaction of knowing you’re one of the smart people who gosimply.

Watson’s Ayr Park, which provides car parking near Prestwick Airport, have announced they will be temporarily closing from the 5th of January 2010 to the 28th of February 2010 whilst undergoing maintenance and ground work.

Any customers who are due to arrive within these dates will be upgraded to the Prestwick Airport Long Stay Car Park 3, where their existing booking will be honoured.  Long Stay Car Park 3 is within walking distance of the terminal building and offers excellent security for your vehicle, including CCTV, high security fencing and regular security patrols.

If you are affected by this temporary closure and have any questions, please don’t hesitate to email us via our contact form and we will be happy to assist you.

As of the 1st of January 2010, Courtlands Parking at Heathrow Airport will be closing its doors.

Any customers who have pre-booked their parking at Courtlands for after the 1st of January (or any who are set to return after the 4th) will be upgraded to the Long Stay Car Park T1&3, which is located on-airport and features a convenient Automatic Number Plate Recognition system.

Heathrow location closing

Those travellers who are affected by this change will receive notice along with new arrival and departure procedures, and anyone with questions and concerns can write us using our handy contact form.

Although Courtlands at Heathrow is closing, there are plenty more outstanding car parks to choose from.  We recommend the gosimply Award-winning Quality Airport Parking, which is highly-rated by customers who have used their service.  If you prefer to drive straight to the terminal, check out Aardvark Meet and Greet, Meteor Parking or one of the other meet and greet parking services at Heathrow and experience how hassle-free airport parking can be.

Much like double-choc ice cream, double cream and double glazing – sometimes the best things in life just come in pairs, and now is the best time for some hot savings on our killer combination airport hotel and parking offers.

Our hotel and parking packages offer a cracking way of grabbing a night’s accommodation before your flight – often for little more than the cost of airport parking itself. Sound too good to be true? Read on……

Let’s face it, there’s nothing quite like waking up fresh and raring to go – car already parked with nothing more to worry about than a 5 minute jaunt to the airport terminal. It certainly beats those horribly early starts that leave you cream-crackered before you’ve even touched down. Even better, the combined savings we’re able to offer through our providers often means you get both for virtually the same cost  as one or the other. We think it’s also a great way to start your holiday a little early – and with savings like that, who’s arguing?

As with most offers, the earlier you book the better, and prices will vary according to the usual parameters such as availability, dates and so on.

So check out the unbeatable prices on our airport hotel and parking packages, and you’ll soon see why so many smart people gosimply!
