Popular holiday extras

Each card opens the matching section on Holiday Extras. Pair these bookings with competitive travel money so you are covered for fees, tips and places that only take cash.

Airport hotels
Wake up minutes from check-in, skip the dawn motorway dash, and start your trip rested — especially handy for early flights or long connections.
Airport lounges
Escape the crowds with quiet seating, Wi‑Fi, and refreshments before you board. Often better value than airport food and drinks bought separately.
Airport parking
Compare meet-and-greet, on-airport, and park-and-ride options. Booking ahead usually beats turning up on the day.
Car hire
Pick up a rental at the airport or in-resort. Useful when public transport does not reach your accommodation or you plan day trips.
Airport train tickets
Trains to Heathrow, Gatwick, Stansted and other hubs can beat taxis on price. Compare airport express and standard routes in one place.
Travel insurance
Medical costs, cancellations, and delays abroad can be expensive. A policy matched to your trip is as important as your passport and spending money.
