My outbound flight has changed

You’re still travelling today

If you’ll reach the airport later than planned:

Meet & Greet: Use the contact details on your confirmation to tell the parking team when you expect to arrive.
Other parking types: Most car parks offer a grace period until midnight at their discretion.

If your new flight is on a different day, contact the Meet & Greet team using the number on your confirmation. For other parking bookings, get in touch with our team for advice.

You’ve already left your car at the car park

Need to get something from your car? Call the car park first to find out what to do. Check with the team before leaving, as you may not be able to drive back in.

Your return flight has changed

If you’re away and your flight home is delayed or cancelled, contact the car park to let them know when you expect to collect your vehicle. Check your confirmation for details of any extra parking charges.

For Meet & Greet, use the number on your booking confirmation to update the team.

If you added Late Return Cover, you can claim eligible extra parking charges for a delay of up to 48 hours. Keep your receipts and evidence of the flight disruption.

Air Traffic Control Delays - FAQs

During times of significant delay, we get a lot of extra calls asking for advice and guidance on how to best deal with the situation. We've put together a list of our most frequently asked questions along with our answers. If your question isn't answered here, then please contact us and we'll do our best to help you.

If my flight is delayed, should I still arrive at the airport at the original time?

Check your airline’s latest instructions before changing your plans. A delay doesn’t always mean check-in or bag-drop times have changed, so follow your airline’s guidance. What should I do if my flight is diverted to a different airport?

Contact your airline for advice about your onward travel. Your parking booking is for the car park and airport shown on your confirmation, so contact the car park if your plans for collecting your vehicle change. Who should I contact about rebooking my flight or making a compensation claim?

Contact your airline directly. Airparks can help with questions about your parking booking, but your airline can advise you about flight changes and any options available to you. Can I cancel my booking and receive a full refund?

Your cancellation and refund options depend on your booking type and how soon it’s due to start. Flextras bookings can be amended or cancelled, while Supersaver bookings can’t. For full details, read our Terms and Conditions. Can I extend my parking booking?

Once your booking has started, it can’t be amended. You’ll need to pay the car park directly for any extra days, at its gate rate.
