Anyone know whether the new Peugeot E7 can access the drop off point at terminal 1 at Manchester Airport, It has been a while since I have been to terminal 1 and cannot remember what the height restrictions are.

The height is shown as 6ft 6inches, my Merc Vito goes under no problem, but does cause some concern if a punter is in the front seat :lol:

That right, you must stay in your own area.

Airports are for PH, not taxis. :wink:

You can have them, for me.

Hate, hate, hate, airport pickups.

The last time I went to Heathrow was by one way car hire to fly off to Vancouver.

The vito is 8cm lower at 1900mm and 6ft 6 inches works out at 1980 mm which is exactly the height of my E7 so I reckon it would be a tight squeeze if at all.

its is getting more and more difficult to do that airports are getting quite strict with cars sitting in the drop off zone especially Gatwick but they seem to turn a blind eye to it at heathrow which is why you have to queue for ages to drop off at T3
