Jenny Robinson, Senior Policy Officer at the Consumer Council said “If you are planning to book a flight it is important to be aware that some airlines have additional charges for a range of extra services including seat reservations, checked baggage and credit card use.

“Our advice to passengers is to check additional charges before booking your flight and to shop around for the best overall deal. To help passengers, we have listed the additional charges applied to the flights of each airline operating in Northern Ireland in a useful ‘Airline Additional Charges Table’, which is available online at www.consumercouncil.org.uk.”
