It is ten o’clock at night and the kids just fell asleep. In just 5 more hours you must get the kids up, get them dressed, stuff them in the car and drive to the airport. You have about 2 more hours of packing before you can take a short nap before heading out. You already know the flight from St. Louis to Los Angeles to visit family is going to be a disaster. The kids will be grumpy, you will be sleepy, and every one’s nerves will be short.

Turning the Sleepy Head Grumps into Flight Time Smiles

Imagine a different way to travel. It is 8PM and the kids are exhausted and sleeping. They played in the swimming pool for about an hour after supper and were ready for a great night of sleep. Your bags are already packed, sitting in the corner ready for the airport. Instead of needing to get up at 3AM you can sleep in until almost 6AM and still have time to grab some donuts, fruit, or other food before heading out.

The difference in these two travel mornings is where you choose to sleep. When you stay at home you have extra morning travel time to the airport. You put off getting the bags ready. Your kids pretend it is just another night and do not get to sleep. When you choose to start your trip the night before at an airport hotel the difference is shocking plus saves you money.

Staying Overnight at the Airport Hotel Saves You Money?

Yes, you save money while starting your trip on a better foot. The difference is in your airport parking bill. When you choose one of the sleep, park, and fly packages from the La Quinta Inn St. Louis Airport you can stay overnight, have a free breakfast, use the airport shuttle, and leave your car parked for 30 days for well under $100. You cannot park your car at the airport for two weeks for that small price.
Now ask yourself a serious question. Do you want to save money and have angels on the airplane? Or do you still prefer to have little monsters and a morning rush to the airport? The decision is up to you.
