NewswireToday - /newswire/ - London, United Kingdom, 05/01/2008 - The disenchanted opening of Heathrow's new Terminal still has customers furious over flight cancellations, luggage chaos and the long queues that were endured for several weeks.

After years of planning and over £4.3bn spent, BAA and British Airways had a terrible start to what could have been a fanfare opening of Heathrow's Terminal Five and the spiraling challenges faced by the airport also included the new parking facilities which were in part due to staffing issues, but it appears that airport parking at Heathrow is now functioning as expected.

A Recent article from both carrental.co.uk and eBookers.com stated that “British Airways Holidays is offering passengers up to 60 percent savings on airport parking in the United Kingdom” it is a step in the right direction says Travelrobe towards customers using airport parking facilities throughout the UK and other parking operators might benefit by offering similar savings to their customers at Heathrow.

Heathrow’s on and off airport parking facilities has consistently served customers traveling on business or pleasure from the airport and with the current Heathrow airport situation customers are urged by Travelrobe to continue using the facilities because of the convenience they offer.

Parking at Heathrow is now safer due to the 2007 BBC sting highlighting concerns with a few companies operating below standard. This revelation forced the airport parking industry to make radical changes in their operation towards the protection of customer vehicles left in their care especially at Heathrow.

Customers who are still unsure about Heathrow airport parking facilities are urged by Travelrobe to book their airport parking with companies participating in the Safer Parking Scheme, an initiative of the Association of Chief Police Officers aimed at reducing crime and the fear of crime in parking facilities.

These requirements mean the parking operator has put in place measures that help to deter criminal activity and anti-social behavior, thereby doing everything they can to prevent crime and reduce the fear of crime in their parking facility.
