So £10 if youre out in time £28.00 if you go over 15 mins

The fee for vehicle drop-offs directly outside the terminal at London Stansted Airport has increased to £28 for stays between 15 and 30 minutes.

Rates for vehicles stopping for under 15 minutes have also increased, by 40%, from £7 to £10.

The airport, which wanted to encourage travellers to use public transport, said "kiss and fly" stops were the least environmentally friendly, requiring four car journeys per flight.

However, Essex-based taxi driver Matt Malone, 54, said the increase was "absolutely disgusting" and remembered it being free 15 years ago when he started the job.

theres more but we get the gist !


PURE GREED !

That pish the airports always spout about the charges being about encouraging people to use public transport reminds me of this meme:

It is pure and utter greed. :sad:

Airports aren't making as much as they want to at the moment, so they just up the parking/drop off fees.

As for the 'you should use public transport', I merely ask how does someone use such transport for a 6.00 am flight, or a 12.00 am return?

I would love to see a reduction in the number of people flying from Stansted but I suspect this won't dent those figures
