Post by: stuart on November 03, 2009, 09:14:58 AM: scunner is right its one transaction and gb scoundrels indeed
i was charged 3 times for it
as far as i could see there was no mention of credit card costs before i pressed the book it button
i used a visa debit card as they have no costs to process and usually exempt from charges
if i had known i would have used visa credit card that would have cost them 3percent i think and given me a lot more protection
anyway not a lot you can do about it except moan and warn other people
good job am not traveling with and booked for a big family or football team

Post by: ColinT on November 03, 2009, 10:01:49 AM: I have a Visa Electron card which I use when booking with Ryanair, and they don't charge for that one. I don't think that will help me when they start charging to use the loo though!

Problem is they are getting too big and will fly more people into the UK than BA this winter. As more and more airlines go under he knows that he will be able to charge what he wants.
