If you’ve got an early flight out of Bristol Airport, then we’ve got a great new way to get your holiday started a day early – book a stay at the Plush Hotel!

Just one of the Plush Hotel's fantastic guest rooms available to book today!

This boutique hotel is located approximately 2.5 miles from Bristol Airport and boasts amenities like a large flat-screen television and free Internet access in each room, plus an indoor swimming pool with Jacuzzi.  Just check out some of the photos of the Plush Hotel, and you’ll see why we’re so happy to be able to now offer it to our customers.

With its panoramic views of the Mendip hills on one side and the vales to Wales on the other, plus beautiful individually-decorated guest rooms, you’re guaranteed a unique  experience when you book the Plush Hotel.

As always, gosimply.com offers the best deals around on airport hotels (with or without parking included) no matter where you’re flying from.  So when you’re planning your trip, visit us first and we’ll help make your journey more enjoyable and save you some money at the same time…because smart people gosimply.

So here’s the deal.  The gosimply Brain Trust were sitting around one day, furiously generating cranial heat, when someone said “Hey! If you were a hotdog…would you eat yourself?  It’s a simple question; a baby could answer it:  If you were a HOTDOG…would you EAT yourself?”

Now, I know what you’re thinking.  You’re thinking, “Wow!  Those gosimply folk really know their stuff!”, and you’d be entirely correct, because out of that same Great Commune of Minds came the idea you’re about to hear.

See the car park with Street View at gosimply.com!

Have you ever been trying to find some place you’ve never visited before, and would love to know what it looks like so you can recognise it when you see it?  Would you like to be able to at least get an idea of surrounding landmarks that would help you know when you’re getting close to your destination?

Well, if you’re looking for an airport car park, rejoice!  gosimply.com has now incorporated patented Google Street View technology to let you, dear customer, view the car park of your choice with just a few clicks (and maybe a couple o’ “drags”).

That’s right, you can now view around 70% of the car parks we currently offer using Street View.  (The other 30% don’t have Street View available yet, unfortunately.  We’ll keep an eye on that and let you know.)

So, not only can you now see the entrance of the car park and its surrounding area, but also get an idea of where your vehicle will be stored before you make your booking.  How helpful is that? (Here’s where we’d like you to say “Very!”)

If you don’t mind us tooting our own sousaphone, we might add that we’re the first to offer this, too.  So next time you’re in need of airport parking, visit gosimply.com and take advantage of our Google Street View feature.  Then really push the boat out and treat yourself to a hotdog (we recommend the brown mustard).

Wherever you’re going, gosimply.

By now, you know that gosimply.com should be your first and only stop for the best deals on your travel extras. Now there’s even more reason to come to us when you want to book an airport lounge!

New lounges and lower prices!

Our partner provider, Lounge Pass, has added several new lounges over the past couple of months, meaning we can now offer great prices on over 150 lounges at more than 110 airports worldwide. Don’t worry about whether or not you’ve got the right type of ticket to get access to the lounges either. Anyone and everyone is welcome to escape the crowds and noise of the airport terminal and chill out in comfort.

We’ve also got new, lower rates for UK airport lounges (some as low as £13.50 per person!), so there’s little excuse for not taking advantage of the VIP treatment on offer.

No matter where you’re travelling, it’s very likely we’ll have a lounge for you to enjoy, so pre-book your airport lounge today and see just how relaxing a trip to the airport can be. You’ll start your holiday before you’ve even stepped on the plane, plus you’ll have the satisfaction of knowing you’re one of the smart people who gosimply.

Watson’s Ayr Park, which provides car parking near Prestwick Airport, have announced they will be temporarily closing from the 5th of January 2010 to the 28th of February 2010 whilst undergoing maintenance and ground work.

Any customers who are due to arrive within these dates will be upgraded to the Prestwick Airport Long Stay Car Park 3, where their existing booking will be honoured.  Long Stay Car Park 3 is within walking distance of the terminal building and offers excellent security for your vehicle, including CCTV, high security fencing and regular security patrols.

If you are affected by this temporary closure and have any questions, please don’t hesitate to email us via our contact form and we will be happy to assist you.

As of the 1st of January 2010, Courtlands Parking at Heathrow Airport will be closing its doors.

Any customers who have pre-booked their parking at Courtlands for after the 1st of January (or any who are set to return after the 4th) will be upgraded to the Long Stay Car Park T1&3, which is located on-airport and features a convenient Automatic Number Plate Recognition system.

Heathrow location closing

Those travellers who are affected by this change will receive notice along with new arrival and departure procedures, and anyone with questions and concerns can write us using our handy contact form.

Although Courtlands at Heathrow is closing, there are plenty more outstanding car parks to choose from.  We recommend the gosimply Award-winning Quality Airport Parking, which is highly-rated by customers who have used their service.  If you prefer to drive straight to the terminal, check out Aardvark Meet and Greet, Meteor Parking or one of the other meet and greet parking services at Heathrow and experience how hassle-free airport parking can be.

Much like double-choc ice cream, double cream and double glazing – sometimes the best things in life just come in pairs, and now is the best time for some hot savings on our killer combination airport hotel and parking offers.

Our hotel and parking packages offer a cracking way of grabbing a night’s accommodation before your flight – often for little more than the cost of airport parking itself. Sound too good to be true? Read on……

Let’s face it, there’s nothing quite like waking up fresh and raring to go – car already parked with nothing more to worry about than a 5 minute jaunt to the airport terminal. It certainly beats those horribly early starts that leave you cream-crackered before you’ve even touched down. Even better, the combined savings we’re able to offer through our providers often means you get both for virtually the same cost  as one or the other. We think it’s also a great way to start your holiday a little early – and with savings like that, who’s arguing?

As with most offers, the earlier you book the better, and prices will vary according to the usual parameters such as availability, dates and so on.

So check out the unbeatable prices on our airport hotel and parking packages, and you’ll soon see why so many smart people gosimply!

The winter holiday season is here once again, a time when many of us are looking to the snowy slopes for that annual dose of fun and frolics en piste.

We’re sure you’ll agree – there’s nothing quite like the exhilaration of flying down a black run with the wind in your hair and the winter sun on your face. Then again, perhaps you’re one of the growing number of intrepid travellers seeking a winter holiday with a difference.

How about a Husky safari? No? Maybe a  tailor made break in the Arctic Circle floats your boat then. No matter what your taste, believe us when we say there’s a whole world of weird and wonderful experiences to be had.  Just check out those lovely, environmentally conscious folk over at  www.responsibletravel.com to get a taste of what’s on offer – you might be surprised (we were).

Of course if you’re planning to stick to the slopes this season, with our Winter Sports travel insurance package you can enjoy yourself safe in the knowledge that you have full medical, emergency helicopter rescue and equipment cover. Pretty much everything but the kitchen sink then…..

For many of us, plans for the post-Christmas getaway are now fully underway. Tickets are booked, hotel sorted and naughty underwear ordered.  Yep – January is fast becoming one of the most popular months in the holiday industry as winter sun-seekers scramble to escape the drudgery of a cold, wet January and the post-Christmas blues.

At a time of the year when most of us are a little cash-strapped, the opportunity to save a little money is a welcome one. Which is, of course, where we come in. You may’ve found cheap flights and a great little budget hotel, but what about your airport parking? Or holiday insurance for that matter?

As with most things in life – the earlier, the better. During peak seasons many of the more popular official car pars at major airports get booked up early by those wanting to capitalise on cheap prices. Working in much the same way as flight pricing – the nearer your departure date, the higher the price is likely to be.

Whilst we here at gosimply will always go that little bit further by comparing the top car park providers and highlighting hidden costs to find you, the lovely customer, the best possible deal – it’s worth remembering that we can only search on available space and prices at any given time.

Oh, and don’t forget – gosimply offer some of the most flexible, value-for-money travel insurance available online. Just promise us you won’t need to use it!

East Midlands Airport has announced they will be temporarily closing their Long Stay Car Park 7 for necessary maintenance work.

This will affect customers who are due to arrive between the 1st of November 2009 and the 25th of March 2010, but no one will be left out in the cold if they’ve pre-booked.  All affected customers will be receiving an email advising of alternate arrangements, which may even include an upgrade to Long Stay Car Park 6!

If you haven’t booked your East Midlands airport parking yet, be sure to check out Prestige Meet and Greet parking.  This chauffeur service isn’t just for high-flying business people, either.  Feel like a VIP when your driver meets you at the terminal on both your departure and return.  What could be more convenient?

Last month saw the launch of our rather special Snow & Rock competition – giving one lucky person the chance to win £100 worth of vouchers to spend at – you guessed it – winter sports retailer Snow & Rock.

We were simply overwhelmed with entries prior to last week’s deadline, but of course there can be only one winner. So, without further ado, we’re pleased to announce the winner as Miss Roberts. An email notification has been sent, and the vouchers are winging their way to you as we speak.

Snow & Rock offers the winter sport enthusiasts a veritable treasure trove of leading brands, including Icebreaker, Salomon and The North Face. Whether you’re new to the slopes or a seasoned expert – there’s something for everyone.

For those of you who didn’t win – there’s no need to feel left out in the cold. You can still grab a cracking 10% discount on our Winter Sports Travel Insurance package just by booking online at gosimply.com. With flexible, tailor-made packages to suit all ages and activities, it’s easy to see why smart people gosimply this winter.
