Crazy pricing
Coming from the other side of the pond, this kind of pricing is mind bending. Over $1,600 for a landing, departure and a bit of parking is just daylight robbery. In the last 2 weekends I flew IFR into Houston Hobby and Dallas Love, both of them extremely busy Bravo airspace and very busy airports (Love is the home of Southwest). In both cases here there was no landing fee, no tie down fee (if fuel was purchased), no land slots, and no passenger collection fees, and a "You're as welcome as a SW 737" attitude.
Point being that I know things are different here, but the UK pricing is designed for one thing - to keep GA riff-raff out, and in no way represents the level of service provided or the costs to render that service.
I just shake my head and wonder how anyone can afford to fly anything other than FSX in the UK/Europe.
