London airports increase the cost of parking in the family holidays.

The Independent has found out that airports in the UK earn extra money for families who are forced to buy tours during school holidays and at the height of the summer season, raising the parking fee by more than two times.

The Independent has studied the cost of parking in the ten largest airports in the UK.

Two of the largest airports in the UK the airport in Manchester and London Gatwick have increased prices by half. Birmingham Airport – increased parking by 57% in April compared with March.

Edmund King, president of the AA, said: “This is really outrageous and will be bad news for many parents of young children who need a car to get to the airport.”

Airports were also criticized for the fees they charge. Norwich, for example, collects 10 pounds “for the development of the airport.” Critics say that this is just a way to make air tickets look cheaper than they really are.

The representative of Edinburgh Airport said: “Fluctuations in the cost of parking due to demand, particularly for parking in summer. We can not meet the demand for parking when it costs £ 43 per week. ”

In some airports there was no festive price increase: prices in Stansted, airports in Glasgow and Newcastle during the holidays and in the summer season do not change. At Heathrow Airport, the week of parking costs £ 73 almost all year round.
