Airport parking. I got stung $24 for just over an hour at the short stay.

2.01 days at the long stay - $69.

When I go and pick up my husband from airport I am usually only there about 15-30 minutes and I have to pay usually about $9. Drives me nuts!!!

When I would pick someone up or take someone to the airport I would try and use the drop off area at Brisbane airport. The parking nazi would give you about 30 seconds before giving us the hurry up

booking fees on tickets.

We bought some tickets to Cirque du Soleil...they added $5 per seat to send an e-ticket. It's bloody automatic. I am doing all the work and printing it out but they still charge me.
And to add insult to injury, the tickets came through on my credit card as a foreign transaction with accompanying fee.

It's only $300 for an RRV.


Air fairs double the price of the U.K same flights.

That's shocking! Used to be free and then went to $90. That's when I got citizenship as it was then cheaper than that for a passport. ie $90 for 5 years against about $150 for 10 years.
