The airport has greatly increased the space for long term parking, but it's not well managed. When we arrived areas were 'closed' that had lots of spaces (hundreds I'd say) but we were directed to an area that had about 2 spaces left. I got one and a person in front got another, but they took ages to find. Absolutely ridiculous. Why do they feel the need to put 'closed' signs up for areas that are virtually empty while precious time is taken finding one or two scarce spaces in the places that are open. It's not as if there was any attendants around redirecting as there were another six or seven cars behind us fruitlessly searching for spaces. As for the shuttle bus? Worse than a service bus route, and yet it's not a Heathrow-sized airport, so shouldn't be so bad. We stood about 20 minutes. We only waited because we thought it wouldn't be long. I could have walked it in 10! You've no idea if it's actually coming and when it does it's a small bus. Not fit for purpose. On our return, it was chilly and we waited about 10 minutes and gave up and walked. It really isn't rocket science to work out that buses are needed when planes land. It's almost like it takes management by surprise that a plane has landed. As we walked to our car, I spotted two of the three buses parked up in darkness. It really needs sorting out because having one bus on isn't good enough when a plane with 200+ passengers lands.
