For 12 days in April :-

T1,2,3 £162.10
T4 £134.60
T5 £264.10

How can BAA justify almost double the price from T4 to T5? I presume the cars all end up in the same car park, so where does the extra 130 quid go?
Unbelievable! Have you tried Long Stay Plus T5 - SuperSaver which for 12 days across Easter comes in at £85.50. OK, not valet but you drop your car off and pick it up from the reception area and it is a third of the price.
