Airport parking
Short-term, long-term, express and business car parks are a three-minute walk from the terminal precinct. The cheapest option for parking is in the long-term car park found 400 metres away from the terminals; it’s a 10-minute walk or a trip by courtesy shuttle (they depart every 20 minutes) to the airport buildings. Pick up a ticket when you arrive and pay at the automatic payment machine when you leave.
Specific airport features
Hand luggage is sometimes weighed at passport control, as well as when checking in, so watch your weight allowance when you're stocking up on duty-free goods.
