We used to go Liverpool for PPL navigation flights, as has been said you could arrange to go to one of the flying schools to park and pay the landing fee (no handling). After about a year or so of doing this quite happily, the handling agent noticed they were losing the rip-off fee, complained to the Airport and Peel banned the flying schools from doing it any longer. So we just stopped going there, airport loses the landing fees (don't suppose they'll miss that amount though), handling company doesn't get any extra income from us, we have to find somewhere else to go. No winners really, all down to the greed of the handling agents. I seem to recall it was Ravenair at the time, I think LAS is just a brand that is part of Ravenair.
