PLEASE MEET YOUR DRIVER in ZONE D On Terminal Road North CM24 1RW also know as “ Express Set Down” on Floor 1 ”
The Signs within the building however confusingly refer to the Express set down as the “Free Set Down “ with the Signs inside the airport.
The “Free Set down “ is Also known as “ The Pickup and Drop Off point for normal cars” this is directly outside the main entrance of the Airport on floor 1.
(*Please do not confuse the Express set down with the “Taxi and Coach pick up drop off point” that is on Floor 0 or the Orange Car park)
Please note that you will need to either catch a lift / elevator to floor 1 as when you land and exit the plane you will normally land and be on floor 0 .
If you struggle to find the “Free Set Down “ / “Express Set Down please ask for assistance at the Information desk
Please contact your driver when your at the drop off point (You can also contact him on Whatsapp) WE STRONGLY recommend you call him when your at the “Free Set Down “
*We advise you contact the driver when your at the Express set down point so as to ensure you pay no more than £7 for parking as there is a 10 minute time limit before the parking fee increases rapidly.
