It really winds me up when i see these charges, i would'nt mind half as much if the airline would actually let us know what we had to pay and not advertise a really cheap price when the actual price is often four times the advertised one. :mad:

These hidden fees drive me nuts (Ryan Air is very good at hiding them). EU Commission now demands that the total amount is to be displayed on the front page, we're lucky in Europe

:-)

I absolutely hate online hidden airline fees. I always try to thoroughly investigate the fees that are charged before getting a ticket. It can be quite frustrating when you have to deal with customer service on top of that. What happened to airlines?

argh.. sometimes i dont wanna see the numbers.
just pay it and go...
