Business facilities and Wi-Fi locations
Many of our customers are business travellers - the ability to park near the airport for reasonable costs, or even make the most of our Meet and Greet services, can help to ease the pressure of business flying.
There are many other ways to help make business travel easier, particularly by making the most of the facilities available at the airports.
One of the best options for business travellers, particularly when flying long haul, is to book into an airport lounge, as these will generally offer unlimited free Wifi, complimentary food and drink, newspapers and quiet, comfortable seating areas where you can relax or work in peace.
If you're flying short haul or not using the lounge facilities, then it's worth knowing where you can access Wifi and for how long, particularly if you're likely to face any delays and need to complete some work. If you're meeting clients or business associates for a meeting, it can also be helpful to know what kinds of facilities are in the area for conference or meeting centres.
