The 'Long stay car park' is probably one of the ones they are frantically still trying to build! Currently there are 2 car parks right opposite the new Terminal, with others under construction just beyond those. Stobart also have bought a large piece of land opposite the Airport (by the McDonalds roundabout) which used to be the park+ride car park for the old Access Credit Card call centre staff, that will be turned into additional parking 'as required.' In the first instance the car park opposite the terminal can just about cope, and the others are nearly finished. And at £6 a day and 2 mins from the terminal I'd say its good value compared to other airports.
The car park between the rail station and the new terminal is serving as the short, medium and long term car parks pending the completion of the other car parks mentioned by smallpilot. £6.00/day or £35/week is the current charge for all users.
GA has dispersed around the field, Ours has gone along with some others to the Northern Apron, by the self-service pumps, others to the New Seawing area, and a couple across taxyway D to the North Side of the airport.

Spent part of the day in the easy crew room and was chatting to some of the base management . They are excited about tomorrow and it all looks good for first thing ! See you in the morning !
Any word on what the passenger numbers on today's first Southend - Belfast - Southend flights were?
Judging by the fares and the lack of availability for Staff travel on the Barcelona flight, one could be lead to believe that there was a good load on it?
Best of luck to one and all involved in Easyjet's new operation from Southend.
