Travelrobe's spokesperson Mark Felix, said in a statement, that the report was an in house project and that data was collected from various online resources including Google.

He also went on the say that cost might be a key factor in the lower Heathrow Airport Parking bookings compared to Manchester, Gatwick, Stansted and Luton.

There are many reasons why travellers might overlook booking parking at Heathrow and public transportation for Londoners might be the number one reason.

Access to Heathrow Airport from London has many advantages, Cheap, Quick and more, the Piccadilly line is the main route via the underground to the airport, then there is the express train from Paddington Station fastest, most frequent way to travel to Heathrow Airport, the train departs every 15 minutes.

For those living in and around the Croydon area, there is the X26 from Croydon to Heathrow every 30 minutes and while the journey is long, roughly 1.5 hours the cost is the same as a normal bus fare.

Now driving to Heathrow can be a nightmare from London and sometimes even worst returning, the M4 is a notorious motorway for congestion and to make matters worst depending on where you are on the motorway there is no getting off and taking alternate routes.

A local taxi fare to Heathrow will cost you roughly £30.00 to £40.00 depending on your location and a normal taxi can cost you an arm and a leg based on traffic to the airport.

So comparing parking at the airport, one would have weigh the benefits, parking at Heathrow with a one stay at a hotel for two weeks could cost from £50.00 and that my friend is a bargain.

Heathrow airport is the world's busiest airport and the parking facilities are designed to suit this.
