Mr A-Tis,
You didn't say that though did you? Hence my incredulous reply.
Now, I can understand your comment slightly more - but I can never see why it should be more applicable for families than even a solo business traveller.
Most businesses can defray travel costs against their accounts and tax bills. Families cannot.
Only the most financially pressed business could not meet a £9 fee. In that case, they probably should be walking - not flying.
Shed-on-a-pole,
Stop being such an old Woman. I don't seek approval, or consensus on all subjects.
And I certainly don't seek your approval on a reply to an ambiguous posting by another individual.
I hope you get over the shock of the fee imposition soon.
