Parking at Luton Airport Parkway Station then going on holiday

[flitwickbeds]

Despite asking both Thameslink and APCOA (the car park operator) for a copy of their terms and conditions for parking at Luton Airport Parkway, neither of them could provide it online and APCOA said to refer to the signage on site.

Am I allowed to park at Luton Airport Parkway Station then get on the shuttle bus to the airport and go on holiday without using the train?

I would be parking for 8 days and would pay for all of it in advance on the APCOA app.

Have you not looked at the long stay car park at the airport?

Have you not looked at the long stay car park at the airport?

Yes. Much more expensive. And still requires a bus transfer to the terminal.

I was recently told by someone that they left their car at Parkway to go on holiday as it was cheaper than using the airport itself.

I've certainly done that before and had no issues.

The only way I've ever known any such "for rail travellers only" restrictions be enforced is what happens at the likes of Oxford - where you can only pay for your parking online, and need the daily code, which is on a display on the platform.

There is no such arrangement at Luton Airport Parkway. If you have paid the correct parking fee that's all that matters.
