This will come as no surprise, given the FR are looking for ways to increase profits this year.
As of 0600 this morning FR are charging a new handling fee for customers purchasing fares on the internet with a credit card.
The charge is £1.75 per person per sector.
So family of 4 flying STN CIA return will have to pay a stonking £14.00 credit card fee.
Granted, if their airfare is low enough, the overall price is still low, but considering that yesterday the same booking would have only incurred a £3 credit card fee this increase is beyond all explanation.
Gits.
