Title: Cardiff airportcar park.
Post by: alfie on 09 May 2011, 19:38:44

Just tried to book into Cardiff airport onsite car park,in advance to get the usual discount,only to find out that they no longer give discounts for booking in advance/online.
Last year paid about £44 for a weeks parking ,this year they want £66.WHAT A RIP OFF.
Think I'll be paking offsite.

Bournemouth airport now charge you £2.50 just to drop off passengers, even Taxis. To make matters worse they have stopped pedestrian access.
It used to be a nice friendly airport, not now.

My missus just paid £34 for a week in Birmingham airport parking which is in a months time.
And her parents booked for a week in cardiff one a bit later for £40 odd.....

Personally, I think getting the train to Rhoose is fairly easy and cheap.....

The train would be  a ideal answer,but my flights at 0615 which means a check in time 2hrs before,therefore no bus shuttle at that time or train for that matter.
Looks as if a taxi is the best bet,works out £30 quid each way cheaper than the car park,theres going to be 2 cars,hence Cardiff airport will lose over £170 by not discounting advance booking.

And Stansted have done the same, cost me £2.00 for 15mins in a new drop off car park...
