The Super complaint launched by Which will if upheld have a massive impact on all budget airlines, for those that haven't seen the press basically Which are saying that charging Credit and debit card fee's per person per sector is plain wrong and does not reflect the airlines cost of proccesing credit card.
MOL second in charge ( MOL wannabe) defended the charge saying that it also reflected the costs of the website search engine and IT support!! What utter bollocks that's like paying for clothes at Marks and Spencer and getting hit for a credit card charge or each item to pay for the shop window FFS!!
In some strange Irish logic they would sell the shirt for £1:99 but you'd still end up paying £22:00
At long last consumer protection is catching up with the budget airlines and not before time, I have posted on Ryanair thread because by and large they are the worse and the others tend to follow where Ryanair tread, it is now a requirement to show the ticket price including taxes and airport charges at the first point of sale. No doubt the usual suspect will be on in minutes supporting FR action and pointing out that things are free with Electron, that will be the next investigation or part of the CC issue, the issue here is what's in it for FR?
If you manage to persuade a million people to put £200 on an Electron card that pays no interest you have £200 million on which you pay no interest, that would by a few boeings, not that there is any link of course.
