For 12 days in April :-

T1,2,3 £162.10
T4 £134.60
T5 £264.10

How can BAA justify almost double the price from T4 to T5? I presume the cars all end up in the same car park, so where does the extra 130 quid go?

Nobody flies out of T4 these days so they need to cut prices to get any business.

T5 is obviously doing nicely! :-)

However I think they are all seperate franchises just marketed by BAA. T5 is NCP.
