BMI BABY - Deceptive Ticket Pricing

I thought that airlines had to be honest with the costs when you click on the purchase price, that is what you pay.

I regularly have to self position around Europe to catch up with our aircraft.

Trying to purchase a ticket online, it stated £130.00.

Then they added the following charges
1 Bag - 12.99 (flight bag)
Credit card charge - £6.50
Airport Check in - £7.00
APIS - £5.00
Seat Selection - £8.50

New price - £165.00

I wanted to check in online - it wouldn't let me do it. - So take another £7.00
I don't give a monkies what seat I sit in - why do I have to pay £8.50?
Is it really a government requirement for APIS or API, Easyscum and Ryantheft don't charge for it.

Going to complain to bmibaby however what department in the CAA is responsible for monitoring this?
When I have the CAA regs, I am then going to trading standards. I am sick of being treated like scum by these airlines and then they are thieving at the same time.

Aviation really is the pits these days.
