Drive directly to the airport terminal and leave your car with our parking provider (Purple Parking).

If you do not wish to take advantage of complimentary hotel parking during your stay you can park in the Long stay car park as long as this does not result in you exceeding the maximum number of parking days purchased. The courtesy bus only goes from the Long stay car park to the terminal building and not to the Premier Inn so you will need to get from the terminal to the hotel (A chargeable shuttle runs between the terminal and Premier Inn).
