On a serious note, why should Gianni Infantino get away with this?

Sydney Airport has a private company run train station which means there is an approximate $20 surcharge to get public transport to and from airport. How ridiculous as for 2 people might as well get an Uber or taxi and pump fumes into the air (unless electric cab available)….
