Gatwick has gone full Luton airport then...

In a way it does make sense. So many people use the 'departures' level to collect people and keep driving round. And the cost of stewarding that and police time must have been quite a lot

The white zone is for immediate loading and unloading of passengers only. There is no stopping in the red zone.

No. The white zone is for loading and unloading, and there is no stopping in the red zone.

The red zone has always been for loading and unloading, and there is never stopping in a white zone.

Don't tell me which zone is for stopping and which zone is for loading.

Includes taxis as well, so an immediate extra £10 round trip.

Robbing gits.......I wait until anyone I’m picking up is literally ready to jump in the car before passing through. It’s a fiver for a few seconds.

It funny - I find that whenever I'm there to collect somebody who only has a little bit of hand luggage, I ALWAYS fancy a McDonalds coffee...

All this does is create problems elsewhere. Just because the f*****g morons who run Gatwick see it as an opportunity to raise cash. So - when people start getting into accidents on the slipway of the airport because the taxi has dropped them off short or such like, then we can all sue the premises for unsafe roads and lack of customer care/health and safety etc etc.....

Rolls eyes.

Why won’t you be paying? Do you also do runners from restaurants? Bunk fares on trains?

Given the financial issues facing the aviation industry I expect to see more of this in the future. It’s inevitable.

No I do not - restaurants and train companies provide a product and a service that I'm happy to pay for. When I'm dropping off someone to use Gatwick Airport's service they are not providing me either a product or a service. In fact I'm actually providing THEM a service by getting THEIR customers to THEM.

Providing a drop-off point is clearly providing you with a service. You really are a numpty at times.

Charge the people you are dropping off a fiver then. You aren't out of pocket and they save on a taxi. Sorted.

Drop off a long stay gives 2 hours free, so expect this to be used, until Gatwick start charging for this also.

Hopefully it will free up the airport from carloads of non-mask wearing entitled rabble like the Westdene’s for more sophisticated and civilised world travellers like myself :lolol:
