How to easily avoid airport chaos this summer

With the airport chaos going on this summer, the mayhem shows absolutely no sign of slowing down. Due to staff shortages, strike action, overbooked flights and COVID-19 still causing disruptions, Heathrow Airport have warned this could continue until 2026.

The Irish Times described the summer of 2022 as “A summer of discontent for air travellers”, which begs the question of what can holidaymakers do to avoid this? Well at Bunk Campers, we think we might just have the answer…

Travel on 4 wheels, not 2 wings

Remove any chance of cancelled flights, lost luggage, and hours of queuing only to find out your flight has been cancelled anyway with motorhome hire. Choose where you’re going, explore wherever you want, whenever you want, and at your own pace in your very own home on wheels.

If you have never been on a campervan holiday before, you’ll be in for a treat. A road trip with family or friends is a sure-fire way to make memories for a lifetime. Eating, sleeping, cooking, and driving together offers a unique holiday experience like no other. We love it and we know you will too.

Something for everyone

Here at Bunk Campers, we can assure you we will have the perfect campervan or motorhome for you. Live the VW (Volkswagen) campervan dream, with a modern twist!  Practical and stylish 4-berth camper with the iconic pop-top roof. A modern VW Campervan, but the same classic road trip!

If you want to travel with a full range of amenities and sleeping facilities, our 4-6 berth Grande is the motorhome for you. With plenty of space and comfort in this vehicle, enjoy a fully fitted kitchen, generous dining area, and a bathroom equipped with a toilet sink and shower.

Reduce your carbon footprint

Leave behind less pollution on our planet with motorhome hire. A 500-mile road trip will cover plenty of destinations and creates wonderful memories. This creates just 20% of the carbon compared to a one-way flight from London to Tenerife! (Calculated using carbon-clear.com and resurgence.org). Or just 10% of the carbon footprint compared to return flights!

Enjoy your own space

With campervan hire, it really is your own home from home. This means you can ditch all the downsides that go hand in hand with air travel. This means no seat-sharing, in seats that are too small and uncomfortable, besides people you don’t know.

Additionally, you have plenty more space for all of your luggage in a campervan compared to a flight. This means you can bring board games, bikes, surfboards, pillows – anything and everything!

Support local businesses

Tourism is the lifeblood of keeping many local businesses afloat, especially in the summer months.  Any business is good business for local business! Regardless of if this is simply one pint after a long afternoon walk, or your initial “Big shop” as you hit the open road, this all helps small businesses along the way.

At Bunk Campers, we would really encourage all our guests to shop local whenever possible on your campervan hire holiday!
