For people living in the South West of England, Exeter Airport is providing a constantly increasing service to a number of European destinations.

A cursory glance through the airport timetable reveals that flights from Flybe, the popular budget airline, from Exeter include such varied destinations as Alicante, Edinburgh, Geneva, Guernsey, Manchester, Murcia and Paris, to name but a few.

Such moves can only be good for those that are looking to use Exeter as a base for their travels, with a particularly lengthy list of flights to Spanish and Greek island resorts during the summer months.

Airlines flying these routes are often associated with package holiday companies. The likes of Portland, Skytours and Thomson Holidays are all among the existing providers of flights from Exeter airport.

If you want to park your car at the airport while you're on holiday, then there are both short and long term secure parking options available, both of which can be pre-booked online. You may well find that there are cheaper deals available than those offered on the official Exeter Airport parking options screens, although beware that you don't find yourself with a lengthy bus journey to the actual terminal. It's always worth checking on a map to ensure that your airport parking at Exeter is actually close to the airport.
