Don't you just hate the way the handling charge is often much more than the landing fee?!

I stopped at Lille yesterday. We were met by the handling agent who drove us to the main terminal and walked us through various locked doors to the main concourse where the restaurant is. After lunch we asked the information desk to call her, and she walked us through passport control and back on to the airside, then drove us back to the GA terminal. She got us weather info, and drove us back to the aircraft -- all 100 metres.

Landing and parking for a 1700 kg twin was EUR 4.06 + VAT. The mandatory handling fee was, as usual, the most expensive part of the bill by far, at EUR 8.50 + VAT.
