EU Commission Slams Online Travel Pricing
One in three customers who book their flights online are being conned by confusing adverts, according to a new report by the European Commission. A check on hundreds of airline and travel agency websites found “serious” problems such as hidden charges on one in three of the sites monitored. Airlines and travel companies have been accused of adding airport taxes, handling fees and baggage and seating charges on top of prices that first appear. The EU commissioner, Meglena Kuneva gave airlines and tour operators one year to comply with consumer rules or face court action. One company that can’t be accused of misleading customers with our prices is Argus Car Hire. We’ve always displayed all-inclusive prices so that there are no nasty surprises awaiting you at the pick-up desk.
