Bristol, Newcastle & East Midlands charge £1 while Bournemouth charges £2.50p for pick/drop off fees. Manchester also has a £2.20 pick up free for arriving passengers. (But dose include 30 mins parking)
Meanwhile Airports at Newquay £5, Teeside £6 and Blackpool £10 charge a development fee instead that have to be paid by all departing passengers. Not just car drivers.
So would you rather pay the £6 to £10 development fee instead of the now lower priced £2 (£4 return) drop off/pick up fee which is only paid by car users at Leeds/Bradford?
The fee can be avoided at LBA by parking in the Long stay Car Park 3. As it’s still free to park in there for up to 1 hour. It can also be avoided by using either one of the airport bus services which operate from Leeds (757), Bradford (737/747), Harrogate (737) and Otley (967).
