Another Rip Off?
Have read today that new luggage trolleys have been introduced at "Manchester Airport" yeh still put a quid in as before, but now the quid is "Non Returnable" meself think its just another way to rip folk off, suppose next they will be charging fer the Toilets.

Re: Another Rip Off?
Anyone who can afford a holiday in the current economic climate can also afford a quid for a trolley.

Re: Another Rip Off?
Used the airport last Friday having returned from holiday. Used a trolly, but got my money back. But did get told that soon the pound would not be returned.

Capitalist? If I lived in one of those authorities I'd be glad that the money from car parks etc was going to fund my local services and reduce my council tax burden. |

Re: Another Rip Off?
It's not just M/C airport and one or two others started it a while ago.
Maybe when you get back put one in the taxi with you and get your quid back when you get home. |

Re: Another Rip Off?
Manchester City Council - 55%
Metropolitan Borough of Bolton - 5% Metropolitan Borough of Bury - 5% Metropolitan Borough of Oldham - 5% Metropolitan Borough of Rochdale - 5% City of Salford - 5% Metropolitan Borough of Stockport - 5% Metropolitan Borough of Tameside - 5% Metropolitan Borough of Trafford - 5% Metropolitan Borough of Wigan - 5% This is the split of ownership of Manchester Airport the company is known as MAG (Manchester airport group)The Manchester Airports Group Plc (MAG) is the country’s largest UK-owned airport operator. Their four airports - Manchester, East Midlands, Bournemouth and Humberside – currently serve a total of over 23.9 million passengers every year.And as you can see it is a plc so i doubt many of the council tax payers of Greater Manchester see much of the money it makes.
