Airport Plane Parking ???
What are the factors that depend on airlines getting charged for "parking" at certain international airport ???
Which would be the most expensive airport to have any airlines flight parked ???
How much the BAA be charging to airlines like "American Airlines", "Indian Airlines", "Air Canada", etc. for having their planed parked in Heathrow (owned by BAA) ???
Does the charge vary for country to country or would be depend on how often the flight lands in their airport (i.e. once in a week, 2 times a week, etc.) or would it get charged based on the number of hours it get parked at certain airport ???
Along with parking charges, how does/much an airline get charged towards having its plane cleaned, petrol fill-up, baggage handling charge, etc. by the authority of the airport they park their plane in ???
How about the domestic flights parking charge ???
This is quite complex.
Aircraft must pay a landing fee, as well as parking. The amount depends upon a number of factors including the weight of the aircraft. There is also a charge per passenger for various items.
Other aircraft-handling issues are paid with the provider concerned - eg fuel, catering, cleaning, toilet servicing etc etc
The cost of landing and parking a 747 at a major airport runs into thousands of pounds.
Take a look at this: (Leeds/Bradford is a relatively small and cheap airport, and to gov you some idea, a 737 weighs around 65 tonnes - a 747 up to 400)

What is the best way to get from Gatwick Airport to Hyde Park by public transport? Please help!! :)?
depends which part of Hyde Park … if it’s along the north side of the park (for instance Queensway, Lancaster Gate) then the other answers are good
if it’s along the southern side of the park (for instance Hyde Park Corner, Knightsbridge) then you would be better using the underground direct from Heathrow … see the underground map at

Where do i pick up someone arriving at Heathrow from USA?
My girlfriend is finally (wooooo) moving over here to the UK with me.
She’s arriving on a Northwest Airlines service from Detroit, where is the best place to pick her up from in my car.
Is there a specific parking zone for this situation?
Yes, there are different car parks for all the separate terminals at Heathrow, also two different types of car parks, long stay & short stay(different prices).
Best bet, is to ask your g/f for the flight number of her flight, find out at which terminal that flight comes into, using the flight number, and then find out where the right car park is for the terminal.
Hope this helps!
I was near Heathrow the other day early in the morning around 6 am and i saw something strange.?
I was watching some aircraft takeoff a few miles away from Heathrow and the aircraft retracted their landing gears and extended them again and continued with the extended gear for a few minutes and then they were out of site and i could not see if the gear was up yet.
Were they doing tests to make sure the gears were functioning because they had been parked over night?
just like you said, they were probably making sure the landing gear was working alright.
im flying off in a few weeks, where is the good/cheap place to park my car near heathrow?

Dream on.
Your best idea is to check out where you can find a security covered park and ride near to a rail link to the airport.
If you say where you are to start with. Other suggestions could be made.
