A couple of days ago we wrote about the fare increase on the part of Ryanair (read ”Ryanair to increase fare prices”) and today we bring you a piece of news on a similar note. This time it concerns the British-based easyJet.
This low-cost carrier has introduced an administration fee of £9 instead of the booking fee. This new fee will be charged on all bookings. Another novelty is that from now on payments made with Visa Electron will not be free of charge anymore. All bookings made with credit cards will cost 2,5% of the total amount. Debit card payments remain free of charge.
