Last week we took a fabulous sailing trip to Croatia and was lucky enough to be able to fly from Leeds Bradford Airport. It’s a small airport and everyone is so friendly. We arrived very early in the morning and booked into the Premium Short Stay car park.
Parking is easy to book online and you receive instructions as to where the car park is via email. The link to Google Maps is included and I used this to navigate to the entrance to the car park. You are also provided with a ‘What Three Words’ reference.
Regardless though, the Premium Stay Car Park was well signposted and very easy to find and just a short walk to the terminal entrance.
The car park works with an ANPR system so I didn’t need to provide any paperwork. I just drove up to the barrier. It recognised my car registration and opened for me. From there I easily found a parking space.
A little tip from me – if you drive up the ramp towards the exit you will find more spaces, but also, you wont then need to pull your cases up the ramp and you also end up slightly closer to the terminal (though you will be very close regardless!).
The premium short stay car park has wider (2.7m) parking bays which is perfect if you have a wider car. Not to mention the fact that I am rubbish at parking!
When we returned from our trip, it was very easy to walk over to the car, drive to the barrier which automatically opened. From there I was in bed in less than an hour and a half – perfect!
I have used the Premium Parking at night in the past and it was very well lit as you can see. It felt very easy and very safe.
