Extortion I tell you!

Do you guys get pissed off with all these "fees" that all travel seems to suffer these days? My experience is English, personally, but it's getting ridiculous.

I book a plane ticket to Sweden, and a train ticket to Heathrow to catch said plane. During this process I am subsequently charged the following:

Fee to get from London to Heathrow (15 min journey - ~£30)
Fee for handling my request for train tickets (£2)
Fee for sending my train tickets to me (£2)
Fee for taking my payment by card for train tickets (£1)
Fee for handling my plane tickets (£3)
Fee for taxes and fuel levy for plane tickets (£73)
Fee for insurance for plane tickets (£10)

I'm looking forward to booking my hotel..

My advice: get a bike that can fly.

Solves all your problems.

In all seriousness, I agree that travel has become ridiculously expensive, but I have no solutions on the top of my head.

WTB Really Big Ramp and Really Big Motorbike.

And insurance.

yeah, companies are milking us for as much money as they can. Like the Robber Barons of old.
