This is the discussion thread for the following MSE News Story:

"Budget airlines could face court action if they continually flout European Union (EU) rules to trap passengers into paying unnecessary booking fees.

The Civil Aviation Authority (CAA) today confirmed airlines that break the law will face punishment, including a possible court enforcement order, if they fail to make required changes ..."

  • We are travelling to Rotterdam with Transavia, KLM's budget airline and the fares are 2 Euros each way, so 8 Euros in total for both of us. However the total bill is 186 Euros which, they claim is taxes and fees. Other airlines flying out of Luton do not charge these colossal fees, so how can Transavia justify this?

    Unfortunately they have a monopoly as the only airline to fly this route so I do not have the choice of flying with another airline.
