Reader update to Parking at Toulouse airport

One of our readers, Chris Galley, has just written in to give us an update to our Parking at Toulouse airport information.

Chris tells us that Toulouse airport does actually have a P4 car park which is for staff rather than the public, and that the "Navette" or shuttle bus only runs to P4, P5 and P6, not P2 as previously stated.

Many thanks Chris for your information on Toulouse airport parking.
