And about time as well...
And about time as well...
Travel companies have been ordered to end the use of hidden surcharges for passengers paying by card.
Airline, ferry and rail passengers typically have to click through four to six pages of an online booking before the charge is added to the price.
Now the Office of Fair Trading (OFT) has ordered them to make all debit or credit card charges clear immediately.
It also wants the law changed to abolish altogether charges for using debit cards.
“That old law about 'an eye for an eye' leaves everybody blind. The time is always right to do the right thing.”
