Vancouver airport YVR is fantastic. It has a magical calming feel. They used to charge $15 to every passenger before they went through security as an airport improvement fee. I can't believe that now that renovations are done they no longer collect the fee, but it is true.
User pays.
And as an added bonus you can take a train right to downtown in 22 minutes
- dingaling 10y ago> User pays The users of airports are the airlines, not passengers. Airports that charge "improvement fees" are double-dipping; they already charge a per-passenger fee as part of the aircraft handling fees.
- snowwindwaves 10y agoThose fees should just be high enough to cover operation and maintenance though, not a 10 year renovation
