£100?[..]Just hand it over to the information desk, thank you kindly.
That IMO is being plain silly - The £10 charge is not an issue because it is more than offset by the free parking, I think that's fair comment.

When the charges go BEYOND £10 after the free parking has been taken into consideration would be the time I though BB would be profiteering, and then I would probably not use Blackpool airport.
But we are nowhere near that stage - Are we?.

Well I doubt that there will be many unsuspecting travelers TSR - Most book on the internet and most will have read about the charge on the BKL airport site, or the Jet2 or Ryanair site - As good as PPRune is, it's not the only source of information.
I am a CO admin an a cricket forum, but you don't have to be a member of my site to know that England cricket team have been humiliated when bowled out for 51 by the West Indies.
EDIT: Does anyone think this thread has become over negative over the £10 charge, and Blackpool Airport as a whole, which after all only affects a few: And had BB gone down the route of increasing landing charges, we still would not have escaped higher charges.
The only real negative effect is Ryanair leaving, and if Girona was that profitable - then another carrier will take on that route.
