Family car parking is available at Cardiff Airport. The most convenient is
valet meet and greet airport parking. Families can drive direct to the airport terminal where a rep will be waiting to take their car away to the car park. There is no need for transfer buses and avoids getting wet and cold in the Winter months. On your return journey your car is returned by the rep on your arrival back to Cardiff Airport.
Pre-book your valet meet and greet airport parking in advance with www.HelpMeTravel.co.uk who secure the best rates possible. Other car parking options available to book through HelpMeTravel also. |

Tips When Flying With Babies & Children ... |
|
|
|
|
|
|
Here are some helpful tips and advice when flying with babies or toddlers: : |
|
Ask the hostess to save your meal if you're feeding your child
Change your baby's nappy just before you board the plane in case the seat belt signs remain on for a while
Offer your baby a bottle of milk or water to drink during take off and landing so the constant sucking helps relieve pressure and pain in the ears
If flying with twins by yourself, check with your airline, as normally it's only one infant allowed under 6 months per adult passenger
Do note that there's no luggage allowance for children
