How do I reach the terminal once I have parked?

Accepted Answer

This is dependent on which parking form you have opted for. With Shuttle Parking, you park your car and then a shuttle bus will pick you up from the car park and take your directly to the terminal. This is almost always included in the price of your parking space. With Valet Parking, there are no transfers.

Question 6

How frequent is the transfer bus?

Accepted Answer

You don't usually have to wait long for a shuttle bus as they are always very frequent and run throughout the day and night. Sometimes the driver may wish to wait until the bus has more passengers before setting off. In addition, during high season and busy periods, the bus may get full more quickly. The provider will therefore adjust the amount of staff and frequency of the transfer buses.
