July 17th - Airport charges: Drop-off rip-off, says RAC

from Simon Calder's Independent Travel Podcast

Some of the UK’s top airports now charge a fee of £7 for dropping off passengers at the airport. Only one, London City, has no charge. In contrast, almost every airport abroad allows drivers to stop outside the terminal for free. Rod Dennis of the RAC says this is another example of “rip-off Britain”.This podcast is free, as is Independent Travel's weekly newsletter. Sign up here to get it delivered to your inbox.
