Have you noticed airports have started charging parking fees that feel like ransom demands? Leave your car for a week or two, and suddenly the parking bill costs more than your flight, your hotel, and probably your snacks combined. Try to dodge it by getting someone to drop you off, and they’ll slap you with a £10 “thanks for passing by” fee for a 3-minute goodbye. For now, the train and bus are still free of this madness—take them, and you might save enough to buy an extra cocktail or two or even another holiday!

Typical (2 Week) Prices

With fares this outrageous, you could save hundreds of pounds by ditching the car and using public transport instead. Keep your hard‑earned cash exactly where it belongs—in your pocket, not the big corporates.
