Arrival procedure
Please check your booking confirmation for details.
On arrival at the car park, please drive up to the entry barrier and wait for the machine to read your number plate. This can take up to a minute. The barrier will then open so you can drive in and park.
If nothing happens after a minute, please press the button marked "assistance" so you can speak to a member of staff through the intercom. They'll ask you to confirm your details.
Please don't insert your credit or debit card into the barrier at any point or you will be charged again for your parking. Also, don't press the ticket button, as this will stop you being able to gain entry.
Once you've parked, just walk to the terminal, following the signs. It will take about 5-7 minutes.
Return procedure
Please check your booking confirmation for details.
On your return, please walk back to the car park, collect your car and drive to the exit barrier. It will lift to let you out (this can take up to a minute) but if it doesn't, please press the button marked "assistance" and a member of staff will let you out.
Please don't insert your credit or debit card into the barrier at any point or you will be charged again for your parking.

Easy, convenient, the price is good in comparison to the distance and other car parks that are further away. For a few pounds more you might as well use Long stay car park one which is walking distance to the airport.
