Belfast International Airport seems to having fun with charges.
As well as charging for Trolley’s, Dropping off Passengers, and plastic baggies they are now going to charge… for smoking.
Yes. Smoking outside the terminal. And takes the title for scraping be barrel.
So if you wish to smoke at BFS, you have to head to a special area, where you are asked to put a coin into a machine which opens doors to a special smoking area.
Belfast International bleats that this cover the cost of building this special area, whilst flyers believe this is yet another chance to exploit the passenger.
“We recognised that there was a demand for a smoking facility from some customers, given that all public places (including airports) are now, and have been for a number of years, non-smoking.
“We are responding to that demand.
“However providing a specialist facility for a relatively small number of users is expensive to build and to maintain, so it is not unreasonable that a small charge should be levied for the use of the facility.”
In other words… you want to smoke? Do it in your car at the airport…. or give up…..
