Cheap flights: How to avoid being caught out by hidden fees
Cheap flights continue to reduce in cost as airlines lower prices for passengers.
With tickets as cheap as £4.99 from the UK, travelling abroad has never been so affordable.
To keep up profits airlines are instead charging for other aspects of a flight such as luggage, seat reservations and meals, which can quickly increase the cost of a plane ticket.
Also known as ‘ancillary fees’, the revenue airlines have received from these has increased from £1.6 billion in 2007 to £21.1 billion in 2016.
