Episode Details

Manchester Airport’s boss, Chris Woodroofe, defends sky-high parking fees—up to $150 for two weeks—by comparing them to a single day in a city center. He argues the airport competes with ride-shares, taxis, and private lots, forcing competitive pricing. Critics push back, noting most people don’t park for two weeks, making the comparison misleading. Woodroofe insists parking revenue funds airport improvements, including a new multi-story garage—but says prices won’t drop. Ironically, his five-minute drop-off fee is the UK’s cheapest at $5.50, offering a small win for travelers rushing through.
