There has never been an easier time to travel to and from your UK departure airport, with a wide range of airport transfers available including trains, buses, coach services, taxi services as well as domestic flights.

Planning ahead on how to get there can save you a lot of time, money and stress.

What are the benefits of planning ahead with airport transfers?

* Save time - pre-booking avoids the hassle of queuing up for tickets and it ensures you get off to a smooth organised start, making the beginnings of your trip to be a far less stressful experience.

* Guarantee your place - pre-booking ensures that you aren't left stranded by not being able to get that bus or taxi when you need it. At peak times it's often the case that taxi's and buses are hard to come by, so it's a good idea to avoid any stress by guaranteeing that you will get picked up or met on your return.

* Save money - take advantage of pre-booked prices and promotional offers on coaches, rail services and taxis by booking them in advance.

What transport to the airport should you choose?

Here are some options:

* Taxis and private vehicle hire - Most local taxi companies have a fixed rate for taxi trips, these can be the cheaper option than using black cabs or taxi ranks depending on how far away from the airport you are.

* Airport coach or bus - All UK airports will have a local bus service, so this is the ideal option if you live close enough to the airport to take advantage of it. There are also national coaches that operate to all the major airports.

* Plane - There are many services now available from local airports to gateways such as Heathrow, Birmingham, Gatwick, Manchester and Glasgow.

* Rail - A large amount of UK airports have direct rail services. Airports with their own rail stations include Gatwick, Manchester, Stansted, Birmingham, Glasgow Prestwick and Southampton. Connecting bus services are available from Heathrow, Luton, East Midlands, Humberside and Glasgow International.

* Use your own car - Sometimes, the only convenient option is to use your own vehicle. It's a good idea to arrange airport parking in advance and to perhaps make the journey get off to an even more relaxed start. If so, perhaps you should consider making use of airport hotels.
