In Italy they're charging for both major and smaller airports even though fees may vary a lot depending on the airport. It's always a big surprise, often small airports being quiet expencive, I know... it's a business for them. There is still a number of airports not asking for money or being really honest, but the number is diminishing with time. The big deal is that training flights often do not pay or get a really good reduction. You may think you get a valuable service 'cause you payed, but this is often not the case, and fuel in many airports is available only for local aircrafts and that makes it difficult flying long trips. Is it true that, I guess in Uk, you're paying the number of touch and go you fly at some airports?
