Exactly. But the problem Tesco have is that the competition is on their doorstep – it’s a no brainer to make a 5 minute diversion to another supermarket. Not quite so easy with an airport, which is why LBA can get away with it and Tesco’s can’t……
Absolutely. The car parking charge will gain plenty of tuts and whinging but ultimately, and this key, it probably won't put them off using the airport. People tend to have short memories and as always they will still look for the cheapest fare or take into account the convenience of an airport. Ironically, the former is probably the reason why such charges are brought in.......because nobody wants to pay the going rate for a flight. No person in their right mind would seriously take into account a dropping off fee......other than the very frequent flyer who wants to prove a point.
