The new site is just 100 yards down the road from their current location, so you’ll still find them easily using the directions we provide.  If you’ve visited Watson’s Ayr Park before, though,  please make note of this change so you can find the new entrance!

And remember, in addition to the great service provided by Watson’s, we also offer three more options for parking at Prestwick Airport:  North Long Stay Parking, which is just over a mile from the airport, and the on-airport Long and Short Stay Car Parks – both within walking distance of the terminal building.

Interest in South Africa and Johannesburg as a holiday and business destination has grown in popularity over the last decade with passenger numbers increasing from over 12 million to over 17 million between 2002 and 2006.  Air traffic movements increased by over 25,000  in the same period from around 175, 000 to more than 200, 000.

To cope with the increased demand of recent years and predicted future growth, improvements at Johannesburg OR Tambo International Airport have included: the construction of a main central terminal building, refurbishment of existing services such as the airport lounges at Johannesburg, the development of the international pier, construction of a multi-storey car park, road infrastructure development and a link to the multi-billion Gautrain station, amongst others.

Celebrity spotting in Tenerife

Tuesday, May 19th, 2009 by Nick

Here’s a hot tip for all you intrepid travellers partial to a little celeb-spotting…….

A major Warner Bros picture ‘Clash of the Titans’ is scheduled to be filmed on location in Tenerife between 15th May and 3rd June. The main locations are the Teide National Park and along the coast in the districts of Icod, Buenavista del Norte and Guía de Isora.

So, if you were considering a last minute deal to Tenerife before the summer rush take our advice and book yourself a lounge at Tenerife Airport. Who knows – you could be relaxing with the paper and a nice cup of Joe when all of a sudden Ralph Fiennes taps you on the shoulder and asks “Is this seat taken?”. Cue a full scale debate with Mr Fiennes as to whether the remake will be better than the 1981 classic – or perhaps he’ll simply make polite conversation about the state of the world economy. Either way – we think it’s a great opportunity to get up close and personal with some of the beautiful people!

PS – Don’t forget your camera.

Luton Airport to introduce a £1 drop-off charge

Friday, April 24th, 2009 by Nick

Luton Airport is to introduce a £1 charge for dropping off passengers at its terminal building this summer. The airport introduced a similar fee last year for the use of its trolleys and for the clear plastic bags used to take liquids through security.

£1 drop off charge at Luton Airport

To avoid the £1 drop off fee when it comes in to force, passengers could be dropped off at the Mid term parking car park to catch the shuttle bus to the terminal. Nic Horton, the development manager for Luton Airport said: “Making a small charge reminds drivers of the ten-minute time allocation and keeps the traffic flowing. “By offering a choice of options we can provide an airport experience to suit the needs of all our passengers.” A date for the introduction of the drop off fee at Luton Airport has not yet been confirmed.
