Enhance Your Holiday

Ideally, we’ll arrange these before your final holiday payment is due, so everything can be brought together in your plans. Let me know early if you’re considering a flight upgrade, airport lounge, hotel, parking, transfers or a particular experience.

If you’ve already paid in full, do still ask. It may be possible to add something afterwards, depending on availability and the supplier’s booking conditions. Travel currency can be ordered separately nearer your departure date, allowing enough time for delivery.

Start with what would make the biggest difference to you. For an early departure, that might be a hotel close to the terminal. On an overnight flight, it could be a more comfortable seat. If you love understanding the places you visit, a private guide might be your priority.

I’ll help you weigh up the benefits and costs around your particular holiday.

Yes. Currency Online Group offers home delivery using Royal Mail Special Delivery, with discreet packaging and insurance of up to £2,500 per package. Deliveries normally need to go to your registered home or billing address, and someone will need to be available to sign for the parcel.

It depends on how much you order. Currency Online Group currently lists free delivery for orders over £750, a £5 delivery charge for orders between £300 and £750, and a £10 charge for orders below £300.

Check the total shown when ordering, as charges can change.

Allow a few working days before you leave, rather than arranging delivery for the day before departure. Check the available delivery dates when ordering and choose one when someone can receive your parcel.

Currency Online Group notes that delivery delays can occasionally happen, so a little breathing room is sensible.

Absolutely. Tell me what you enjoy, whether that’s food, history, wildlife, walking or time on the water. I’ll look at the experience itself as well as the practical details, including its length, pace, group size and any age or mobility requirements.

We can also leave space in your itinerary for exploring independently.

A private tour can give you more flexibility and time with your guide, particularly if you have specific interests or want to explore at your own pace. A small group experience can be a lovely way to meet other travellers and share an activity.

The best choice depends on the particular tour, how much flexibility it offers and what you’d enjoy most.

Extra legroom usually means a seat within the economy cabin with more space in front of you. Premium economy is a separate cabin on selected flights, typically offering a wider seat, greater recline and enhanced dining.

The details vary between airlines and aircraft, so I’ll explain what’s included on your particular flight.

Not automatically. Lounge access depends on the airline, cabin, ticket and any qualifying membership benefits. For example, British Airways includes lounge access with its business class service, while premium economy alone doesn’t qualify under its published lounge access rules.

I’ll check your entitlement before suggesting a separate lounge booking.

Yes, many independent airport lounges accept passengers regardless of their airline or cabin. You’ll need a lounge accessible from your departure terminal, with opening hours that fit your flight.

Bookings are usually for a set period rather than unlimited access. No1 Lounges, for example, normally allows entry from three hours before your scheduled departure.

Some are, although age restrictions and facilities vary. No1 Lounges, My Lounge and Club Aspire welcome children, while Clubrooms doesn’t admit guests under 12.

A lounge that accepts families won’t necessarily have play facilities, so I’ll check what’s available and help you choose a suitable option.

Yes, hotel and parking packages are available at many UK airports. Your car might stay at the hotel, or the package may include a separate car park or meet and greet service.

I’ll check where you leave your vehicle and how you reach the terminal, so you know exactly how the morning of departure will work.

With meet and greet, you hand your car and keys to a driver at a designated location near the terminal, and they park it for you. With park and ride, you leave your vehicle at a car park and take a shuttle to departures.

Meet and greet can reduce the amount of luggage handling, while park and ride usually involves more transfer time. Exact arrangements vary by provider.

Additional parking charges may apply if you return after your booked collection time. If you’ve chosen meet and greet, contact the parking provider using the number on your confirmation to update your arrival details.

Some bookings offer late return cover, but this needs to be included specifically rather than assumed.

This depends on your transfer provider and booking conditions. Some services monitor your flight and adjust the collection time, but included waiting periods and arrangements for longer delays vary.

I’ll confirm the details for your booking, including who to contact if your flight changes or you’re delayed collecting your luggage.

Tell me what you need before booking, including your children’s ages and any pushchairs, wheelchairs or larger bags. Child seat availability varies between providers, and the right vehicle depends on your luggage as well as the number of passengers.

I’ll check what can be confirmed, so we can choose a suitable service.
