**I have searched the forums but haven't managed to find any info on the flying club discount for long term parking at Gatwick**

If anybody has any info to share, I would really appreciate it, or if anybody uses a company not associated with Flying Club, I would like to know about them too, good or bad.

Hello and welcome....

I've used the Parking Express Long Stay Gatwick South for a few years. Good frequency of bus service and close to the terminal. Can be a bit of a pig to get away from due to the layout of the airport, as first you have to cross traffic coming in to the terminal and then join traffic leaving the terminal, but it's very easy to get to on the way in. I usually book simply though baa.com.

I know others on here have used some of the hotel deals that include parking.

I'm not convinced that FC discounts would amount to more than those available through some of the discount travel sites (the names of which escape me but I'm sure others will know).

Agree Paul - I've tried several discount sites for parking express, including calling one via work. They all charge the same and indeed, I was told (via work link) that they are not allowed to discount the site parking express charges. Came as no surprise to me really, I'm increasingly sceptical of 'discount' sites.

Holiday Extras are usually there or there abouts on price for airport parking, have used them on numerous occasions at various airports without problems.

I always use my 15% FC discount with BCP online.

You log into your online FC account and then click the link from the VS web site to BCP online. It's not the easiest thing to find as the link is on the 'Your Benefits' section of the Flying Club web pages. You have to link from the VS web site as it pulls though a discount code.

I think the 15% discount only applies to AU and AG members though.

Often works out chepaer than other sites.

Must admit that booking about 2 weeks in advance I have always found the prices on sites like holiday extras and the VS Discount price to be much the same. Anyway, here's some info for what it's worth.
