Our Holiday Guide for before you get to London City Airport Parking

If your reading this then it’s a safe bet that you are doing your research about your holiday, you’ve considered passports and you know where they are right? You’ve thought of insurance? Whether the hotel’s bar or restaurant allows children? What currency does your money need to be? If there’ll be space at London City Airport Parking? In this post I’m going to outline the things you should have bought or planned before you set off for London city airport so you can save yourself from having to talk in an overly loud voice to a native, because you forgot to buy some emergency tampons and can’t navigate your way around the shops. 1 Month to go

So there’s one month to go until the holiday of your dreams, now is the time to get moving. First things first have you spoke to either the holiday agency or your general practitioner about your health? I don’t mean about if you’re in shape or not, I mean if you need vaccinations. I know the sight of that word for many sends shivers down your spine, but if vaccines are required you must get them. Ensure you have all documentation needed for your trip in one place, that is easily accessed and that isn’t frequently visited by ghosts who insist on moving things. This includes, tickets, travel visas (if needed), EHIC (European Health Insurance Card), Insurance details, hotel confirmation, and any other official documents that need to go with you.

2 Week to go

Two weeks left, from my own experience this is when I start looking for grey hairs and buying eye cream as a necessity. This is the time to go and get your money changed into the correct currency for your destination. Why two weeks before? Because this is the point when you can see exactly how many ‘Euro’s’ you have and still have two weeks to add to it, whereas if you wait you have two weeks to dip into it slowly depleting your money. If you’re reading this on the day of departure via London City Airport then go to Travelex.co.uk and pay using your card, and pick up four hours later when you get to the airport.
