Along with being one of the fastest routes to the terminal, Meet & Greet is an easy, stress-free way to access the check-in area. You simply drive directly to a meeting point at the terminal. Here, you take your bags and head to the check-in desks while a valet parks your car for you.

Making your way to the terminal on time can be a stressful experience, especially if you're departing on an early morning flight. And with East Midlands Airport travel links heavily dependent on the nearby M1, there's a risk of you falling victim to congestion and unexpected closures on departure day.
However, you can make your journey more relaxing by travelling the day before your flight. Just buy a night's hotel accommodation and East Midland's Airport car parking together. Instead of early morning alarms and rush-hour traffic jams, you can enjoy a relaxed night’s sleep and a leisurely breakfast before your flight. And buying a hotel and parking package deal is typically cheaper than buying separately.
