I've just booked some regional flights with Qantas, compared prices with REX and Qantas came out best, then of course you get to the end and are whacked with charges for using a credit card to pay - $7+ per traveller! How are you supposed to compare the real cost of travel when the airlines are not only allowed to charge these excessive fees but also to hide them until the very end of the transaction. This is downright sneaky and should be illegal. Have heard of Ryan Air and other discount airlines doing this, but Qantas are already charging me top rates... although, that's really beside the point anyway.

All charges should be made clear before I've filled in three pages of forms to make my booking! over 2 years ago via web
