Heading to the airport for an early morning flight can be a stressful time for many travellers. With rush-hour traffic to negotiate, there’s always the risk of congestion or unexpected closures on the M25 to increase anxiety levels.
However, smart travellers can swerve the early morning airport run by booking a pre-flight stop-over at one of the many nearby airport hotels.
And pairing your parking with a hotel room can often add just a few pounds to your overall bill.
