Millions of Brits are preparing to head abroad this summer, but many families are being hit with a major holiday cost before they have even reached the terminal.
With the average park and ride at major UK airports setting travellers back around £202.95 for a two-week holiday, airport parking has become another expensive item on the holiday bill, on top of flights, luggage fees and transfers.*
But eligible frontline workers could cut more than £70 from their airport parking bill this summer, thanks to savings available through Blue Light Card.
Blue Light Card – the UK’s dedicated rewards service for those working in and retired from frontline roles – is offering savings across leading airport parking providers including Purple Parking, Holiday Extras and APH, slashing one of the most overlooked costs of going on holiday.
The deals include:
Holiday Extras

Cardholders can also enjoy 15% off airport hotels from 13th July to 9th September, and up to 15% off airport lounges from 29th June, giving members more ways to tailor and upgrade their journey.

Katherine Townsley, Senior Travel Partnerships Manager at Blue Light Card said:
“Many people focus on finding cheaper flights, but costs such as airport parking, hotels and lounges can quickly add up and significantly increase the overall price of a holiday.
“Through partnerships with nationwide brands including Holiday Extras, Purple Parking and APH, Blue Light Card members can unlock valuable savings before they’ve even boarded their flight.
“Whether you’re planning a family holiday, a city break or visiting loved ones abroad, these discounts are designed to help our members make their money go further while enjoying a well-earned break.”
Blue Light Card is available to those working in and retired from a wide range of frontline professions, including the NHS, emergency services, social care, education and the armed forces.
Members can access thousands of discounts from national retailers, travel providers and hospitality brands through the Blue Light Card app and website.
