Drop off charges at UK airports - what’s your thoughts? Airports around the world offer free time to drop off but UK airports increase fees at up to 25%.

@reading_buses @ReadingFC can someone tell me if Mereoak park & ride is open & available for the game tomorrow. For the last home game it was not available to park in.

@ramy_abousetta Got to be honest the supporters were struggling more but they stayed..
English
I questioned Leam Richardson his substitutions of Aston Villa loanee Kadan Young and, Brighton loanee Kamari Doyle - considering they were the best two attacking players against Port Vale.
In blunt terms they were 'struggling'.

Create your Reading FC 5-aside team but you can only use players that surname starts with the same letter as yours! 👇🏼

@readingfclens Same in any businesses if you move jobs you bring those who you know and trust if they will come and create your new team around them. The rest of the team are new to you as a new boss so you create your culture by osmosis. New blood will come when the time and culture is right.

Is the criteria for our signings “only players who have been managed by Leam Richardson” ? #readingfc

@Clivewratten is right in challenging the fees that are being applied for drop-off & collecting passengers at airports. Clearly it is being viewed as a revenue stream that unless it's challenged will continually be hiked!

Business Travel Association vows to challenge London City Airport drop-off charges ✈️⬇️ taxi-point.co.uk/post/business-…

@Gatwick_Airport @DadTaxi1 @easyJet Time for change, around 100 departing flights between 05:00 & 09:00 when public transport is really tough to get for check in It’s just a money grab, congestion it isn’t, sustainablity it isn’t with 40,000 car park spaces that you want filled so why is drop off less sustainable?
English
How does @Gatwick_Airport substantiate a £10 drop off charge when my @easyJet flight in January costs €19? #ripoffbritain
English
@LondonCityAir So disappointing that you have joined the rest of the UK airports cash grab. Public transport is good if you live close to a DLR station or a bus stop & don’t have to check in by 06:00. @TheBTAorg charter for drop offs needs to be adopted by all UK airports.
English
On 6th January 2026, London City Airport will introduce a drop-off charge.
The charge will be £8.00 for 0-5 minutes then £1 minute for any additional minutes, with a maximum stay of 10 minutes. Blue badge holders will be exempt from the charge.
This move is part of our commitment to encourage more travel to and from the airport via public and sustainable transport modes, of which two-thirds of our passengers already use.
All the details on the incoming drop-off charge can be found here: londoncityairport.com/parking/drop-o…

@Readingfanman Maybe they will simply switch the enhanced fun to the pitch as the weather only allows for one enhanced fun per stadium? But then again…
English
Listen, if it’s not safe enough for an enhanced fun zone, it’s not safe enough for football.
Reading FC@ReadingFC
Unfortunately, due to the bad weather conditions, we have decided to cancel the enhanced fun zone for tonight's game. These activities will return at matchdays in the new year. Santa Claus and his reindeer will still be in attendance. Details below 👇

@jumpjim @SimonCalder @Heidi_Labour 100% it’s also costing British business millions time for change.
English
@SimonCalder @Heidi_Labour .. As the (Brand) new Transport Secretary do you think that LGW (And LHR) price gouging customers JUST to drop people off is acceptable?

Terminal tenner!
Airport drop-off charges to hit £10 as Gatwick hikes its driver fee by 43%.
Starts 6 January 2026 (on that day Wizz Air has a flight to Krakow for just £13.99).
Standard fee elsewhere: £7.
Gatwick blames rise on doubling of business rates.

@SimonCalder It’s time for government intervention and airport parking to be regulated. Our charter is asking for a fair fee

@IdentityTrav Yes a warm welcome to 2026 from our friends at Gatwick, tis the season…

…,and a Happy New Year @Clivewratten

Our forecourt drop-off charge is changing from 6 January. The minimum charge to use our designated drop-off zones will increase to £10. You can pay online, over the phone, or by setting up an AutoPay account. You can still drop off for free in the Long Stay car parks. Blue Badge holders also remain exempt from the charge.
English
@Gatwick_Airport 1.5m BTA member passengers through Gatwick annually. Conservative estimate: UK businesses paid £3.15m in drop-off fees. New charge raises this to £4.5m - a £1.35m increase for nothing extra.

This World Cup draw and football in general is dying on its arse . As often said but totally for real tonight - The games gone. Absolutely circus 🤡 #WorldCup2026

@SimonCalder Simon, you know it’s a rip off! It’s time action was taken to force change.

Airport drop-off fees: rip-off or useful pro-public transport nudge?
London Heathrow will raise its charge to £7 from 1 January (up 40% in four years). London City is bringing in a fee by the end of the year.
Among big airports, the standard fee is now £7.

Total rip off.
Heathrow Airport@HeathrowAirport
From 1 January 2026, the Terminal Drop-Off Charge will increase to £7. We will also be introducing a maximum stay of 10 minutes in the drop-off area. Blue badge holders get a 100% discount and are exempt from the maximum stay limit. Free drop-off options remain available at Park & Ride car parks. Learn more: Heathrow.com/DropOff

@ReadingFC Sad day but inevitable, thank you Noel for giving it your all & for being brave enough to take it on. Also to Rob a genuine heartfelt message, which makes a refreshing change. I am sure Noel is as gutted as we all are it didn’t work out.
