Frequently Asked Questions
What happens if I’m going to overstay and pick up my car late?
We know that sometimes our customers arrive back a little later than intended so we allow a short grace period free of charge. If you need longer, the car park barrier on exit will calculate the overstay price for you, so you can simply make payment on your way out.
How long can I stay in the airport lounges?
Customers may enter the lounges up to 3 hours before your scheduled flight time. You can remain in the lounge for 2.5 hours, you are required to vacate the lounge 30 minutes before your scheduled departure time, or when your flight is announced as boarding. If you wish to remain in the lounge after this period, please speak to the lounge hosts. They may be able to accommodate you, subject to availability and a small charge.
