Stansted Airport (Nov 2009) - Pickup - park in nearby town & catch a bus?
As my partner’s parents now have to fly from Slovakia into Stansted, arriving tomorrow at 11.15am, what might be the most cost effective way to collect them. The pickup charges appear ludicrous and do not think anything has improved since last experience. In Luton I can park in the medium parking for £3 and get 2 hours parking and it not much more than a 10 minute walk to the terminal. I do not think it fair to have to pay nearer £10 at Stansted so I would prefer if this is the case to use a local bus service and give the money to the local community. So how much, how long and how easy will it be for me to find fair parking in e.g. Bishops Stortford and get the 3 of us back in a reasonably short period of time. Example Arriva Service 510 - 16 minute journey (Tel 0844 800 4411 - currently closed) Thanks

Then Arriva
Bishop’s Stortford – London Stansted Airport £2.60 single, £4 return
But what are the parking charges in Bishops Stortford close to the bus stop etc
I would say drive up to Birchanger Services which is at the M11 junction where the turn off for Stansted Airport is http://motorwayservicesonline.co.uk/Birchanger_Green … tell your partner’s parents to phone you on your mobile phone once they have cleared Customs and are heading for the arrivals area, if they don’t have a mobile phone too there are always payphones around … in the meantime you sit in the motorway services with free parking having a coffee waiting for their call … when they call tell them to make their way to the Short Stay Car Park … with a bit of luck they will get there about the same time as you do … the first 30 minutes in the Short Stay Car Park costs £2.50

short term parking at heathrow?
Ive got to drop someone off at terminal 4 heathrow does anyone know the parking situation e.g how long can i park outside before getting ticketed ,and ive got the same problem picking them up .
You cannot park outside at all. There is security there all the time and they will come and tell you to move. You are allowed to drop someone off and unload the luggage just outside the terminal entrance, but you cannot stay for a longer period of time.
When waiting to pick them up, there is a short-stay car park that you could use. It will cost you a couple of pounds, but that would be my best tip. Just have your friends/party meet you there or have them call you when they’re outside the exit and you can drive up and pick them up then.
