Avoid the Airport Parking Rip Off This Easter With travelsupermarket

travelsupermarket.com Offers Tips to Save up to 572* Per Cent on Airport Parking This Easter

CHESTER, England, April 12, 2011 - Holidaymakers could save up to 572 per cent on their airport
parking (www.travelsupermarket.com/c/extras/airport-parking/) this
Easter just by planning ahead, according to research by travel comparison
site www.travelsupermarket.com.

Savings on airport parking can be made by avoiding short stay
car parks and opting for long stay with an average saving across the 23
airports researched of GBP109.27 per car. However, for the most significant
savings it is always best to book long stay parking in advance.

Travellers embarking on an adventure from the UK's most
expensive airport, Heathrow, this Easter can expect to pay a massive
GBP394.40 for an eight day stay in a short stay car park or GBP133.60 in a
long stay car park. But by booking in advance and staying in a long stay car
park, holidaymakers can expect to pay only GBP68.90 - a saving of 572 per
cent.

Similar savings on airport parking can be made across the
country, simply by booking in advance. Up to GBP146 can be saved at
Manchester International airport, Gatwick airport GBP155, Heathrow airport
GBP314, Birmingham airport GBP94, Edinburgh airport GBP110, Bristol airport
GBP139 and Leeds airport GBP141.

A further option to save money is to consider off airport
parking where pre-booking an eight day stay can save you up to 77 per cent at
Manchester Airport against the best long stay gate price. By pre-booking off
site holidaymakers at Luton could save GBP104.01 for the same stay.

Those using one of the UK's smallest airport can benefit from
the UK's lowest airport parking charges, as both a three and eight day stay
arriving on 16th April will cost absolutely nothing - parking is free at
Blackpool Airport.

Bob Atkinson, travel expert at www.travelsupermarket.com said:
"Holidaymakers are often aware of savings which can be made when booking
their flights and accommodation, but few people consider the soaring cost of
holiday 'extras' such as airport parking. By using comparison websites such
as www.travelsupermarket.com to compare options and by booking far in
advance of a holiday, travellers could save up to 80 per cent on an eight day
stay, bringing the total cost of a holiday down by as much as GBP314 on an
eight day stay at London Heathrow.

"Savings can be made across the country with all major airport
car parks facilitating advance bookings, except Blackpool International which
offers the UK's only free airport parking. The further in advance you book,
the bigger the savings so try book as soon as possible."

Notes to Editors:

* 572% refers to the difference between the gate price of an eight day
long stay car park stay at Belfast International Airport vs. a short stay car
park
