I see a passenger has wrote to the Herald and Post complaining that the airport management has wrecked his family Christmas when it took an hour and a quarter to get from the long stay car park to the terminal for a 07:30 departure. According to the passenger this was caused by a faulty car park bus that wouldn’t work, then a coach driver who was more interested in drinking his tea than driving the replacement car park coach and finally the Christmas queue to the terminal caused in his opinion by drivers dropping people off on the roundabout rather then spend a £1 to exit the drop off area.
This meant that his family of 4 were not reunited with his parents for a Christmas break.
Looking at his published address, which is Barnet, North London, the 27 mile journey via the M1 should have taken 38 minutes according to Google maps. Seeing that he claims he left his house at 04:30 in the morning on empty roads I think his complaints are reasonable.
