I totally agree. A junction off the A338 running adjacent to the airport would be ideal. This would enable a quicker arrival & onward journey to and from the airport. Would additionally provide an easy divert for National Express coaches allowing direct routes to Southampton, London & Bournemouth train station.
The terminals certainly could do with further investments to enable a more comfortable and pleasurable experience. A runway extension certainly isn’t required.
