No love from the airports. New “kiss and drop” fees popping up around the world.
An airport in England has started charging airline passengers to "kiss and drop" zone outside its main terminal. All drivers, including taxis, will have to fork out STG1 ($A2.07) for spending up to 10 minutes in the drop-off zone at Luton Airport, north of London.
A trip back to America. Three reasons why I don’t miss it.
Fifteen minutes into my drive from the Los Angeles airport, I remembered why I was always frustrated on Southern California highways. Fifteen minutes into a shopping experience at a local mall in San Diego, I remembered why an economy of scale has its positives and negatives. Fifteen minutes after I left, I remembered that I'm 7,000 miles away from my closest friends and family.
