Farewell longer than 10 minutes? At Heathrow, it could cost you up to £80.

Heathrow Airport is cracking down on those taking too long. Already £5 for drop offs/pickups, the new charge can go up to £80.

£5 for anyone dropping off or picking up?

We just ticketed two separate LHR flights (international) with points and still had to pay over $800 in taxes for each ticket.

In the US at any airport I have visited the police will give you a side eye, speak to you, shove you along and give tickets freely. You have time to unload, give a hug a kiss and get out of the way in a hurry. This has been a safety issue since 9/11, they do not allow any lingering.

That’s if it’s less than 10 minutes. At Heathrow you have to pay up to drop off…

I’m so old I can remember being able to meet or see off passengers at the gate.
