    You're going to be looking at the Long Stay car park then. The current code is TR18 for booking in July; it will be TR19 for August I guess. We did the long stay when we went on holiday in May and only had a 5 minute walk to the terminal (although there is also a bus that goes around the site). You can book the Premier car park for that length of time (think its directly below the airport terminal), but the cost is a lot more.

    thanks

    i've used one of the main car parks before. remember it was walkeable, but caught a bus going past.

    i would prefer this as with a little one, i might drop wife, luggage and little one off and then park up and meet them up, rather than struggle with everything early in the morning

    i'll rather not hand in my keys as i'll rather have the close proxmity and flexibilty on timing etc.

    is it worth £10 extra for premier vs long stay?

    p1tse - my OH says probably worth the extra (he uses the Premier when going abroad for business). We looked at it for when we went on holiday in May, but you can't use it for 2 weeks!
    a) Premier is closer to the terminal - straight downhill from the terminal
    b) you park on concrete as opposed to gravel
    c) the places are marked out better
    I think we were lucky with where we managed to park (the row below the main road into the airport) - I think the long stay car park is very big and you may end up some distance away

    darn should have booked earlier, as just checked prices for when i require with the above discount code, tr19
    no premier option and now cost £55 for long stay which i could have got premium ;-(

    will the prices just get more closer to the date and any other discount codes which might offer more % discount or premium option?

    Have you compared the prices with Goblin Coomb farm parking? Used them twice now and very conveniant
    Aim to win in 2013 - a holiday somewhere nice, New York break, treats for family & friends & some cash would be lovely!!!

    Try ringing them up - they were very helpful when I had a query. Sometimes when I book for my OH (Premier), it isn't available. Yet he does manage to park there (although it is obviously more expensive, but that's what expenses are for, aren't they?)
