We decided the night before to take the car and leave it at the airport for our early morning flight. This was mainly due to on-line discount we found as it worked out cheaper than a taxi both ways. Getting to the car park was easy as there are plenty of clear signs. Luckily we managed to find a space straight away and close to the roads. But the car parks are a nightmare to navigate from previous experience. As it was raining we went over the road and into a bus shelter whilst waiting for the bus. There were many people there already and another 15 turned up also so many getting soaked. No bus arrived and we waited a good 15 minutes before someone picked up a handset in the shelter and rang to find out where the bus was. This was disappointing as all our cases were soaked through and the frequent buses that were promised did not happen. It shouldn't be up to passengers to chase a bus. Surely the Airport has CCTV or a system to know when to pick people up. On the way back the flight was delayed and as I had not bought a flexible parking ticket. I literally had 20 minutes to get through passport control and to sprint down to the car to get it moved before the 12 midnight deadline as didn't want locked in so never used the return bus. But after the wait on our departure for a bus thought it would be easier to find my own way there as would be quicker. Overall, an average experience. Cheap, safe, secure, transport to airport (eventually) Airport just need to ensure passengers aren't left waiting for lifts.
