    how is everyone gettin to the airport? ???

    parents taking you?my parents cant(meanies!!! :D)
    my flight is at 9;15 in the morn,so i dont know wether to stay in a hotel night before travelling else i have to wait at the airport for a night or travel down thru the night and hope theres no traffic else ill be late fore my flight :(

    (I love staying at airports at night,people hate flight delays,i love they sometimes,airports are fun,they get you excited !!!,but I cant bear spending the night there with no one I know,usually its the younger brothers,as much as they annoy me(and I them)they are awsome ,miss them loads,they usually keep my family and i occupied at the airport,but with no ones to talk to till the flight ,I cant bear it.)

    any one know of any cheap hotels near gatwick? ???

    thanx guys ;D :D :)

    I dont know about hotels near Gatwick try lastminute.co.uk...
    Why dont u e mail yummy and ask if anyone from your area is going, maybe they could give u a lift - even if it meant u getting a taxi to their house.
    If not dont worry about the hotel you will be fine honestly its not as bad as it sounds... Pick one with a swimming pool or something then you'll have something to do the night b4...

    I'll be staying in one of the manchester airports the night before i go! mostly coz its a bit far to drive 6 hours to catch a morning flight!lol

    but im guessing my mum and dad will be staying too! although i still would like to have someone from disney there the night before. im not sure if the 2 scottish girls on our arrival group are leaving from there or not though!

    Well the lucky thing for me is that im flying from Glasgow Airport which despite its name is actually in Paisley - where im from so the airport is like a 10 minute drive from my house - yes!!

    There are hotels around there for 50 pound a night with a shuttle bus included with Ibis for example. Or you can stay at the Hilton connected to the South Terminal and get the shuttle between each terminal to the north. It cost about 100 pound a night.

    Try www.gatwick.co.uk

    You can find hotels from there for Gatwick! Hope this helps!

    If that fails, just pop in to your travel agents! They'll have a list!

    Ive been to mans airport so many times id know my way round it in my sleep! Its not very exciting to me - but beats edinburgh airport... theres a couple of bars, restaurants, star bucks, clothes shops etc...

    Well fortunately for me im flying from manchester which isabout 40mins drive, but i dont think my mum and dad like the prospect of setting off at 5 in the morning and then coming back to go towork!

    Marie Guest

    Yeah i know what u mean Feeona... my dad would take me... but my mum is thinking it may just be better to book a car to take me incase something comes up... I'll say my goodbyes at home - its easier that way
