Let’s picture a scenario for a moment and see where it gets us. Let’s suppose you are travelling out of Edinburgh Airport for a two week foreign holiday. Let’s also say you are heading abroad with your partner and children, making four of you in all. How much luggage do you think you will need?
Most people would pack a lot for a two week holiday for four people. But when you think about packing everything into the boot of your car to make the journey to Edinburgh Airport, you need to think about how you are going to manage to carry it all from the car to the terminal. It’s fine once you get one of those delightful trolleys to put everything on, but before you have done that you have to carry everything yourselves. And most families know that only the adults will be doing the carrying.
So we have a dilemma here to consider. You might think that booking the cheapest airport parking service at Edinburgh Airport is going to be your best bet. It will certainly save you some money but is it the best choice for you when you have such a lot to carry? You also have to keep an eye on your kids and make sure they stay put when waiting for the transfer bus and getting on and off it safely.
Wouldn’t Meet and Greet parking at Edinburgh Airport make more sense in this situation? The idea of saving perhaps £20 or £30 is tempting, but if that saving means you have to struggle with your luggage when you are heading out on holiday and when you are coming back, is it such a good saving after all?
You are probably starting to see the benefits of using Meet and Greet parking when you fly out of Edinburgh Airport with the whole family. You can drive right up to the terminal building and you know someone will be waiting for you so they can take your car and do the parking bit on your behalf. All that remains for you to do is to get a trolley and get everything out of the boot and straight onto the trolley. This results in far less of a struggle than you would have otherwise.
So consider upgrading your Edinburgh Airport parking to the valet service. You will be glad you did.
