It is certainly true that they are not scrapping anything. I've just priced up a possible trip with Ezy (STN~MUC) and, if anything, I'd say it's worse! Before I give the example, I've not been on Ezy for a couple of years so am not familiar with their recent practise.
First, when you see the 'Final Price' they show you that there is an Admin charge of £9.00. THEN they show you that if you pay by Debit Card there is no more to pay (coz they just added it in the Admin charge) but if you use a Credit Card the cost goes up by £4.95 but I then realised that I had only checked for one seat. I repeated with two seats and all stayed the same EXCEPT that the fee for using a Credit Card increased by 0.44p for doing nothing more.
Fantastic. It just goes to prove that whatever rules govt make, legal ways around them will be found. I find it objectionable to see an 'admin fee' added to every transaction when it should be part of the basic seat cost.
Yes, of course, I understand that they have to make money and I have ALWAYS made my choices based on the last price before the 'Yes' and encouraged others in these forums to do the same. But admin fees are as bad as the theatres that charge you for making a booking - rather than including it in the base seat cost. It is not a stealth charge because you can see it but it sure as hell is not part of the 'headline' cost.
