With airlines charging for increasingly more extras, such as the inclusion of a hold bag, using a credit card to book, or encouraging you to pay for the privilege of reserving your seat or ensuring you board the plane first, travellers are turning to Club La Costa Travel to make sure they’re getting the very best deal on their travel arrangements.
The estimated income of over £16.2 billion generated among the world’s airlines simply from additional ‘extras’ this year, is a big jump from the approximate £10 billion collected in the same way the previous year. And this cost is expected to quadruple.
Worst offenders are claimed to be Flybe and Ryanair of Europe, and Spirit Air and Tiger Airways of the US and Singapore respectively. Ryanair increased its charges for baggage to £20 in July and August, the peak travel months, which was a rise of 33%, while easyJet is now penalising parents by asking an additional £5 per infant, raising its infant charge to £20 from £15.
News that Ryanair were also intending to charge customers for the use of the lavatory met with an unpleasant reaction from potential passengers who claimed they would refuse to pay for the privilege. And aforementioned Spirit Air began charging passengers for the use of overhead locker space in August 2010.
Rather than spend time scouring each and every airline’s website, working out the different permutations, and negotiating the minefield of extra costs, travellers are turning to Club La Costa Travel to organise it all.
