July 17, 20187 yr Excellent share!!! All I can say, I am always amazed on how many jobs that one airport creates. Airports in my opinion really do help and vitalize the local economy. Besides, I love watching airplanes from the gate windows and what not. Airports are fun (lets forget the long security lines...also depends on airport...these days things are fast - that is a different topic)...aside that everything is so much fun for an Aviation geek.

July 18, 20187 yr Fees makes my blood boil. Some airport charge more fees, EWR to LHR a couple weeks ago, we paid: Airfare: 1,025.00 USD U.S. Customs User Fee: 5.65 U.S. Immigration User Fee: 7.00 U.S. APHIS User Fee: 3.96 U.S. Transportation Tax: 36.60 September 11th Security Fee: 5.60 U.K. Air Passenger Duty: 108.10 U.K. Passenger Service Charge: 62.30 U.S. Passenger Facility Charge: 4.50 Per Person Total: 1,258.71 USD eTicket Total: 2,517.42 USD The airline has a landing fee (which is probably in the airfare), yet I am being charged a fee too? Isn't that double taxation? My dad's ticket in the 50's cost $35 (I believe it was ATL to CLE) and there were no taxes listed. 10700k / Gigabyte 3060
July 18, 20187 yr thanks for sharing....Better to be a shareholder of a big airport than a big airline... henry k

July 20, 20187 yr Our major airport could probably thrive just on what it collects in car parking fees. Cheers Steve Hall

Quite true, EWR airprot is ridiculous https://www.newarkairport.com/to-from-airport/parking I used to pay $9 a day at the long term P6, which can add 20 minutes since it's is about two miles from the terminals (and the one you have to get off at is usually the last one). With bags quite heavy, well my wife's, we take a limo instead. 10700k / Gigabyte 3060
July 8, 20205 yr One of the biggest money makers for airports, is the fees at the car parks. Alan Bradbury Check out my youtube flight sim videos: Here
July 8, 20205 yr They may start charging more as some airlines are pulling out of some airports and staff are being laid off, profits falling. Raymond Fry.
