Re: Car Parks

I like the idea of the Friday Saturday, or the Sunday and Monday departures but it means taking the kids out of school.

Re: New Year flying

Do they usually finish earlier or be less busy on a Friday? Been on holiday at Lossiemouth a few times and it's been very quiet on Fridays.

Car Parks

Is there one of the car parks that is better to the flying from? Will be travelling with my 5 year old daughter and was thinking if she gets tired I could return to the car and watch some flying from the car.
