The only thing that's long about this award-winning car park is the amount of time you can stay there, because it's certainly nothing to do with the time that it'll take you to get to the terminal. A short, brisk walk will see you at the airline check-in desks in two to three minutes, and you won't need to give your car another thought until you get back: CCTV, fencing, floodlighting, barriers and regular staff patrols are in place to keep it safe. And its security has even won a police-accredited award. What more do you need to know? Security measures The car park holds the Park Mark award and has CCTV, barriers, fencing and floodlighting, and staff patrol the car park regularly around the clock.
The car park has a vehicle registration recognition service, so just drive up to the barrier and it'll open. If you have an issue, press the help/call button. Then find a space and stroll to check-in. Transfers Transfers are not needed because the car park is within walking distance of the terminal.
