I was once charged a ticket purchasing fee! This was not an online free, it would have been charged no matter how I purchased the ticket

  Easyjet in the UK now have a mandatory £15 'administration fee' for each booking. There's no way around it. It would be less galling if they just called it 'Minimum Fare'. Plus they add a 1% credit card charge!

    The credit card charge I don't mind so much. Budget airlines are understandably concerned about margins, and the 1% they charge is lower than what I understand prevailing credit card handling commissions to be. (Assuming that there is a 1%-free debit card option, of course. If not, then that's just a 1% margin booster in the guise of something else.)

    The credit card charge should disappear in January once the new law on banning credit card charges is in place :)

      It's already against their merchant agreements, I have doubts the ban will do anything.

        Effective Jan 27, 2013, surcharges for credit card transactions became permitted by the Visa and Mastercard merchant agreements.
