Flexible Booking
In the business world plans can change very quickly; meetings can be cancelled and conferences rescheduled so we understand there may be times when you may need to change your booking. That's why we try to offer Flexible Booking on all of our products and if we can't, they're clearly marked to show 'no refunds or amendments'. Flexible booking means you can change or cancel your booking up until one minute to midnight, two days before you arrive at the airport. If you cancel in time, you'll be refunded in full what you paid, minus our cancellation fee of £9 for a parking booking and £15 for a hotel booking.
This means you can easily change your dates and even your location if your plans change.
Cancellation Waiver
We automatically add our Cancellation Protection to your basket at checkout. It costs a little extra, but means you can cancel anytime up to the day before your booking for a full refund and you won't be charged any cancellation fees. Perfect for business travellers who need a little more flexibility. If you don't wish to purchase Cancellation Protection simply remove it from your basket.
Fast Track Security Passes
These amazing little passes can be an absolute life-saver for a business traveller. Allowing you to skip the normal queues at airport security and jump straight into a VIP Fast Track lane, they are perfect for those with a tight travel schedule, or even if you are just running a little late. Starting from just £3.50 per person, our Fast Track passes are a small investment that will save you time, energy and probably a fair bit of patience too, giving you more time to add the finishing touches to that important presentation. Simply add them on to your booking!

Our Top 5 Corporate Traveller Budget Tips:
-
Book in advance:
Save money by booking your airport parking and airport hotels well in advance. -
Be flexible:
There are some great deals for unofficial and offsite car park packages and lesser known hotel brands. Keep an open mind and you'll find you can easily save money for very little sacrifice. -
Be organised:
Booking your airport hotel and parking together in one package can significantly decrease the cost of the other. You can even add your lounge booking too. -
Add your meals:
Filling up on breakfast in the morning at your airport hotel should keep you full for longer and less likely to splash out on pricey aeroplane and airport food. -
Tighten your purse strings:
Restrict the amount of money you can spend on your time away by only using our prepaid FairFX Currency Card for your meals and purchases.

Business Airport Parking

Our Business airport parking is designed to do away with all the waiting and queues, and offer you fast, convenient and easy airport parking you can rely on. Whether you prefer Meet and Greet parking for a more professional and slick experience, or to save a few pounds and jump on a fast, five minute shuttle bus, you're sure to find the perfect business parking option.
Your Business Parking options:

Perfect for last minute meeting prep or those with heavy luggage. On your way back, your car will even be waiting for you.
On-site Parking
These are our car parks within the airport grounds. They may involve short transfers to the airport but they are generally close to the terminal.
Off-airport Parking
Car parks outside the airport boundaries. These car parks are often our cheapest as they tend to be further out than our On-site car parks. However, occasionally some of our off-airports are closer than our on-site car parks, so keep an eye for transfer times and distance. off-airport business parking is suited to business travellers on a tighter budget and with more time to spare; great for small business and regular business travel.
