2Planks: I'd be more worried about the price of a pint in the terminal or on board your flight than a drop off charge..£2.50 darn here in BOH for drop off , but then with a pint costing £5 its enough to
in yer beer
However the issue of free access to airports is now with EU Transport Commissioner, Siim Kallas. He has said that the EU's transport directorate would raise the drop-off charge with the European Observatory on Airport Capacity, which has the remit to address the question of access to all of Europe's airports.
Just watch the pick up charge double though to compensate for any EU free drop off legislation....and yes its about time those idiots at LBIA put some covered walkways in down the ramp like BRS...We're not all hard as nails twelve cans of wife beater northerners you know
