As the days get warmer and longer, my mind starts to turn to thoughts of holidays and relaxing in the sun. So, why not get my holiday off to the good start by choosing the best possible way to get to airport.

Travelling by train is undoubtedly the most scenic way to travel but I remember a really bad experience with train from my last holiday break. It was scheduled to leave at 07:24 in the morning. It was 07:24, but no train to be seen … and no announcement, nothing. At 07:45 the train arrived. Of course, trains never compensate for their delay once they’re on the track, so I didn’t catch the connecting train. Instead I had to take the regional train (much slower). That ‘s what people face while travelling by train.

Coach is a great cheaper alternative to travelling by train. But of course tickets are often cheaper the further in advance you book them. From my experience I can say that coach travelling has never been more uncomfortable, with not enough personal space. In fact, on a recent journey, a seatmate turned to me and asked, “My dear, are the seats getting smaller and a smaller, or we are just getting bigger?” Yes, there is nothing better than a cramped, noisy coach ride.

So, is there really nothing left except from expensive taxis?

Yes, taking a cab can be the fastest and most convenient way of travelling from an airport to your accommodation, or for taking you home safely at night. A taxi driver is to meet you at the agreed pick up point. It’s like having a friend meet you at the airport. He is there even if your plane is delayed, knows where you are going to and takes you there.

I always use taxi transfers because arriving in a foreign airport is disorienting enough; it’s nice to know you can get to your hotel without a hassle. But what about the cost of having such a comfort? I can assure that there is a wide variety of taxi services offering a low price airport transfers for example to http://www.fairfare.co.uk actually invites you to submit your own price.

Why does to http://www.fairfare.co.uk allow me to determine the price of my airport transfer? Research has shown that many customers have a good idea of current taxi prices between cities and major airports. Other have a good idea of how much they wish to pay or indeed can afford to pay before considering other means of transport. With to http://www.fairfare.co.uk you may simply enter your price expectation and see if any taxi operator accepts it. If an operator is looking to sell an otherwise unused journey leg, you may hit on a real bargain. Have a go!
