I was under the impression that UK airlines, if not EU airlines now had to show fully inclusive fares from the off on their websites. Have I got this wrong?
I've just tried to book a return flight from Leeds Bradford to Prague with Jet2, initially the cost was £24.99 outbound and £19.99 inbound. On the next screen this jumped to around £80 with taxes and charges, almost twice as much as expected but still not too bad. Then when I continued with the booking and got to the final payment screen another fuel supplement was added taking the total to over £100. Whilst this is still not extortionate why did their website not just give the total cost on the first screen? :=
Unimpressed I then went to the BMIBaby website and booked my flights with them from Manchester. The final price I paid was the price quoted on the first screen. :O
I wasn't exactly looking forward to using Jet2 after experiencing their check in farce at LBA last year and will be steering clear in the future.
