Not true. It appears on page 6 of the app just as payment is requested.

I've just been in again in case I imagined it yesterday.

As soon as you've selected your flight date from the boxes on the left giving the prices on various dates, on the right hand side of the screen there is a total price including the admin fee.

It's not about saving money. It's about prices being transparent and inclusive. The airlines will receive the same aggregate revenue, but travellers will be able to make more informed decisions based on clear prices.

If it`s not about saving money (you must be the only one that doesn`t want to save money on flights) you might as well book with BA, where you`ll get clear concise but EXPENSIVE pricing.

No, this issue is not about saving money at all. The issue is that airlines should include compulsory surcharges in advertised headline fares rather than giving a misleading indication of price.

!!!!!!. It's about being told what the price is upfront so you can shop around, and save money. Include the "admin" fees upfront in the cost before having to enter all the passenger details, choosing your options etc.

Why is this point so hard for some people to comprehend?

In which case I apologise - is the app an easyjet one or a third party app? Guess it hasn't been updated for their new pricing structure?

The same way theatre tickets, national express coaches and all the rest that add a "booking fee" after the initial price.

The issue is about finding the cheapest flight and in every case before you press the buy button you KNOW the price.
It`s because of all this whining by people who can`t seem to work a fare out that everyone has now suffered an "admin fee".
