I know that I now pay for my flights with a c/c as at least this gives some financial protection if the airline decides not to bother delivering the goods for whatever reason.


for which Easyjet charge extra :roll: There's no box to tick for "I'll bring the cash to the airport" )

You are quite right, for most airlines who sell tickets over the internet or by phone, there are a variety of charges for card transactions. Currently, I think that the only card which is not surcharged is the Visa Electron Debit Card, which is not widely used.

I'm really not sure if you could arrive at Geneva Airport and offer Swiss Francs at the Easyjet ticket desk. Perhaps you could try it and report on your findings )

different trip. it does highlight what a good deal ski carriage is though, for the weight much cheaper than an excess baggage charge, it's pretty disgraceful that bikes or golf or ski kit will be carried at a good price and mountaineering gear won't be though, a complete scam :evil:

I'm not sure what you mean by bulk? If you try and check in much more than 20kg they charge you per kg, at least EasyJet at Geneva do.
