Be careful when you next offer to do an airport run for your loved ones. Eight UK airports have raised or introduced the so-called 'kiss and fly charges' - which are typically levied for dropping off someone as close to a terminal as possible
Drop-off fees for drivers have increased at more than a third of major UK airports in the past year, according to new research. Of the 21 airports analysed by a recent RAC investigation, eight were found to have raised or introduced charges for dropping passengers off since August 2022.
Southampton has raised its fee from £4 to £6 for 20 minutes, while the latter has hiked its price from £1 to £3 for 10 minutes. Previously, Belfast City Airport allowed drivers to drop passengers near its terminal for free but now charges £3 for 10 minutes.Aberdeen, Birmingham, Glasgow, Leeds Bradford and Liverpool John Lennon airports have each added £1 to their fees.
The only airports analysed which allow free drop-offs outside terminals are Cardiff, Inverness and London City. Many airports offer free options for dropping passengers off in mid or long-stay car parks connected to terminals by buses. "Doing your research ahead of travelling has never been more important. Many airports offer a free or reduced-rate drop-off area away from the terminal in long-stay car parks where travellers can hop on a shuttle bus connection, saving their driver from incurring more expensive charges nearer the departures building.
