Dodge airport rip-offs and save your spending money for cocktails with these tips . . .
DRIVE DOWN THE COST: Getting to the airport can take a chunk out of your holiday budget. If you are driving, make sure you check out to check out the deals from various car park companies.
Also, did you know you can turn £5 in Tesco Clubcard vouchers into £10 towards APH parking vouchers? Head to to check availability and prices.
If you are thinking of travelling by train, book in advance to save money and make the most of cashback and loyalty points.
THIRSTY WORK: Every UK airport now has free water refill stations, so there's no need to splash out on pricey bottles airside. Bring an empty water bottle through security and refill once you are in the departure lounge.
Many coffee shops including Costa and Pret offer discounts when you bring a reusable cup, too.
SNACK ATTACK: Solid foods such as sandwiches and snacks from home can be taken through security, so you can avoid expensive airport meals.
For longer waits and large groups, airport lounges with food and drink included can work out cheaper.
Currently you can get a £5 voucher for 50 per cent off Priority Pass lounge membership — to use nationwide – when you shop via But arrive early to take full advantage of the buffet!
Also, check with your bank to see if you have any discount or access to airport lounges, as some premium accounts include this.

BEAUTY BARGAINS: The Boots Click+Collect service lets you order toiletries online and pick them up airside.
So you can take advantage of online offers such as half-price Garnier Ambre Solaire suncream.
A top tip is to save up your Boots Advantage Points and use them for those extra holiday essentials, so you can keep your cash for holiday fun.
