Drop Off Charges - DOUBLED!!
Rip off Britain is alive and well, and residing at EMA!
For £2 you now only get 5 minutes to drop off or pick up, slashed from 10 minutes, so essentially doubled in price. Extra minutes are still charged at £1. So if you were to take 10 minutes, which is quite easily done given the snails pace that even the contactless payment system works, and that's before you start on incompetent drivers who either can't find change, can't find their cards, or even can't manage to park their cars close enough to the machine to pay in the first place you will rack up £7 in parking, as opposed to £2 - so I'm actually wrong in the title above. Prices haven't doubled, they have increased by 350%. Is that some sort of record for a price hike at a UK airport?
I called in at Robin Hood Airport today, there it's £2 for 15 minutes, much more spacious and better laid out parking area, and far superior terminal layout. EMA needs to get it's act together methinks.
Rant over.
