Is that typical or where there problems??
It's the design !!
Only two barriers serving a split parking area to get out (escape!)
. Both accept tickets which have variable charges down to nil for a quick "drop off & collect" which can become impossible if some one in front makes a hash, thus invalidating their ticket & causing a chain reaction where everyone is on the 'last minute' or potentially on an excess charge. You then also get the clever s*d who anticipates the queue and waits till near the barrier then 'legs it' out to validate their ticket at the remote pay machine thus temporarily abandoning their vehicle in a theoretically moving queue. The internal car park exit tail back then crosses the entry access and way ho! 'Log jam! IF something isn't done this is going to be the same ALL summer'
Problem is the same parking capacity was fully utilised when 2 Million pax. now 5 Million no land, no multi storey, serious politics with rival off site parking business. Curious how a totally disproportionate amount of room remains available for ONLY the selected airport taxi monopoly in front of terminal, forces ALL other drop off vehicles, including other taxis, into the above totally useless car park
