Strikes, delays, cancellations, missed flights…or simply that it is necessary to arrive at an airport for a commercial flight well in advance to check in and deal with security. Whatever the reason, holiday makers and business travelers spend long periods at the airport before flying. But there are useful things which can be done during this time...and one can save money too.

Airport Lounges

Booking into an executive airport lounge might sound like an extravagance rather than a way of saving money. However, airport lounges offer complementary food, drinks, newspapers, and Wi-Fi. For the traveler who was going to buy these anyway – and that could include most people on a long wait – an airport lounge might well prove cheaper, and it is certainly more comfortable.

It is also possible to save money on an airport lounge by booking it online before traveling. When doing this, it is sensible to book airport parking at the same time, as this is also cheaper if arranged in advance. It should be noted that some current accounts and credit cards offer free access to airport lounges, so travelers should check if theirs is one which does this. Occasionally airlines offer special offers on airport lounges, such as buy-one-get-one-free for two people traveling together. So it is worth checking this out as well if travelling with a companion.

Foreign Currency at the Airport

It is NOT a good idea to leave buying foreign currency until the last minute, as rates of exchange at the airport are generally not good. However, travelers can order foreign currency online, which is one of the cheapest methods with the best rates of exchange, and then pick it up at the airport. After all, travelers will have time to do this, so this is a way of saving both money and time.
