There has never been an easier time to travel to and from your UK departure airport, with a wide range of airport transfers available including trains, buses, coach services, taxi services as well as domestic flights.

Planning ahead on how to get there can save you a lot of time, money and stress.

What are the benefits of planning ahead with airport transfers?

o Save time – pre-booking avoids the hassle of queuing up for tickets and it ensures you get off to a smooth organised start, making the beginnings of your trip to be a far less stressful experience.

o Guarantee your place – pre-booking ensures that you aren’t left stranded by not being able to get that bus or taxi when you need it. At peak times it’s often the case that taxi’s and buses are hard to come by, so it’s a good idea to avoid any stress by guaranteeing that you will get picked up or met on your return.

o Save money – take advantage of pre-booked prices and promotional offers on coaches, rail services and taxis by booking them in advance.

What transport to the airport should you choose?

Here are some options:

o Taxis and private vehicle hire – Most local taxi companies have a fixed rate for taxi trips, these can be the cheaper option than using black cabs or taxi ranks depending on how far away from the airport you are.

o Airport coach or bus – All UK airports will have a local bus service, so this is the ideal option if you live close enough to the airport to take advantage of it. There are also national coaches that operate to all the major airports. Read More

Are you coming to Malta this year? Malta is the largest and most populated island in the group which forms the extraordinarily beautiful Maltese archipelago. It is a popular European holiday destination, set in the calm waters of the Mediterranean Sea off the southern coast of Italy, and comprises of the island Malta itself, its neighbour Gozo, the smaller Comino and some other tiny, uninhabited islets.

From the Megalith Temples (Europe’s oldest free standing structures) the capital city Valletta (a World Heritage site) and the Knights of St John to the wonderful beaches and crystal blue seas, there is much to see and do in Malta. Malta has been described as an open air museum as all around the island you will find historical sights and buildings. On the other hand, For the young at heart Paceville near to St Julians has been described as the nightlife mecca of Europe where you can party all night long and to the early hours of the morning. So if you would like to stay at the hotel, tour the island to see historical places or party all night long Malta will satisfy your needs!

You will be arriving at the only International Airport on Malta situated in Hal’Safi. Although a small airport, you will find that it is a very good one, in fact, in 2010 it won the Best Airport award in the 1 to 5 million passenger category. Once you arrive in Malta you will need to get to your hotel, and the best way to do this is to hire a private or shared transfer service, unless you will be renting a car or someone will be picking you up. You can instead get a taxi from the airport or catch a bus, however taxis turn out to be more expensive and buses are not so efficient and you wont find any buses if your flight is a late night one/early morning one. Hence, we recommend booking a shared transfer if you are after a good value and, most importantly, a reliable service. It is better to book the transfer in advance rather than standing in the queue for the airport taxi pick up. Read More
