Premium (extra cost) services to airports are very much the norm.


Examples? No premiums to the last two European airports I've used.


There's a premium on the metro to Madrid airport, and a premium "Airport
Express" train in Oslo. Stockholm has the Arlanda Express, Rome has the
Leonardo Express and don't forget the Gatwick Express.


Casablanca.

It doesn't look like a premium fare to a Western European being no more than
you would pay for any trip of a similar distance in your capital city, but
it's about the same price as 100km on the rest of the Moroccan network.
