Airport drop-off fees up by a third - here are the priciest

Core point

Drop-off fees at major UK airports have increased by an average of a third since last summer. Gatwick Airport charges a £10 'farewell fee' for 10 minutes, while Stansted allows 15 minutes for the same price. The RAC noted that UK airports generally offer free drop-off options further from terminals. The Aviation Environment Federation supports the fees as a way to encourage the use of public transport to reduce congestion.
