London Olympics Spells Trouble For Business Travellers

Administrator — Thu, 19 Apr 2012 15:50:56 +0000

Travel to and from London’s airports are set to be gridlocked, as MPs and airlines warn of chaotic conditions during the London Olympics. Longstayparking.org.uk advises travellers to book their long-term parking ahead of time to save worry and money.
WEBWIRE – Wednesday, April 18, 2012

Both MPs and the country’s leading airlines are warning that air travel could turn to chaos as London hosts this year’s Olympic Games. The House of Commons’ Culture, Media and Sport Committee is concerned that London airports will become excessively congested due to people flying into the country to attend the games. Meanwhile, British Airways, bmi, easyJet and Virgin Atlantic are calling for urgent action to avert gridlock in and around airports in the south of England.

The increased volume of air traffic will not only create chaos at border control, but will see huge traffic jams around the airports. For anyone needing to travel by plane during this time, extra precautions will be necessary.

The UK’s online car park booking site, Longstayparking.org.uk, is advising people travelling for business or pleasure to book their parking in advance, for example long stay parking at Gatwick airport London. Off-site parking is being recommended to avoid the expected congestion around terminal buildings.

Longstayparking.org.uk says that booking a parking space ahead of travel will not only save money, but will eliminate the stress of having to find a car park at the last minute. The website is easy to use and offers discount parking at the country’s top airports, including long stay parking at Gatwick. In just a few clicks, Longstayparking.org.uk searches for the best deals on parking in real time, ensuring the customer gets the best prices on parking.

Now there is no need to stay at home during this momentous event for Britain, just make sure to book airport parking space ahead of time, and save money and worry.

Olympic-Sized Fare Hikes This Summer Make It Important To Book Early

Administrator — Fri, 13 Apr 2012 15:42:40 +0000

The Wall Street Journal
By Scott McCartney

Summer vacations are coming up with Olympic-caliber price increases this year.

This week’s Middle Seat (click here to read) looks at how the combination of high oil prices, reduced airline capacity, an improving economy and big events like the London Summer Olympics have pushed the cost of summer travel way up. Fares to Europe, in particular, have shocked some shoppers, with prices up on average 11% over last year, according to searches on Kayak.com, and some trans-Atlantic round-trips currently priced at $3,000 or more.

Summer tickets from the U.S. to Paris priced in January were 22% higher than ticket prices in January 2011, according to Kayak. London was up 14%, and travel experts say as we get closer to the Summer Olympics, which run July 27 to Aug. 12 in London and are likely to draw many vacationers to Europe, prices will go much higher.

There has been a bit of a price pullback in the past two weeks, travel agencies report. Shoppers may be balking at higher prices or making plans to vacation at destinations with cheaper airfares. There are deals to be had at beach destinations, especially in Mexico and the Caribbean.

Ticket prices between Los Angeles and Philadelphia for this summer are down about 20% compared to summer bookings at this time last year, thanks in part to new flights from Virgin America. Bookings for summer travel on that route are up about 80%, Travelocity said.

All that likely means this is a good time to book your summer vacation if you haven’t already done so, especially if you want to head to Europe (and most especially if you want to go to the Olympics). When supply of airline seats exceeds demand, it’s often good to wait for big sales closer to departure. But this year, like last year, the opposite is true: airlines have trimmed out more capacity, and demand likely will exceed supply. As planes fill up, the price goes up. Waiting to buy likely means paying a lot more for your tickets.
