Heathrow Airport is One of The Busiest Airports In The World

Heathrow airport is one of the busiest airports in the world and actually handles more international passengers than any other airport in the world. It’s quite lucky that we have this airport in England as, because of the amount of flights to and from there, the ticket prices are usually a lot cheaper than from smaller airports. Whilst this not be necessarily true for short city flights within Europe, it is certainly true for more long haul flights.

It is sometimes even worth looking, when booking your holiday, to see if it would work out cheaper to travel to Heathrow from your home town, fly from Heathrow and then commute back again on your return. If there are a lot of people going on the holiday it might surprise you how much cheaper this actually works out. If everybody saves money on the flights then you can use that money to hire a minibus from a company that specialises in Heathrow airport transfers. You could actually be left with a lot more spending money after you have booked your holiday this way rather than flying from say Manchester or Birmingham airport.

Obviously it isn’t ideal that you have to travel way back up the M6 after a long flight home, but if you leave your car at your local airport and try to drive home that isn’t ideal either. Due to the amount of air traffic that Heathrow deals with there is a knock on of lots of road traffic around the airport. It’s definitely not advisable to try to drive in unfamiliar, heavy traffic after a long flight so that’s why it’s sometimes easier to get someone else to deal with all that for you.

Booking your next holiday this way is definitely worth considering. It might surprise you how much money you could save and therefore be able to spend on your holiday rather than in the travel agents. Also the convenience of knowing that the final leg of your journey is taken care of well in advance and that the vehicle will be waiting for you, rather than you waiting around for a cab, is comforting when you are on that long flight back to England.
