| John,
You might want to consider a compromise between your (potential)
early morning travel problems and your long term parking needs.
Earlier this year (July) when we were flying to Greece (checkin
@Gatwick 5:30 am), we chose to spend the preceding evening at the
Gatwick Holiday Inn. This gave us:
"Kids (under 16) go free" - as per usual with Holiday Inns
Short journey (9 miles) to Gatwick airport on actual morning of
travel
TWO WEEKS parking included in room price (floodlight carpark
monitored by CCTV)
Use of courtesy coach from hotel/airport and airport/hotel on
return. (Runs from 6:00am - we could not use this due to v. early
checkin - got taxi instead).
Not sure what the current room price is - you may want to give them
a ring!
Steve.

| I have used Coutlands several times, I don't know if they are the cheapest,
but they give me a discount from normal rates. I have not checked recently
what their current rates are. I have always had good service from them.

| 1903.6 | BCP for me | IOSG::PYE | Graham - ALL-IN-1 Sorcerer's Apprentice | Mon Jan 30 1995 12:30 | 7 |
| I always use BCP, recently because they give airmiles, but always
because they are efficient and reliable. Also I feel that their
compound is secure, and I know that they aren't going to drive my car
more than a few hundred yards! Finally, I've been there so often, I can
get there on autopilot even when arriving at 5am :-)

| A few hotels around Gatwick will let yuu have free parking if you stay
for one night. The deal was on some TV holiday prog recently and was
something like stay in our hotel (30 quid double room + brekky) and get
one week free parking and a quid a day thereafter. Not a bad deal,
particularly if you have an early flight to catch.
