Followed a couple of links on the article and found parking for 45 quid for 2 weeks. However, did a search on superbreak.com and they are saying I can get a night's accommodation and 15 days parking for 45 quid. Seems too good to be true so I wanted to check if anyone else has used them? They are saying it's a Supersaver 3* Unnamed Hotel & 15 days parking (Glasgow Airport)

Default Overnight hotel stay

Hi there,

Just to add that the Normandy or Erskine Bridge hotels (both just a mile or two from Glasgow airport) do a package whereby you probably pay about the same for dinner, bed, breakfast and parking as you do for parking. Think the hotels are a little tired, but my in-laws raved about the deal.

Cheers,
Dianne.

Stayed at the Normandy hotel at Erskine before an 8am flight, £50 for a double room including 15 days parking (no breakfast). Booked through www.parking4less.co.uk. Room was ok, can't complain, shuttle bus runs quater to the hour, they give you a tel no for pick up. Staying again in a few weeks before summer hols (7 am flight)



Every day above ground is a good day.

Default Was this Glasgow Airport or Glasgow Prestwick airport?

Car parking with SPI at Prestwick produced the same results , they were also the cheapest.

Web page is www.spiparking.com and is easy to use.

Thumbs up great parking

http://www.parkprestwick.co.uk/
I used thiscar park this week, parked for 5 days for £9 car park so easy to find, great security, they take your photo and hold onto your keys, easy to find, can not fault it, oh and went to tip the driver for taking my bag over to the car for me and he did not want it! You have to go to them direct you don't find them on the other comparison sites

I travel from Prestwick a few times a year and always find it cheaper to use the airport's car parks. You find them via the airport website.
