Total British Airways fees and surcharges EUR84.00

Total taxes, fees and surcharges per person EUR147.31

Their quoted base fare is €148, add on the charges and taxes and the cost doubles.

How the heck can they have a base fare that does not include fuel?:lol::lol:

(This is return London/ Ibiza btw)
 
I flew with BA home from Ibiza and booked via ebookers and it wasn't that expensive compared to other flights...still beats ryan airs stupid fairs and extras!

Agreed, we flew BA to Ibiza in September, way better service than the Ryanair mob and not much difference in price everything considered.
 
I work in business travel and a lot of the airlines have the fuel surcharge as an extra tax. Some include it in the fare but believe me it's always in there somewhere with every single airline.

After Ryan air were the biggest nobs ever to me when I originally tried to fly back I purposely flew back with BA even though it meant a 6 hour delay in Gatwick before a connecting flight to Manchester...Hell of a long journey home but even the little things like polite staff made such a huge difference...in future when any other option presents itself I wont fly with Ryan Air.
 
US airlines have to include all these fees & charges in the quoted price now. I hope the practice spreads worldwide!!

Imagine if every item you bought in the store had transport, labor, electricity, VAT, etc. added on when you got to the cashier. There'd be a riot!
 
I flew back with Ryanair in September. Don't really like them but they were the only option I could find to get me back on the Tuesday. It was absolutely fine though as I more or less passed out the second I got in the seat and then woke up once we landed back in Liverpool so I could have been flying with anyone
