How can I pay on exit?

Car parks operate a ticketless system - a camera records vehicle entry and exit and an appropriate tariff is requested when you leave.

Payment can be made by cash or credit/debit card including Apple Pay. When paying in cash change will be given. Receipts are available on request at the exit.

What happens if my flight is delayed and I overstay?

LBA recognises that sometimes customers arrive back a little later than intended so allow a short grace period free of charge.

If you need longer, the car park barrier on exit will calculate the overstay price for you, so you can simply make payment on your way out.

What are the free pick up and drop off options?

You can park for up to one hour for free in LBA’s free parking zone that’s great for picking up and dropping off passengers.
