Was just about to hit the "pay now" button on flybe when I noticed the 2 flights I was happy to pay £129 for then shot up to £149 because I was gonna use a credit card. So I just stopped the transaction then noticed it was still £129 if I had used a Visa electron..!

    Right next to the payment method box on the payment screen theres a box on the right that says "card options" and it tells you 3 types of cards and how much the flight would be on each card, unsure how you could miss that. Ive just done an example purchase and the cost for a cc is £13, deibt card is £11 and visa electron is free.
  • Credit Card Charges for anyone is purely commission. I used to work for British Airways and any Credit Card Charge they impose is just absolute profit.
    Don't be fooled by it! Pay with a debit card, or a no fee charging card type, although this isn't always easy.
