be aware of a certain hotel next door to belfast city airport!
after trying to decide whether or not it was more economical to land at EGAC and just drive round the corner, passengers decided they wanted the prestige approach to 'arrive in style'
called the night before and was told by a friendly receptionist that landing fee was "two fifty", when i replied "ok, pounds sterling?" the reply was "yes sir". only after looking at the bill 5 days later was it clear that the fee was in fact two HUNDRED and fifty pounds sterling! sneaky
i did think that £2.50 was a rather odd fee but surely £250.00 is taking the michael. it never crossed my mind, most hotels previously visited are welcoming and charge no fee to patrons.
could have landed at belfast, rented a car, eaten out and had money left to put some fuel in the tanks!





Doesn't the rip-off hotel next door to Belfast City airport have a name?
