Go take a tablet!
The BE website shows the FULL cost of selection of a flight on the RHS as soon as you select what you want and complies with the law as required.
The old issue of third party taxes/charges means that it is unfair (unfare)for the airline to be targeted with the full cost of a ticket - these charges should be openly allocated to the recipient.
BA Connect stuck to the old system of just telling you what the total was - they wanted to be seen as completely honest and realised there was no need to separate the charges because the public didn't want to know/ wouldn't be fooled by these antics. They wouldn't book a flight because it was advertised as cheap - they wanted quality.
I have just looked for their website to see what they are doing now but.............. it appears they are not with us any more.
The bottom line is if you want to get on an aeroplane for a return journey to anywhere, you should expect to pay at least £100 return.
Flybe make a profit of about 5-6% of turnover which is not a lot considering their turnover. What it does say though is that what they are charging is about right.
