Meet & Greet Terminal 1

Very easy to use. Dropped the car off without any fuss. Then collect the keys from the terminal building and the car is waiting on the top of the car park. Makes life easier when just returning from holiday and want to get home xx

Meet & Greet Terminal 1

Dropping car off was easy despite snow at the airport. Picking up could have been slicker - more accurate car bay number rather than 'Green 2' and ANPR barrier at exit. I had to call for assistance to exit.

Meet & Greet Terminal 3

Worked well for drop off, but the M&G system isn't great if you are returning to a different terminal, the office isn't well signed unless to actually go into the terminal, and then the person on the desk gave me rather vague instructions to where my car was, which I struggled to find. It all took rather longer than i had hoped for given that i was paying for a premium service! Would probably book again, but only because i now know what to do!
