LuganoPirateParticipantI agree Openfly. I’ve always thought this charge to be quite iniquitous the more so if you’re paying an already high fare. Since about the only way to pay is with a cc then it should be in the ticket price and not an extra.
What is crazier, when booking ex Milan, there is no charge, but if I book ex Switzerland where the fares are (much) higher, there is a charge! As our colonial cousins would say “go figure”?

AMcWhirterParticipantIt’s clever PR. Easy for LCCs to increase certain price tiers by a few pounds. Nobody will notice.
Another report says VS has also scrapped the charges.

The same argument could be made with seat costs…. not all pax pay for seats so the price increase would not need to be severe for the seat revenue to maintained, but the PR would be equally clever..

Charles-PParticipantI remember years ago in the UK when I owned some petrol stations as part of a property company I bought, we too used to charge a premium for using a credit card (it was common then to do so) and then legislation was introduced to stop it happening. We just put the price of the fuel up a few pence per gallon and everyone paid the CC costs in the end. No such thing as ‘free’ in business.
