At Liverpool Airport you can drop off and pick up for free, instead of turning left you go right and your punters then have to walk, at least they've got the option.


I know, but it’s quite a walk. I give them the option though.

Most airports have a free option. it usually requires the passenger to use the transfer bus to the car park furthest from the terminal.

Doncaster has a 30 minutes free wait outside the terminal. I don't know how long it will last or until it's bought out by Manchester Airport then it won't be free.

You can still drop off and pick up at Doncaster airport for free use the long stay car park for dropping off and the short stay car park for pick ups for up to 15 minutes free.
The only thing to be wary of is stopping anywhere on the double yellow lined roads around the airport as they are privately owned and a camera van is constantly patrolling and if you're caught stationery for even a few seconds you can expect a PCN through your letterbox.

Can you be issued with a PCN if the roads are privately owned?

I suspect he meant a ticket from one of the scammers.

Term 1 has a multi story car park and an outside one. There’s nothing hard about it.

I have been told that if you pick up passengers at the drop off point at Manchester that you can't get out unless you pay £100.00 is this true?


They have marshals there waiting for you. And yes it’s £100
