Rapid Drop Off zone - 10 minutes, for just £1
Short Stay Car Park – 30 minutes, for just £2


That makes it sound like a real bargain and that they are doing us a favour.

Shall we have a sweepstake on which will be the LAST ! airport in Britain to introduce this

My Money will be on Heathrow because I doubt they would risk the traffic chaos that would result ! mind you Doncaster might be a good bet as well because I doubt they would recover the cost of the equipment with the level of traffic there !

well ive had enough, im almost equi-distance between EMA and BHX (the latter is just about 5 mile more) and if a return is gonna cost me £2 at either then its going on the bill

dont see why i should lose out when i already quote cheap fares

Doncaster do it already. They have no free drop off's or pick up areas.

we've only ever had one fare there and that was soon after it opened so no idea really not a very popular destination from these parts even though it is probably slightly nearer than Luton or stansted

what hacks me off is the silence when i ask for the RETURN fare when i drop em at the airport, ive not come across any airline doing return fares payable on landing on the return leg, at least i dont ask for payment 6 months in advance like BuggerAll, EasySweat and Robbinair, and i cant stick extras on.....

I've got one regular customer who NEVER pays me until I drop them off on the return and then its usually by cheque !customers always naturally worry that you won't turn up so they prefer to pay at the end of the journey not up front
