APH Highlights Extra Charges at UK Airports

With Belfast Airport now imposing a fee for flyers to smoke in the designated smoking area, Airport Parking and Hotels (APH), the leading UK airport parking specialist, is helping savvy travellers plan ahead this summer to avoid the extra fees that UK airports now charge. APH has compared all UK airports fees including luggage scales, plastic bags and the more recent smoking charge.
