The airport 'kiss and drop' charges costing families giving lifts £1.30 a minute
Several major UK airports now charge £10 or more for brief drop-offs, with London City reaching £1.30 a minute, researchers said.
- Drivers in Britain may pay more per minute for airport drop-offs than staying at The Ritz London, with London City Airport charging up to £1.30 per minute for brief stops.
- Several major UK hubs impose high charges: Gatwick and Stansted charge £10 for 10 minutes, while Edinburgh and Bristol charge £8.50, and Bournemouth, Leeds Bradford, Norwich, and Southend cost £8.
- Luton Airport presents a steeper structure, charging £7 for the first 10 minutes, then £1 per additional minute, meaning drivers staying the full 30-minute maximum could face a £27 bill.
- Heathrow requires payment by midnight the following day for its £7 drop-off fee; failure to pay incurs an £80 charge, reduced to £40 if settled within 14 days.
- Alex Dyer, Managing Director of Ski Famille, urges families to check airport rules before traveling and decide between paying for terminal forecourts or using free car parks with shuttle buses.
