The Christmas season is synonymous with joy, family, and—unfortunately—some of the busiest travel days of the year. When you’re juggling children, carry-on bags, and a boot full of carefully wrapped presents, the last thing you need is the stress of navigating winter roads and airport car parks.
This year, give your family the gift of a truly relaxing start to their holiday with a luxurious executive chauffeur service. At Premier Executive Chauffeur Services, we specialise in transforming the journey into part of the Christmas break itself.
Here are five essential tips for ensuring your festive family airport transfers are as smooth and stress-free as possible when travelling with a professional chauffeur.
1. Book the Right Sleigh (Vehicle) for Your Whole Crew
The magic of Christmas often means travelling with a larger group and more luggage than usual. Don’t assume a standard executive car will suffice.
Our Tip: Always inform your chauffeur service of your exact party size, including any children who require car seats, and the quantity of luggage—remembering that festive trips often involve extra coats, boots, and presents! At Premier Executive Chauffeur Services, we maintain a fleet that includes luxurious people carriers (our 7-seater and 6-seater Mercedes vehicles), ensuring every member of your family, and every last stocking-stuffer, travels in spacious comfort and style.
2. Designate a “Gift Handler” and Use Luggage Assistance
One of the greatest benefits of a professional chauffeur is the hands-on assistance with loading and unloading. This is doubly true at Christmas when your bags might include fragile presents or boxes of treats.
Our Tip: Before your journey, designate one adult to be the “Gift Handler.” This person should keep track of any particularly precious or oddly-shaped items that need special care. When your immaculately dressed chauffeur arrives, they will handle the heavy lifting of standard suitcases, allowing your Gift Handler to oversee the safe storage of presents inside the cabin or boot. This meticulous attention to detail is a hallmark of our service.
3. Give the Gift of Punctuality (and Flexibility)
Punctuality is always paramount, but during the unpredictable Christmas travel period—with potential winter weather and increased traffic around Yorkshire and Lincolnshire—it is non-negotiable.
Our Tip: Trust your chauffeur service to manage the timing. We draw on our extensive experience and real-time traffic monitoring to plan the optimal route, guaranteeing a timely and relaxed arrival at the airport. However, because we know the festive season can involve last-minute changes, ensure your chauffeur has your flight number and clear contact details. A top-tier service, like ours, will track your flight and adjust to any unforeseen delays or early arrivals, giving you one less thing to worry about.
4. Prioritise Comfort and Entertainment for the Journey
For families, the journey itself can be a pressure cooker, especially with excited or restless children. A chauffeur transfer provides an opportunity to unwind before the holiday action begins.
Our Tip: Take full advantage of the luxurious executive vehicle’s amenities. Our immaculate Mercedes fleet offers a tranquil environment that is a world away from the noise and distraction of a taxi or public transport. Pack tablets, books, or small, quiet travel games to keep younger passengers entertained. The ability to relax in comfort, knowing a trusted professional is handling the driving, is a luxury that sets the perfect tone for your Christmas break.
5. Confirm Your Festive Requirements in Advance
Whether it’s a specific pick-up time, multiple stops to collect family members, or a requirement for a specific type of child seat, communicating your needs in advance ensures flawless execution.
Our Tip: When you book your festive family airport transfer with Premier Executive Chauffeur Services, clearly outline all special requests. Need to be collected at a late hour from a celebration? Departing from Hull and flying out of Heathrow? Our professional, dependable chauffeurs are dedicated to providing a bespoke experience, ensuring every element of your journey—from the pristine cleanliness of the car to the courteous demeanour of the driver—is handled with the utmost care.
