I got a £100 parking fine after stopping at Bristol Airport for two minutes

A driver has warned travellers about parking charges at Bristol Airport after getting fined £100 for stopping for only two minutes. Nancy Connolly was travelling to Dublin on a flight that only cost her £20, when she was slapped with the hefty fine.

"The days when you could just pull up outside and drop someone off have well and truly gone," she wrote on Somerset Live. "I even remember a time when a nice parking man looked after my car at the front door while I helped my elderly mother into the terminal."

A friend had offered to drop Nancy off at the airport, which attracts thousands of Welsh travellers every week. They had gone in Nancy's car, but stopped within the grounds of the airport to swap places.
