Reader slams Belfast City Airport parking cost
06.03.09
A reader wrote to the Belfast Telegraph to complain about the cost of parking at Belfast City Airport. He told the newspaper that it had cost him less to fly to England and back than to park at the airport for a day and a half.
The reader told the Telegraph: 'I have never felt so ripped off in all of my long years of travelling. I arrived back at the Belfast City Airport from East Midlands Airport (return fare courtesy of Ryanair, £20) to find the display on the car park machine showing £21 for 36 hours’ airport parking.'
'I checked with a member of staff to make sure there was no mistake. It is exorbitant, and only slightly less than I would have paid to park for a week at Belfast International, with a choice of car parks.'
'In that last phrase lies the explanation. There is a monopoly at Belfast City, which is being used to inflate charges inflicted on the travelling public. Is there no consumer or travel trade organisation that can take this up with those who fix these rates? A return fare to England for less than the airport car parking fee, come on!'
