The average charge a business pays is 30p per credit card transaction, less for the debit card.   As the Yanks say "You do the Math"
All the travel companies have jumped on this loop hole charge what you like to use a card.  Imagine if you asked to use a card in a high street shop and they told us it would be an extra £12.95.  Time the Government stopped this.

Perhaps a link on here to the CAA Complaints dept would be of use. If all forum members plus forum followers complained about all the add on charges ,somthing might be done!!!

Sue I booked with Monarch a few months ago for next year....they are not the cheapest but having been with them the last 3 or 4 times I think they are best all things considered...just more organised than other airlines and  dare I say they usually take off in time....

I can't be doing with the scrum on easy jet flights and as for  the £12.95, well I would not pay it.....its how they make their money up.

He and his family still own 38% of the shares but he's at loggerheads with the current CEO about the direction in which the company is being taken. That's why he's threatening to set up a company to rival easyJet called FastJet.
