... or at least insist that a charge claiming to be a "card transaction fee" applies only to the final transaction, not to each element that contributed to the transaction sub-total. Neither Visa nor Mastercard care how that figure was arrived at, so it is misleading of any retailer to claim that a "per passenger per sector" charge is directly related to the cost of processing the transaction.
