Parking at Blackpool Airport

Jet2.Com is one of the Airlines that Service the Airport

Parking at airports these days is not cheap. Heathrow for example the UK’s premier airport charges over £15 a day even provincial traditional holiday departure airports like Manchester or Gatwick can charge up to £8 a day so it can add a considerable sum to a  family week or fortnight in the sun.

It seems the strain on family budgets this year has been never ending. The exchange rate for the £ to the Euro or the $ has declined markedly over the last 8 Months or so giving very poor value for British travellers wanting to holiday abroad.

Talking from experience we were on the West Coast of the USA last January and a breakfast meal in the local McDonalds set us back almost £50 on the equivalent exchange rate for 2 adults and 2 kids.

So when holidaying abroad it pays to take note of what potential charges you can face when you want to park your car at the airport for a week or two.

If you are within easy reach of Blackpool Airport then there is some good news. This particular airport does not charge for parking for departing passengers for up to 15 days. That alone could save a whopping £225 if a flight was to be taken from Heathrow or £120 if Gatwick or Manchester.

Blackpool is served by the M55 Motorway which of course connects on to the M6 15 miles East at Preston which also has close Motorway links to the M61 down into Manchester and the M62 across into Yorkshire and Humberside, so it is within easy reach of all parts of Northern and Central England. The Borders region and the North East are only a little further afar and what may seem a small inconsideration in travel time could reap rewards in no parking charges.
