Hidden airline charges 'unfair on passengers'

"Airline passengers in Northern Ireland are paying up to two thirds more in hidden charges when they book a flight, the Consumer Council has warned. The Council last night welcomed a pledge by the Office of Fair Trade to carry out a market study on how airline goods and services are advertised. It comes after the Council submitted a report to the OFT on how passengers face extra charges on top of the advertised fare, ranging from £33.47 (40%) to £56.78 (67%) depending on the airline."
