"Focus on the landing fees, thats where the money goes".
You are bloody joking.........................
Since when have the airport landing fees EVER represented more than 20% of the total bill for "handling", and other "services"???!!!
Paphos Total bill 2,494 Euros - Landing fee 86 Euros
Madrid Torejon 668 Euros - Landing fee 127 Euros
Olbia 499 Euros - landing fee 66 Euros
Bremen 435 Euros - landing fee 85 Euros
That's just in the last 3 weeks!
Most handling agents are a law unto themselves and can charge all manner of hidden (un-communicated to the crew) charges that only appear on the bill at the end when you have 3 minutes to settle up before the Boss arrives (early of course) and you have no option but to pay and try and claim back (yeh right!) later.
Handling Agents do have their uses, BUT, their charges are (in many cases) both fictional, and criminal in our opinion.
