Some plane passengers have had to pay extra for outstaying their time in airport car parks, even though the airport was shut, PA reports. Marketing manager Richard Busby, 59, paid out an extra £65 after falling foul of bad weather at Luton Airport.
He had left his car in a short-term car park and planned to return to it after a business trip of just a few hours to Edinburgh on Tuesday. He was unable to do so because the airport was closed. But when he returned to collect his car, he was forced to pay an extra bill, and is unlikely to be able to reclaim this from the airport, airline or his travel insurer.
