I have just booked a return flight with Easyjet and noticed that they have now sneakily introduced a new £9 Admin Fee that is automatically added to the booking. I guess this must be in response to the OFT's recent ruling about card charges? I wonder what the OFT will have to say about this? The £9 admin fee relates to debit cards only. There will be an additional charge for Credit Cards.
From the EasyJet website:
All bookings will incur a £9.00 administration fee. Bookings made by Visa Credit Card, MasterCard, Diners Club, American Express, Carte Bleue (domestic transactions only) and UATP/Airplus will incur an additional fee of 2.5% of the total transaction value, with a minimum charge of £4.95, whichever is greater.
This also means that it will no longer be free using a Visa Electron card.
