The Advantages of Airport Accommodation

Article by Adam Singleton

It does not matter whether you are travelling for business purposes or setting off on a well deserved holiday, the trip to the airport itself is crucial. A traffic jam, flat tyre on the car or other unplanned obstacle can throw even the most accurate plan into disarray and whatever the reason for travelling, no one wants to miss a flight they have booked and paid for. Around one in every eight travellers fails to catch a flight every year and missing your departure can end up being costly, not to mention the inconvenience of having to rearrange your travel plans. As the run-up to jetting off can actually be quite challenging it makes sense to stay in a hotel close to the airport the night before your departure. Transport fears are allayed, no route planning is required and you can sleep safe in the knowledge that you are just a hop, skip and jump away from the airport. Staying in a hotel which lies in close proximity to the airport means you have a short trip ahead of you when making your way to departures the next day so you have some extra time to play with. You might want to squeeze in a few extra hours sleep, hit the gym or simply enjoy a leisurely breakfast. Whatever you like to do in the morning you will have more time to do it when you stay in an airport hotel.Ensure every minute from take-off to touch-down is hassle free by exploring the airport hotel options available to you. Use the internet as a research tool, ask friends and family or call the airport you are travelling from to find out what the options are.Once you have chosen and booked your hotel then all you need to do is check-in the day before your departure. Once you have located your room and dropped off your bags you can begin to relax and make use of the facilities available. Depending on the airport hotel you choose you might have access to leisure facilities so you can work up a sweat in the gym or take it easy in the sauna. You can take a break from cooking and dine out at the hotel restaurant or take a seat in the hotel bar for a few drinks before bedtime. Individual airport hotels offer different facilities so check your chosen accommodation before arrival to ensure you make the most of your trip from the very beginning. Most airport hotels offer a regular shuttle service to the terminals so you can simply step on one of these in the morning and arrive at check-in within minutes.Wherever in the United Kingdom you are travelling from you should be able to find an airport hotel. From Gatwick airport hotels to those situated in Glasgow, there is usually an option for everyone.

Question by Pollana Y: Would I be wrong if I never EVER spoke to him again?
–5yrs ago was in a relationship with a guy riding the biggest emotional rollercoaster of my life. I was innocent & naive; he was the big bad wolf (at the time I had no idea) Best thing that happened = I emerged a strong woman & eventually moved on.
–2 yrs ago he began “his quest to track me down,” calling everyone & everywhere I’d been. When I found out I did not return calls to# left w/frend(did not want to revisit the pain); however, when he from several states away ended up in my hometown (he drove up) I agreed to go to dinner with him =AWKWARD + he told me that he now has children but still unmarried and ready to be intimate that night. I politely (always trying to be nice) left him at the restaurant.
–Over the past year he contacted me again sincerely asking for only a friendship. I agreed. We had several pleasant phone conversations (except for 1night when in his drunken state he called yelling and cursing and telling me he loved me at the same time) But he HAD matured. We were actually friends! For months he asked me to visit, but I declined. 4 months later I said yes. He paid for the ticket. I flew out.
–What did we do? Nothing. Day 1 picked me up from airport. Told me that he had to work that day (not mentioned before). Cooked me breakfast and left me in apt. alone w/ no entertainment (no books, no TV, computer locked down) He called & came by periodically to make sure I didn’t leave, but where would I go? The place was ducked off several miles away from civilization. The only place he took me that day was to WALMART to get milk. Next day I told him I had to do something or I would go crazy after being cooped up. He said OK, told me to get dressed and left while I was in the bathroom. When he came back we were to go to the movies and mall. Went to the mall where he rushed me out after 30min. He made a point to hug or get close to me only when other guys were looking (though he said that we shouldn’t get attchdto one another=DUH he didn’t have to tell me that) and if we weren’t in one another’s vicinity and aguy approached me, he would suddenly appear right beside me. After the mall we drove around for 2hrs looking for a barber for him and when we found 1 he left me in his car for 2 1/2 hrs while he got a cut. We had dinner and then he informed me that he would be leaving early in the morning for a flight back to his mother’s (I confirmed that this was true) but his flight was 6 hrs before mine!! He did not want to leave me in the apt. and have me take a cab; he preferred me to wait in the airport he said. I again POLITELY asked him to drive me to an inn with a shuttle service b/c I’d spend the night there and make my way to the airport by my darn self! So I came out of pocket for that and he stayed the night in my room! (It happened that there were 2 beds–later that night he asked me to get into his and I NOT POLITELY told him hell no) He left early
–Later in the week I texted him to thank him for whatever nice gestures he made and I haven’t called him since. He has called me but I have not answered. SOOOO would I be wrong if I never spoke to him again? I mean it. My friends tell me not to burn bridges but that bridge has already exploded.
