They're all at it!

However much we may deplore it, we're used to the idea that holiday firms put their prices up when the schools are on holiday, but now it seems that airports are catching on to the idea.  Most of the major airports are putting their parking prices up for the summer, starting at Easter.  So not only will you pay more for your holiday, you will pay more for leaving your car while you're away.  The airports say it's all down to supply and demand, which seems to me to simply mean they will charge whatever they think they can get away with.  Mind you, one airport official has said that this is simply the flip-side of lower and lower airfares.  The airports have to run as a business, and "...drop-off charges, fees for baggage trolleys, fast-track security and sometimes eye-watering car park rates are the price you may pay for getting to Spain for £14.99".
