    The last few times I have flown out of Luton I have parked at Luton Parkway and either walked or used the shuttle bus to the terminal as its cheaper than the on airport parking.

    What is the Luton Parkway? is it a car park?

    Its the railway station close to the airport with a large onsite car park that is cheaper than the on airport car parks.

    Are there any new discount codes out there for parking.
    Quidco will save me about £4, but just wondered if I have missed any.
    Thank-you.

    Had to park at Heathrow last week and decided to give https://www.parkatmyhouse.com a go. Found one that sounded good. Here is his profile His name is Sunny, meet and greet at the terminal, 9 days parking £45.00 Was a bit worried after hearing some horror stories about meet and greet so I wrote down the milage, it was spot on when he returned the car to me at LHR, he even washed it!! He has air side clearance and wears his ID when he meets you. Using him again later this month. If you use him tell him Andy and Tracy with the Chrysler sent you.

    He won't have airside clearance. I think you mean landside. Good price for LHR.

    Interested to know how he has "9-11 spaces" - certainly doesn't look like that in the photo! He says he's an LHR employee, so he could have airside clearance but that isn't relevant to the parking pick up.

    Looks like the cars are parked in the street. He must have very accommodating neighbours to have 9-11 cars parked outside all the time plus their own vehicles.

    That's what I thought too. I'm surprised that he hasn't been stamped on by the licensing authority tbh - I know that BAA report any unlicensed operators they come across for one thing. (Let's hope he doesn't work for BAA as well lol).

    I think he works with relatives in the area. There are other operators within 2 streets of him offering the same deal. Maybe they pool the number of spaces they have. Anyway, 60 very positive feed backs is good enough for me. I am sure he said air-side clearance in his advert, but could be wrong. I think the mention of the air-side clearance is to show he is above board and had all the relevant checks done on him.
    As I thought, I spoke to him and he and his father own 3 houses on that street, including 3 garages. And yes he has air side clearance, he works in the IT department of the airport.
