BAA to increase charges at LHR & LGW
So the BAA are looking at increasing costs to carriers at the above airports. This will no doubt be passed on to the public in the form of a £2 - £10 rise on a ticket. What exactly does the passenger get for this rise? I don't hear the phrase 'value for money' being used!! Bearing in mind the baggage fiasco last month at terminal 4, plus consistent queuing at immigration and security, will there be any improvements in these essential in the near or distant future? I think not. No doubt the extra revenue raised through these unnecessary charges will inflate the bank balance of the BAA>
Terminal 5 will not help in anyway especially as many flights will be using remote stands. The spaces created in terminal 4 will be filled by new carriers etc. So we will be back to square one with no improvements for the poor passenger who has to endure the hardships of LHR.
