Why is there only one competition comission?
Giving ailrines control of airports is like giving matches to children - they think they know how they work and want to play with them but will burn their fingers.
BAA may have made a hash of things but I struggle to see how you can get more facilities and better quality without spending more money. MOL would introduce an entirely new dynamic and why shouldn't passengers pay for the services they use?
Chose the level of service you require an pay accordingly.
My average pass through time as a SLF is only about 10 - 15 minutes at each airport. I always internet check in and don't park but would pay for fast bag drop and fast track it it avoided mixing with shell suited holiday mob. It woudn't matter to me if the terminal was a shed with concrete floor and whilst T5 looks great on paper it is a huge disappointment to me as a passenger - if I wanted to pay to use a shopping centre - I would go to a shopping centre- at least I could get out when I wanted without having to wait for the Nigels to arrive - Why is BA's punctuality so bad?
