Airport car park rip off! At £302 a fortnight, it's more expensive than parking a plane
It now costs £163.90 to park a car at Heathrow for eight days and £302.50 for 15 days. And, unlike Heathrow, where you can still drop off someone for nothing, Bournemouth Airport charges £2.50 just to stop briefly and let out a passenger. Drive up to Stansted or Luton's drop-off point and you will be charged £2. Manchester Airports Group, the largest UK-owned airports operator in the country, said that in the year to March 2013 it earned £59million from parking fees. While it charges motorists £2.80 to park their car for a mere half an hour, an Airbus A380 gets four hours' free parking on the apron.
