With leading airlines slowly stabilising after the economic downturn and budget carriers once again offering dirt cheap tickets, it is often those who drive to and from the airport who are hit the hardest.

In July, the MP for Glasgow North West, John Robertson, called for lower charges on airport parking and lamented the fact that in a modern community which offers £1 flights little is being done to with consideration to motorists. Mr Robertson’s hometown Glasgow Airport currently charges £1 for short stays under 20 minutes, with longer stays costing up to £7.20 for three hours. Meanwhile, at Edinburgh Airport, as of next month any motorist collecting or dropping off passengers will be charged £1.

Thankfully, a new website has been developed to help domestic and international travellers get the best rates at worldwide airport parking stations. Worldparking.co.uk is dedicated to finding the best airport parking prices from leading providers within Britain and in the United States and Canada. By teaming up with the most established parking providers the UK-based site is able to deliver the best cheap airport parking deals to your next destination on either side of the Atlantic or across the UK.

Choose from great offers at Birmingham, Belfast, East Midlands, Edinburgh, Glasgow, Liverpool and Manchester among others in the UK, with Gatwick, Stansted and Heathrow all on sale in the capital. World parking also offers great deals at all of the leading US airports, including Atlanta Hartsfield International, Boston Logan International, Chicago Midway, Chicago O’Hare International, Dallas International, Los Angeles International, Miami International, New York La Guardia International and JFK, Seattle Tacoma International, Washington Dulles International. For travellers heading to Canada, parking reservations can be made at Montreal Dorval International, Toronto Lester B Pearson International and Vancouver International.

However, the popularity of online searches has been curtailed somewhat in recent times, as the ongoing economic downturn and business closures, coupled with natural events such as the Iceland ash cloud and earthquakes have seen customers searching for greater protection from physical and financial disasters.

While more than a dozen British travel agents have folded in 2010, their absence is beginning to be felt by travellers, who are becoming increasingly less protected when they choose to do it alone. The attractions of holiday protection, nominally under either of the two regulatory bodies in Britain – ATOL (Air Travel Organiser’s Licence) and ABTA (Association of British Travel Agents), can ultimately end up being a sound investment. The minimal per centage placed on top of ticketing being a small price to pay for peace of mind when abroad.

For anyone who is debating the pros and cons of individual versus agency booking, a new website has been developed to provide an insight into the industry, its regulations, and its goals. Travel-agency.co.uk introduces the services offered by one of the world’s leading institutions, with an emphasis on travel agents UK.

Use a travel agency whenever you want to organise flights, book car rentals, find hotel rooms, enjoy concerts and much more. When on holiday, the last thing you want to have to worry about is your airport transfer, so head online and find out why a travel agent can make all the difference to your next trip.

Marco Melandri is the latest MotoGP racer to defect, after confirmation was made that he has signed with Yamaha for 2011.

Melandri will rejoin the team that he debuted with in MotoGP in 2003, and sees the Italian join Carlos Checa, Sylvain Guintoli and Max Biaggi turn to the super bike arena after careers on the grand prix.

Since the effects of the global economic crisis sent the pound tumbling against the euro around 18 months ago, devastating the travel and tourism industry, many traditional destinations for UK holidaymakers have been priced out of reach.

However, in a boost for those planning a summer getaway, the pound has rebounded to reach a new 19-month high against the European currency. The single currency has fallen by a significant 11 per cent against the sterling in the past 12 months, with the good news released just after the disastrous World Cup campaign sent England’s would-be hero’s home shamefully early.

Sterling’s upsurge in value to reach 1.24 euros represents the highest rate of exchange since way back November 2008, and means that the average British family could now be saving up to £700 on summer holiday around the Mediterranean compared to this time last year. Additionally, the struggling euro-zone economies on the mainland mean Britons based on the Continent can take advantage of lower prices on everyday household products, particularly good news for expats and retirees living in Spain, France and Portugal.

Croatia, Bulgaria and the troubled economy of Greece all are looming as bargain holiday destinations, while Eastern European countries will also offer excellent value for money. Travel specialist Thomas Cook claims that related travel expenses such as ground transport, drinks, meals, cigarettes, newspapers and snacks will all be markedly cheaper than a year ago, while online booking specialist lastminute.com has reported a massive rush for holiday bookings following the World Cup early exit.
