When Travelling do all you can to Lessen the Stress
English: none (Photo credit: Wikipedia)
Airports have become more stressful places in recent times. Well-grounded fears of terrorism have led to draconian security measures which have added to travelling time. Before flying, it is wise to arrange your trip to minimise the stress you will suffer. Airport transfers are a key part of that.
1. Make things easy
You have arrived in London after a long and tiring flight. Then there are the security checks which seem endless, the customs questions and searches and the inconvenience and frustration of waiting to collect your luggage. The last thing you need when you get outside is to compete with other travellers for a taxi to get you home or to your hotel. That’s why it makes sense to use airport taxi transfers.
2. Less worry and frustration
If you do not have family or friends to pick you up from the airport then taxi transfers are the obvious answer. They are an added cost, that is true, but they save an enormous amount of frustration and aggravation. And the internet makes it so easy to research and choose exactly the type of transfer service you want and can afford. Do read the reviews about the company’s service. If you need to travel, say, from London to Heathrow, using a taxi service cuts the worry about your journey as you don’t have to deal with parking at the airport or taking back a hire car. There is no need to queue and your do not risk taxis, trains or buses being packed out. Your place is guaranteed. You will be taken straight to your destination. You do not need to change buses or trains.
3. Tracking your flight
Most of the taxi transfer companies will offer a return trip from the airport to home. That can be cheaper than having to book a new one when you return to the country. The taxi company can take your flight details and watch for your flight on the day you are returning. They will be able to see any delays and ensure they will be there at the time you return. Because of added security check delays, many people now opt to take nothing but hand luggage with them when they fly. Point this out to your driver as it will allow them to adjust collection times.
Airport transfers are now a whole mini industry within the taxi business. If you are travelling with a lot of heavy luggage, young children or are disabled, they are strongly recommended. Transfer taxi drivers will meet you at the airport with a card with your name on it. These transfer taxi drivers know London and they can get you to where you need to go quickly and efficiently. There are a wide range of services. For a price they can provide elite services such as Mercedes, Ferraris or Porsches, all driven by chauffeurs. Business class, for instance, will include a luxury car, free wireless internet, a newspaper and refreshments.
