Mr Bernard 12 February, 2010

        Although we arrived at 0515 in -5 degrees and darkness, check in was easy and we were soon in the terminal. On the return we arrived back at the same time as a delayed flight, so we did have a 15 minute wait while they got everyone back in the 2 minibuses.

Mrs BARRY 03 January, 2010

        We decided to use the Highwayman as the description said it was close to the airport. When I passed the airport I saw one sign of the main road and no other signs at all. I had to ring the highwayman for directions and because the parking was difficult to find we were too late at check in to sit together. I will not be using this facility again as it is to far from the airport, up difficult country roads with no signposting at all.

        Worth mentioning the Highway Inn. We didn't use it but probably would have if we had known about it.

Mr Richardson 05 November, 2009

        Parked recently at Cardiff Airport. Great service; friendly staff and what was very surprising which does not always happen at other airports - the bus was waiting when we came out of the terminal - as promised!! Very Good Service. If any negative comment. The signs to the parking could be a little better and not everyone has a sat nav....................otherwise, great service and will certainly use again! Well Done!

Mrs TROLLEY 29 October, 2009

        You could mention that you have a signpost,on the B4265 St Athens Road, showing when to turn down the lane. I found this helpful as I came in from the Bridgend area (via Google map)

Mr Davies 29 October, 2009

        Dopped off by car which had everything switched on fully to clear misting. No one waited to see if everything was alright but cleared off without checking. Car left parked in gear up against a fence which could well have caused a possible accident. If any problems had arisen you were left to your own devices.

Mr White 28 October, 2009

        Only mishap as far as we were concerned the driver who took us told us that we would be picked up outside the Arrivels lounge, where we waited on our return only to see the minibus pass us and waited in the small car park were we were dropped. Luckily it was not raining.
