Speaking about Europe. Wizzair virtually disabled search and reservations over the web with their paranoid "anti-robot" algorithms, and at some point they had this mysterious "service fee" appearing randomly but discriminating web browser. At Ryanair the reservation workflow is basically one massive dark pattern and upselling designed to make you fell bad. Then there is fucking booking.com, this site opens randomly and unpredictably at various moments while clicking through the search and reservation workflows.
- shortcake27 3y agoI disagree about Ryanair. Yeah, they try and upsell you like crazy, but there aren’t any tricks. They warn you to buy bags in advance because they will charge more at a later date - that’s not a trick, that’s how they subsidise the ticket price for people who plan ahead. And it’s not as if they advertise the price at £12 then it triples at checkout. Maybe there’s a CC processing fee and that’s it? Also if you come back to the site later, the price is the same unless those seats have been sold which they very clearly communicate at the very first step (x seats left at this price).
