Reading the whole thing, the criteria for the award seem to be about passenger experience – lack of delays, hospitality etc, but are not stated.

Talking-up Scotland 
Well, it wasn’t for their parking facilities and charges. Recently, I took my brother there for his flight back to USA. Took us about 15mins to get a parking space, helped him in with his luggage, checked-in, had a coffee, saw him to Security. £15 for the “pleasure” of parking in my EV. Sorry, but that’s a rip-off.

It costs 1 pound to use the drop off point although you have to be quick. £1.00 for the first 3 minutes then the costs mount up so forget the coffee.
