The use of number plate recognition system and the law to fine miscreants should make life cheaper and easier for tax payer good citizens who follow the law. Parking can be monitored with no wardens. Therefore money is saved and fees can fall.
However we live in rip off Britain which struggles to favour rule followers. The nation is based on trading (being given a service and paying for it by consent).
Dropping off charges are in operation at Heathrow Gatwick and Bristol airports. A flat fee of £5. You pay on line before or within 48 hours or so afterwards or be obliged to pay a hefyy fine.
We are due, to the observation culture being almost forced to pay for no service at all. What was free is now charged at £120 hour /per car. The only added value is a teenger in a bib on minimum wages. The fee is set low to discourage alternative arrangements. The mentality of a fraudster.
The way to avoid the fee apparently is to park at the long stay free for two hours and catch the service bus. With luggage that is a task especially for the elderly. We in south Wales should cherish our airf port not denigrate it. I slipped away to Spain no bother at all.

It's a stark staring fact that Cardiff airport is losing money. Last I saw it was down 6 quid for every passenger that used it.
It doesn't have enough flights to enough places to interest most people. People in North Wales will always use Manchester/Liverpool/Birmingham and others that are easier to get to.
We should not be running a nationalised/subsidised airort that Welsh tax payers prop up by tens of millions every year. |  |

I wouldn't pay a fine, i would offer to pay the charge in full, and if they decline, that's down to them | | | |

Wales needs an airport and its benefits to the economy may cover any accounting losses on its own. £6 subsidy per passenger is gratefully accepted by me. I have used it twice very smoothly this year but would dread going to Heathrow.
Welsh people like a good moan but I regard the airport and a low key nature a big bonus.
Plenty of institutions in England and Scotland are subsidised. I was paying £13 for the 27x bridge in my van but only 32 fr the QE2 bridge in Dartford.
The airport is not in Cardiff. 28 miles form there and 46 miles from Swansea. With all the problems of capacity and costs in England Rhoose might come back into favour and profit. | |

As I stated on here before about Railway parking not one penny of that goes into the actually railway it goes to the relevant poor skint railway company with "no money" and then off to their share holders !

You take a wrong turn into Luton Airport and its a 3 quid charge to get out. Some might say deserved if you can't read road signs properly (me) [Post edited 12 Jul 2022 21:43]

Surely, that's wrong and unenforceable if you don't actually park.It could be seen as extortion. | | | |

The basis understanding of living in the UK is that you are offered a service by a private company and pay for it by consent, Providing an area to drop someone off is not a service and it pre existed free in the past. There are no extra costs or service provided by the vendor. It is extortion. Technology in principle cuts jobs and costs. This cuts costs and add profits for no extra service. | |

Yes, for any contract to be just, there has to be an offer and consideration and an acceptance. This sounds like entrapment | | | |
