When some people think of travel, they think of throwing the bare essentials into a rucksack, jetting off to somewhere exotic and hopping from hostel to hostel or booking cheap hotels to stay in.
However, there’s a whole other side to travel that’s characterised by luxury and comfort that you all need to try.
So before your next flight from Heathrow, here are seven travel tips that will ensure you have the best luxury trip.
1. Heathrow lounges
As far as we’re concerned, your holiday begins before you’ve flown off from Heathrow, so indulge yourself from the off by booking into an airport lounge and set the tone for a premium trip. Every terminal at Heathrow has at least one lounge where you can enjoy complementary food, drinks, Wi-Fi and much more.
2. Airport porter
Luxury holidays can require a lot of luggage, but when you’re flying from Heathrow you can save yourself the burden of carrying heavy bags by booking a porter on the Heathrow Airport website. Your porter will meet you at the terminal forecourt and transport your luggage to the check-in area.
3. Fly first-class
Let’s face it – economy seats are rubbish. There’s not enough leg room, they’re uncomfortable and you arrive in your destination feeling like you’ve done 10 rounds with Mike Tyson. Upgrading to first-class will solve this problem, plus, you’ll enjoy other perks such as free drinks and top-quality food.
4. Book a villa
Long gone are the days where 5 star hotels are considered the crème de la crème of accommodation – that title now rightly goes to villas. They’re more spacious and have the same (or better) facilities as home, which means you can really kick back and relax. Plus, you won’t have to share amenities like the pool with other guests – you’ll find holiday villas on Booking.com.
5. Private tour guide
Finding a reputable, certified personal tour guide will seriously enhance your holiday experience. They’ll be able to create a customized itinerary that’s closely aligned with your interests, and they’ll teach you much more about your destination than you could ever learn on your own. A great place to look for a personal guide is the Tours By Locals website.
6. Chauffeur
Finding your way around a new place and getting used to the transportation system can be super stressful. However, if you hire a chauffeur, you’ll be able to relax and enjoy the views as you travel from A to B and so, get more enjoyment out of your trip.
7. Drive to Heathrow
There’s nothing remotely luxury about public transport, so give it a miss and drive to the airport. In your own ride, with your seat perfectly adjusted, you’ll be super comfy as your cruise to Heathrow. And if you book Heathrow Airport parking on SKyParkSecure.com, you’ll find fantastic discounts for a range of parking options.
With these tips to hand, you’ll be able to enjoy a more premium travel experience from here on in.
