Budget airline Monarch has raised credit card surcharges for the majority of customers, despite forthcoming new rules designed to stop firms profiteering from such fees.
A record fine imposed on British Airways for colluding with rival Virgin Atlantic to raise fuel surcharges was today cut by more than half to £58.5 million.
The Government is to block firms from using "hidden" credit and debit card surcharges to ramp up the price of flights, concert tickets and other goods.
The Airmiles reward scheme completely shuts on Thursday evening, leaving passengers with just hours to exchange points for free flights. However, there is no guarantee your chosen flight will be available.
