Let’s stop airports ripping us off!

Due to security measures, passengers are not allowed to bring their own water to the plane. The shops however take advantage of this restriction and sell bottled water for up to 3 times more than the normal price!

Airports should be providing free of charge fresh water in water coolers all around the area of the departure gates, and even throughout the terminals.

We pay high taxes on the tickets we buy therefore water, a vital necessity when traveling should be provided to us for free.

Also, airports shops should be instructed by management or government to sell water for the normal price only. They still can make money on other products that are not so vital.

Airports in the UK are charging for drop-off/pick-up, whereas in most of the world it is free for up to 15 minutes. This must stop now! Drop-off and pick-up must be financed from the tax on the ticket and should be free!

Do we pay for dropping someone at shops, restaurants, and theatres on the city streets? Let’s put pressure on airports and governments now!
