Airline tickets to be transparent in EU
30th October, 2008

Rules designed to stop airlines from advertising deceptively cheap tickets will come into force Friday across the European Union.

Jointly approved by the EU's 27 member-states and by the European Parliament, the rules require airlines to include all taxes and charges in their published ticket prices.

Officials in Brussels want to see an end to advertisements promising cheap tickets, with extra charges hidden behind an asterisk.

They also want to ensure that the full cost of a ticket is immediately visible to the customer during the booking process.

It's a good thing that the price advertise will be the full price tax include.
