“With airport parking there is usually a trade off between price and convenience. The cheaper the price, the further the car park is from the terminal. The nearer it is to the terminal, the higher the price.
The Which? study suggests comparing the cost of on airport parking with the cost of off airport parking. Off airport parking usually costs less, but the transfer time can be longer. Meet and Greet parking is very convenient that includes only a short walk to the terminal,” added the spokesperson.
