Parking costs aren't good either. I flew to the Isle of Man and back in a day and the parking was more than the flight.

If you need currency and you're stuck at the airport pre-order to get the (half) decent rate and collect airside - the advertised rate there just preys on a lazy captive audience

That's not that expensive OP. 4 pounds 50p each drink. It's cheaper to drink something that doesn't need a mixer.

10 pounds a pint in Dubai airport.

OP's (well, Hilton's now) £18 says the price is the same whether you get a mixer or not.
