Picking someone up at the airport was a simple affair; you drove up to arrivals and they got in. Now, because of security, cars are not allowed near and you must park up in short stay car parks. I went to Manchester and it cost me £5.10 for just over an hour. I bet they keep this system going. Nice earner ! Are we being conned.

Well we should blame the terrorists for this- this is the price we pay for safety, but yep i expect the airports will stick to this. I always pay to park anyway when i take anyone to the airport or pick them.

We are not being conned at all It is all down to the high level of security.The only vehicles allowed on that road is ..you guessed it Black Taxis and who are driving them??.I can tell you that the cuurrent situation is permanent and apperently working well.I have to agree that the Airport is making extra revenue through these measures,but then they shelled out their profit 60 million on security last year.Perhaps the answer may be to use a taxi.

properly shall we save the analogue device, yet that would proceed to limit the point of service maximum individuals can get. With analogue amenities there are nonetheless huge areas without Channel 5, or maybe distant areas without Channel 4, which won't sound substantial, yet those are formally regarded public service broadcasters. The analogue device prevents greater growth of the quantity of amenities obtainable. yet you have a decision. purchase it, or do not purchase it. observing television isn't obligatory.

somebody will always make a buck in a crisis and yes it is ridiculous and should waiver fees when you are forced to park there but they won't.
