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..

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 It seems they have now withdrawn the free 10 minutes despite what it says on the website.

Thanks Bill, that was the impression I got.

Was there Monday, lots of guys with clipboards in yellow vests measuring & pacing out spaces... New rule/s on the way?

Disorganistation needing organisation leading to more disorganisation and confusion ?

Yes at the drop off point at departures ..Think your allowed 10 mins... Other wise you have to park and pay

Can you collect someone at the drop off point or is it as it suggests drop off only?

...Would like to think they haven't quite reached UK levels of Sign-Obedience yet, but see my earlier post, there were guys measuring & pacing things out around the area on Monday.

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.
