10 Things to consider before you book a holiday

When planning a holiday, there are many things you need to consider. Here are 10 questions to ask yourself along the way.

1. What type of resort are you looking for? Depending on whether you're a young couple, elderly couple, family, young adult friends or a solo traveller, your resort requirements may differ drastically. Do your research so you know what to expect.

2. What type of accommodation do you want? As well as choosing a hotel that's appropriate for who you are and the type of experience you want, you also have choices about board basis and style of room.

3. When do you want to travel? Choosing your dates is never easy, as you may have allocated annual leave from work or need to get it signed off by a manager. You also may want to consider booking something within or outside of the school holidays.

4. How are you getting to the airport? You may need to ask for a lift from a relative or book a cab. Alternatively, you may prefer to make use of airport parking. Robin Hood airport parking, for instance, allows you to leave your car at the Doncaster Sheffield airport for the duration of your holiday.

5. Will you need an airport hotel? If your outbound flights are very early in the morning or your return flights land in the middle of the night, you may see the benefits of booking a stay in an airport hotel.

6. Do you need transfers or a hire car when you land? When you land in a foreign country, you'll need to find a way of getting to your accommodation. While public transport is an option, hire cars and transfers are the most popular choices.

7. Do you have travel insurance sorted? If you didn't book insurance with your holiday package and you're not getting it free as part of your bank account, you will need to find a separate company to buy it from.

8. Is your suitcase up to the journey? Every now and then it's a good idea to invest in a new suitcase to make sure your items are safe and secure through their travels.

9. How much currency will you need? You need to decide before you travel how much spending money you'll need to take and then find the best rate to exchange the currency.

10. Will you need new clothes? From new shorts to a spare bikini, buying new clothes is part of the holiday experience.

If you do require Robin Hood airport parking, you can relax knowing you won't be relying on anyone else to get to the airport.
