Airport Parking

It’s the little extras which make the difference to your holiday. NCL has teamed up with Holiday Extras to offer you a great choice of hotels and airport car parking options at 27 airports around the UK. All low prices guaranteed*.

Airport Hotels

Forget about traffic hold-ups and start your holiday a day earlier, staying the night before your flight at an airport hotel. Or stay a night at the end of your cruise if you just can’t face the journey home. Prices start at £22.50 per person at Gatwick, £29.50 at Manchester and transfers to and from the terminal are included at most hotels. Many offer free child places**, and leisure facilities.

Click here for Airport Hotels information.

Airport Hotels INCLUDING Parking

Now read carefully, because it’s quite hard to believe, but a pre-departure hotel stay with parking while you’re away is often cheaper than airport parking alone. It might not make sense but it makes for great value with prices starting at just £39.50 per person at Gatwick, £29.50 at Manchester, including up to 15 days parking.

Click here for Airport Hotels INCLUDING Parking information.

Secured Airport Parking

Pre-book your airport parking and not only will you save money, but you know you’ll get a space. Daily prices start from just £2.99 per day at Manchester and from £3.29 at Gatwick. There are car parks close to all major UK airports and many offer free transfers to and from the terminals. You could even choose chauffeur parking where your car is picked up from the terminal and brought back when you fly home. That’s another little VIP option to think about.

Lounge Pass is your gateway to more than 130 lounges worldwide, including 18 in the UK.
