If you have never tried it before, trust me its worth it. We had a early flight out of Gatwick Airport and usually we would just get up at sparrows fart and drag all the tired and miserable kids into the car, pile in the luggage and drive like a bat out of hell to the airport. Yes, you guessed it; we never ever get up early enough to just mossy on down the high way at a leisurely speed and get to airport on time. In our wisdom, one holiday we booked into an Airport Hotel the night before. It was great. Not only did we get to enjoy a stress free journey to the hotel but we also enjoyed eating out and swimming in the hotel indoor pool and the best part of all was….. we did not have to get up at sparrows to get to the airport. Another bonus was that we got to leave our car parked safely at the hotel (at a small cost of course) while we were driven to the airport the next morning. If you have never considered doing this, take it from me - its worth it! Have a look at our sight for great information on Airport Hotels:

I so nearly missed my flight when I travelled for the first time from Stansted airport because I miss calculated the time it took from the long stay car park to the check-in desk. My next trip out of Stansted I made sure that I allowed an hour just for parking and taking the shuttle to the terminal building and then getting through the crowds to my check-in point. Another time I travelled to Spain (Murcia) I was waiting in the Que, which was long but I had about 10 minutes so did not worry. When I saw the check-in lady close up I was confused because there was still a Que. I discovered that I was in the wrong cue. I had a great big pillar or column in my way and had joined the wrong cue. What a dork! If you want more info about airport parking at Stansted and also Airport Hotels check out Indigoguide. Maybe staying over the night before is that answer.

When we flew from the UK to New Zealand via Dubai, we had a 3 hour stop over at the Airport. What a pleasure to find that the Airports five star Hotel (located at the Sheikh Rashid Departures concourse on level 3) allowed us to hire a room on an hourly basis. This meant that we could shower and relax, stretch out on a bed and watch TV. You can also have a massage, or a swim at the gym. There is also a very handy children’s play area. This was sooo helpful because I had two children and was travelling on my own. We did not have to book in advance so don’t stress about booking, just pitch up like we did.
