Airline add ons such as seat selection and cabin bag fees could soon be cracked down on following a government consultation.
The UK Government could soon crackdown on airline 'hidden fees' in a bid to improve transparency for travellers.
The government stated that this issue impacts a range of products and services from ticket fares to food deliveries. Around three quarters of transport providers - such as air and rail companies - use this fee method, the research found. "From the shelves of supermarkets to digital trolleys, modern-day shopping provides a great wealth of choice. But fake reviews and hidden fees can make those choices increasingly confusing and leaves customers unsure about what product is right for them."
These "ancillary" services are now a major part of many airline business models, generating as much as £81billion globally in 2022. "The public consultation is hugely welcome and is bound to shine the light on just how tough some companies have been about enforcing their rules."
