About Official Mid Stay
Mid Stay is Glasgow Airport's newest car park, a surface site on Sanderling Road with a five-minute covered walk to the terminal. You park, keep your keys and walk in without a bus.
Mid Stay is a new surface car park on Sanderling Road. The airport describes a five-minute covered walk to the terminal, which matters in Glasgow weather. There is no shuttle to wait for and no key drop.
The airport positions Mid Stay for weekends and holidays. It sits between Long Stay and the Terminal Multi-Storey on price, and on our sample dates it costs about £28 less than the multi-storey over eight days.
Mid Stay is pre-book only, so you cannot turn up without a booking. The airport describes flexible bookings that can be changed, cancelled and refunded up to two hours before arrival. The site has CCTV, regular patrols and 24-hour security, according to the airport.
