Drop-offs and Pick-ups
If you're one of those nice people that doesn't mind driving your friends and family members to the airport, you can drop them off directly outside the terminal building. Pick ups will need to follow signs for the "Short Stay (Under 24 hrs) car park" due to regulations forbidding unattended or waiting vehicles outside the terminal building. A fast track lane is available in this car park, where drivers can wait up to 20 minutes at no charge. If the 20 minutes are exceeded, there are "last chance to pay" bays near the pay machine at the exit barrier. Please do not pick up or drop off passengers on approach roads, as this may create traffic problems.
