They’ve done it again

Laura Staples 1:55pm

Just when you thought they couldn’t charge you for anything else, they’ve gone and done it again. Now airports are set to charge you £1 just to borrow a trolley. I mean, come on! You probably only use it for about half an hour to get your bags (which you pay to put on board) from your car (which you pay to park), to get to the check-in (which you might even have paid extra for just to have your luggage checked by an actual human). What’s next, paying to watch TV on board? No, wait, some airlines already charge you for the earphones to listen to the TV. Is it just me, or is anyone else getting exhausted by all this?
