Driving to the airport is by far the best way to travel. Just think of the benefits of having a car when you are flying out somewhere. The first is obviously the fact that you are in complete control of your journey. One of the most stressful parts of flying out is the fear of arriving late and missing the plane; all the money that is spent on the accommodation and the flights is wasted because you don’t even make the plane! This is completely allayed if you drive yourself to the airport. By being in complete control of your journey you are able to make decisions that will save your holiday; you can change the route if you are running late or if there is bad traffic or road works ahead, you can stop off for snacks or entertainment for the plane and, most importantly, you aren’t stopping every five minutes at a platform miles away from the airport to pick up a load of extra people who look disapprovingly at you because you have such a large bag.

If you drive to the airport it is essential that you are able to park and there is no better place to do this than Stansted airport. With up to date facilities and CCTV coverage your car is possibly safer here than at home. There is no risk of missing your flight because you can’t find a space because there are more than enough spaces for everyone. Do the easy thing and drive!
