Typically of most airports in this country, this one seems to set out to fleece the driver at every turn. Short term parking charges are a disgrace and seem clearly designed to discourage as oppose to aid airport access. The so called disabled parking is farcical, with the nearest parking area reserved for what appears to be, based on the type of cars parked there, the most privileged travellers. All ordinary mortals, including the disabled, have to trek some distance before arriving at one of the most unwelcoming and dismal entrances one could imagine.
Once in the airport, you are confronted by building work, leading to a cramped and confusing layout. It must have taken some really intensive planning to create the bottleneck between the check in desks and the poorly marked entrance to the ladies toilets. With the sole eatery located between this pinch point and the toilets, the area is totally and frustratingly chaotic. What a shame the British public are so willing to accept this sort of shoddy offering without complaint.
