I just wanted to praise your staff member operating the Mackadown Lane site last Sunday evening 20/7/2025. My wife broke her leg whilst we were away and thanks to his understanding and help we were able to get her in to the car in a comfortable fashion before we left the site. He displayed good practical initiative and is a credit to himself and to your company.

Great parking place, easy to use and secure. Only gripe would be the distance away from the airport. Have to go through a housing estate and at rush hour this could make the journey time a lot longer than advertised.

Mr. F

Excellent facilities -very easy to book at a very good price. Clean site, brand new transfer buses to the airport- will definatley be using again.

Easy to find, seen straight away, he knew who we were , parked up easily and within 5 mins we were on the bus. Just as easy coming back. Do make a note of exactly where you park, its easy to forget which row!

Having not used air parks for some time i was suprised at the different pickups. This way of working meant waiting over 20 mins for transport when you been up nearly 20 hours this is a bit much. So night flights i will avoid and it will be awhile before i use Aph again.

I used the car park in April and had no issues. Used last week and was waiting 45 minutes for the bus to come and collect us when we landed. Had to call the number on the email and the man who answered didn't even seem bothered. Won't be using again
