UK parking
If you are driving to the airport before you fl y, let us book your parking for you. Alternatively, we can book overnight accommodation at the airport – often the cost of a hotel which offers parking as well is very little extra and ensures you will be at the airport relaxed and in plenty of time for your flight.
Transfers
For most resorts, regular scheduled transfers are included in the price of your holiday as they are the most cost-effective option. For Whistler, Banff and Lake Louise, we guarantee you will be transferred from the airport within an hour of arrival, and once you are in the resort, car hire is not a necessity. However, you should be aware that scheduled transfers to some hotels may involve several stops. Upgrading to a private transfer is a popular option, and better value than you might think, particularly for families or groups of 4 or more.
NB: Arrival private transfer upgrade is free if fl ying transatlantic Club or First class. |
