Why Travel Transport Matters
Booked your flights? Check. Booked your resort? Check. What about your visa? Check. These are all the things we worry about, yet they’re the first to get done. Let’s be honest, whichever way we look at travel, transport can benefit us all in some way.
It's not only flights, hotels, visas and vaccinations that matter. Holiday airport transfer is just as important. While many of us don't comprehend the importance of travel transport, even
down to the transport vehicle is something we should be thinking about.
Is it suitable for your party size? Strong enough to carry your heavy load?
Often left to the last minute when we're either skint or dipping into our spending money, travel transport should always be organised with ease.
Understandably, we don't all like the idea of driving to the airport, but many of us also don't like taking the train, the bus or the coach. While train tickets can be cost-effective, they can also be unreliable, uncomfortable and even inconvenient.
Economical, Cheap and easy transport has always been at the forefront of the minds of many travellers, yet it is something most of us decide upon at the last minute.
If you’re a little bit of a nervous wreck like me, you're going to be travelling to the airport too many hours ahead, ensuring you don't miss your flight.
In today's day and age, we have so many options for travel transport. This should be planned well in advance because remember, your holiday starts from the moment you close the door behind you!
To Drive or Not to Drive
We can argue that TFL are always on strike, and you’d be right- pretty much! Every other month or so, trains are not running, buses are late and the schedule is the only thing that is supposedly on time. I can't tell you what happened when I booked the coach to Warwickshire. Yes, you’ve guessed it. My return coach never arrived.
My son and I were stranded in Warwickshire, almost three hours away from home. I had to pay an extra £60, and at a moment’s notice, had to add bus and train to my journey, to return home. Delaying my return journey by another 3 hours, was a complete damper to our trip… One word summed it up. STRESS!
But hey, that's a story for another day.
There are those of us who have been so fortunate to be able to drive, some us of that can't drive and some of us can drive but won't! Either way, there's always an option for us all, and it doesn't have to break the bank either.
