Now, maybe I'm being a bit stupid, however...

Didn't MOL criticize the likes of BA and Qantas regarding fuel supplements, that fuel prices had come down, yet the dinosaur carriers stilled charged their passengers extortionate fees, that they were simply ripping off their customers, that prices paid should reflect what they are allegedly for, ie, the fuel being used.

So how can MOL be so blatantly hypocritical??? From what it seems Visa charge something in the region of 3 per cent per transaction, FR charge a fixed amount per passenger journey!!!! Printing off a boarding card at home, free you would think, no FR will charge you £5!!!! These are two examples, I'm sure there are many many others.

Headline fares may be low, overall cost in certain circumstances may be competitive, but why these rediculous charges, and even with these charges, why be so so hypocritical??? Be open and honest, we rip you off on card fees (unless you pay by electron) to subsidise your flight, we rip you off on check-in, to subsidise the "low-fare".
