I, like most, hate having to pay the extortionate fees airports charge for parking but in retrospect I think this guy now wishes he had paid!

You normally find residential parking within 20 minutes walk of most airports. Maybe not Heathrow, but I've parked for free near Stansted, Bristol and Gatwick airports, never had a problem.



Yes but you can come unstuck as we've seen with the current thread of being towed near Leeds/Bradford. As you saw I'm not too sympathetic about his lane parking but hope he at least gets the expenses back - doubt he'll get compensation.

I live near Gatwick and would sympathise with locals getting peed off with holiday makers leaving their cars outside their houses, however pickups avoiding parking charges are fairly simple.
