UK airport drop-off charges: 'Disgraceful' as Glasgow Airport hikes prices ahead of summer - AI ranks airports that charge the most

Customers can now expect to pay £6 to use the travel hubs' drop-off and pick-up point at Glasgow Airport - an increase of 50p. Previously, travellers only had to fork out £5.50 for 15 minutes at the point. However, after 15 minutes had ended, drivers would then be charged an extra £1 per minute.

Now, customers will have to pay £6 for 15 minutes - an increase of 50p. Once 15 minutes have ended, those dropping off or picking up loved ones will still be charged an extra £1 per minute. While the travel hub has hiked up its pick-up and drop-off charges, the costs to use its Short Stay car parks remain almost the same.

However, the cost to use the short-stay car park for 20 minutes has increased by £1 from £7 to £8. The price hike has been slammed on social media.

One user wrote on X: “They are disgraceful.” Another said: “I used to offer to take pals to the airport all the time but not any more. Its ridiculous”. A third said: “It’s daylight robbery. You drive in, the person you’re collecting puts a case in the boot, gets into the car and you leave.”
