sky high

This weekend I was booking some flights for a conference I'm going too at the end of the month. Surfing the prices, not too bad, almost reasonable! So, I start the process of booking the tickets and when I get to the point I am actually paying for the tickets I realise it’s a heck of a lot higher than I expected!

It seems flight companies have started introducing, what I am going to call, a sneak tax. For example: my flight with easy jet from Basel to London S. should have cost £66.53 including air tax. Since I wanted to book using credit card we can nicely push that up to £71.48!!!

Ryan Air was worse though, on the reasonable fights to and from Cork an additional £10… that’s right, £10 was added for the pleasure of taking 1 bag in the hold! In case you missed that it was TEN BRITISH POUNDS!! Then to top it off approximately £5 extra was again added because I was paying by credit card.

Another reason not to fly.
