Two weeks parking at Manchester Airport - £900

Imagine paying nearly £900 to park your car for two weeks. One poor holidaymaker did just that when he jetted off for a fortnight in the sun.

The Blackpool Gazette reports that Daniel Carr paid £51 upfront to park at Manchester Airport, however, when he returned he discovered that the airport had claimed an extra £842 from his bank account.

Manchester airport told the paper that: "Due to a one-off system error, Mr Carr's car parking charge was calculated incorrectly and consequently we will refund the overcharge.

"We would like to offer him our sincere apologies and as gesture of goodwill we will also waive the original car park charge."
