The most popular way of travelling to an airport is by car. The reasoning behind this is very simple – the benefits of driving your car and parking at the airport far outweigh both the benefits of using other forms of transport and the problems of using the car. The main benefit is the fact that you are in complete control of your journey which is of innumerable benefit to people who are travelling on the day of the flight. The last thing that you want to be doing is getting yourself stuck in traffic when you are trying to get to the airport for your flight. This is the main problem with using a coach or a train – if there is a delay when you are stood at the platform or there is a cancellation, you are unable to do anything about it apart from watch as your flight and holiday plans go up in the air.

All the old stereotypes about the car parking systems at airports are now no longer the case – especially at Cardiff airport. The cost is not an issue any more. It is true that it used to be very expensive which has put many people off but now it couldn’t be better value for money. To park your car for a day it costs £20. A week holiday will cost you £140 in parking which may sound like a lot, but compare it to the amount that you will have to pay in trains, taxis and buses and you’ll realise that, in actual fact, you will be saving money. And in this age of recession, you want to be saving as much money as possible!
