Faro Airport
Just a quick one, is there no free parking anymore when you are picking someone up. Used to be a short time allowance in park 2 but couldn't see it the other day when I passed through.

There is a drop-off area in front of Departures for which you have to get a ticket as you enter it and it allows 10 minutes of free parking. If you overstay you have to pay..

Re: Faro Airport
I used car park 2 as usual the other day for picking up the wife. I was there for less than 5 minutes but had to pay €0.80 to get out. It seems they have now withdrawn the free 10 minutes despite what it says on the website.

Re: Faro Airport
Yes, same arrangement at arrivals as departures. You collect at ticket as you go in, if you are less than 10 minutes it's free, if you take longer you have to pay a modest fee. Unless they've changed it in the last few weeks.

Flew out of there Saturday and noticed the ten minute free zone at departures.
