Belfast Airport introduces smokers fee !
02.05.11
The plethora of extra charges faced by air passengers has increased. In addition to drop off car park charges, trolley fees, check-in charges, boarding card printing charges, fast track security charges, liquids bag charges and hold luggage charges, passengers wanting a final cigarette before their flight now have to pay a fee at Belfast International Airport, the BBC reports.
Smokers at the airport must pay £1 to smoke a cigarette in a designated area, after the fee was introduced this week. They must put a coin into a machine which opens doors to a special smoking area. It is thought to be the first airport in the UK to introduce such a charge. However, it already costs £1 to drop travellers at the airport, there is another £1 fee for a pack of plastic bags to get through security.
A spokesman for the airport said it was responding to customer demand and the fee was covering the cost of building the smoking area.
