The easiest ways to carry luggage to the terminal

By Michael Johnson

Travel luggage is well-known for being, even at the best of times, awkward and unwieldy to carry around with you.

Factor in a pram or pushchair for your baby, additional hand luggage with those baby supplies, and suitcases full of children's clothing, and you've got a real job on your hands.

Meet and Greet

So what is the solution? After all, carrying luggage is just half the battle. You also have to consider the carrying of your baby or use of a pushchair. Perhaps Meet and Greet parking at Gatwick could prove to be the answer to your needs?

On the day of departure you can park your car at the fully-secured Airparks site, then catch the transfer bus to the Gatwick airport terminal you are flying from. On your return to Gatwick, your car will be delivered to the terminal, enabling you to quickly continue on your journey home.

Meet and Greet parking for families enables you to drive direct to the terminal. Here you can unload all your luggage and proceed straight to the check-in desk. Your car, meanwhile, will be taken by one of our fully-insured drivers to a secured car park nearby. As an added bonus, upon your return from holiday your car will be brought to the terminal, ready for your journey home.

What's more, Meet and Greet parking at Gatwick is more than affordable. We offer Meet and Greet parking at Airparks, Maple Manor and Official Valet Parking. Transporting your luggage to the airport has never been easier.

On-airport parking

Meet and Greet parking may be the easiest option, but many prefer on-airport parking - park and ride. Cheaper than Meet and Greet, on-airport parking enables you to park close to the terminal at Gatwick and make the short walk or bus transfer to departures. While you will still have to transport your luggage, the shorter distance makes for a more hassle-free transfer experience.

For on-airport parking at Gatwick, the Long Stay South is the perfect option.

There's no avoiding the fact that transporting your luggage to the terminal can be somewhat cumbersome. So why not take advantage of our parking services and save yourself the hassle?
