You can walk to the terminal from the mid-stay car park in 10min, while the shuttle from the long-stay car park (the cheaper option) only takes 10min and is a 24h service. For anyone who doesn’t like to wait, there is also a FastPark service which allows you to drop your car off in a hurry, though this service must be pre-booked.
