That's an interesting point about credit card charges, I've been charged by a small number of airlines for using my card to pay for flights and I wouldn't have any objection to this if I had a choice of another payment method where I wasn't charged, if there isn't any choice then the credit card surchage is another hidden fee which should be included in the advertised price.
With the likes of FR and BA is there still a charge if you use a UK based debit card rather than a credit card ? I'm using a French based card but it's a debit card and not a credit card and FR still make a charge. On my statement FR payments seem to be made in Ireland so I imagine they treat debit card holders the same whether in UK, France or where ever....
Airlines want people to book via the net rather than calling them so it seems a bit rich to levy such a charge....
