Getting the bus for £36 return for 2 people.
That is the short term I presume?
I always park in the short term and have done before they offered as a prebook option, especially when I was expensing for work. You not being extorted, you are paying for a premium parking spot right at the door of the terminals and it's always been that expensive (you get a discount for pre-booking now). The problems are since quick park shut there is a shortage of long term spots (the blue is a pain in the bollox) and more cost effective options.
The bus is great value and drops you right at the terminals. If you have close by, not sure why you'd drive to the airport tbh.
The other options were a 15min transfer from the blue long term car park for £130 and another shorter one for £108. Parked in the red car park a few years ago and it's more than doubled in price. I'm only 10/15 min from the bus route so you're right, it's a better option to just get the bus.
Red has alway been a pain and nearly always sold out. Quick park being shut has made it worse but it's always been the one I thought was a rip off compared to the other options. The short term is ironically the best value, I'm a fan of the short term option and won't have a word said against it
I taxi it mostly now since Quick Park shut as it's 40 euro one way and door to door.
