About time. Not only are the parking fees excessive at the airport, food and just about everything else is way overpriced as well.

The ACCC has already admitted (even before the enquiry starts!) that they can do nothing about the prices charged regardless of their findings!
Talk about a toothless tiger!! What is the point then of spending the money for the enquiry |

Good on em but I doubt anything will change. What YSSY charges is just highway robbery - it is embarrassing. At least some of the other airports around Australia are at least affordable.

Can passengers still be picked up from the departure level at the international terminal?

>>> Can passengers still be picked up from the departure level at the international terminal?
Not the last time I looked (A security issue they say!!!). More like a plan to stop people avoiding the (expensive) parking. Also, You can't even pick up your (wife/sibling) airport worker from the terminal. You can drop them off (if they look like departing passengers). Also, you can't wait off site, drive in and pick up a waiting arrival in the lower deck road area! Also, try to park in the adjacent streets so you can come in and collect a waiting arrival. SACL is a money grabbing disgrace. All power to the competition enquiry but I suggest NOTHING will come of it! |

To ensure that the ACCC looks like they are doing something, and to justify their existence

In Adelaide the Long Term car park is located next to the old terminal...there is a free shuttlebus to the main Terminal every 15 minutes.
The charges are... 4 days costs $55 7 days costs $70 Which sounds a lot cheaper than elsewhere ( These figures are more like Sydney's daily rates )

I parked at the SYD domestic terminal carpark last week as I was running late (ish) for a DJ flight. I was thinking maybe $40 or $50 - came back 27 hours later and it had cost me $92!!!
Faaaarrrrk! I'm almost embarrassed to claim it from work...well, almost!
