We stayed at an airport hotel because we had a very early flight. The hotel claims to be .7 miles from the airport, but it is at least 5 miles away. We asked about the shuttle to the airport for the morning, and they explained that the shuttle does not run until 6am, we had a 6:45 flight. So they called us a taxi for the morning, and he charged us 42Euros for a 10 minute drive. He knew he had us in a bind and ripped us off.
All our effort to limit the inconvenience of an early morning flight just wasted our money and made us feel used.
