UK Airports, Car Parks - Stansted - Passenger pickup hell from Oct 2006. Environmentally unfriendly?
No common sense left in world? Partner arrived at 10pm on a European flight to Stansted & was waiting. Inside terminals hell at moment so why can’t officials get something right. As a stranger to this airport (she flew from different airport) there is minimal info. Long Q of cars into short term 15min pickup advises min charge £1 (no other rates). Inside find a bay to park & pay at foot pay station (significant Q’s) - mass of people; no clear ID or marked waiting areas to find people. You struggle to find friends & family. Cars queuing way back waiting to get into short term parking & there are no notices adivsing specific prices. I got out "1st" time after 16 mins for £3 but other people hammered for £20. The Orange Car park just next door gives fairer fares & this advise not displayed. Cash Cow to excess? Sack designers? Customer care cannot get any worse? Penalised as 1 car family? Park & Ride? UK 3rd world? NCP & BAA in profit drive? 2min pickup > 1hr. Boycott, save planet?
Ummmm…. Youre worried about the environmental impact of car parking ? at an AIRPORT ? where MASSIVE jet engins burn away gallons and gallons of fuel at insanely low efficiency levels…. Hey… drive anywhere drive in individual cars, if you wanna save the planet…… Boycot the aeroplanes !

Whats the closest parking available to the terminal building at Heathrow Terminal 5?
Hi, I absolutely hate with a passion those shuttle bus things when you are leaving your car at the airport and am flying from terminal 5 monday return sunday - is there on airport parking like an ncp or something opposite the terminal building like gatwick at Terminal 5. or do you have to do the dreaded park and ride 
I can confirm purple parking are the people to use.They will meet you at your departure terminal and take good care of your car.I have used them on a number of occasions,and they are cheaper than using one of the airport parks…you can contact them on 0208 813 8130.
