BA charge e20 (£14 +/-) for a telephone booking which is explained over the phone whilst hanging on waiting to be connected , further they explain that booking via internet - ba.com - doesn't have this charge . Fine but living in the Netherlands and wanting to fly from Dusseldorf 45 mins away ( Amsterdam is 2hrs 30mins away)and having a Dutch issued credit card I cannot book via internet . OK they waive the booking fee BUT the fare is e10 higher , probably because of Dutch taxes!!! So much for a European.....no.....world airline!!!!!
