Beware of the great airport taxi scam at LBA.
For a taxi to drop you off it costs £2 extra to enter the airport car park even if it is for 10 seconds, so you'll probably be dropped off 200m from the terminal on the access road. As LBA is the highest airport in the UK (650ft) the weather is often inclement.
When you land you can look forward to the Arrow cabs monopoly. They bought the single licence to operate directly from the airport car park. So to repay the huge fee they paid for this exclusive licence their fares are very expensive. You could of course phone a local private hire company but they will have to pay the £2 extra to pick you up and if you're not local you won't know any local taxi companies anyway.
LBA is a joke of an airport. I'd avoid it if at all possible. Rant over.
Just pay the robbing gits the £40 car park fee, it'll be easier.
PS have a great holiday
