2,2% from October.
What a joke, increase the ticket price by 2% instead.

Priseksempler:
Flyreise til 1000 kroner utløser 22 kroner i gebyr.
Flyreise til 5000 kroner utløser 110 kroner i gebyr.
Flyreise til 10.000 kroner utløser 220 kroner i gebyr.
Flyreise til 20.000 kroner utløser 440 kroner i gebyr.
*For hver flyreise du bestiller kommer et tillegg på 2,2 prosent av kjøpesummen, vel å merke bare når du betaler med kredittkort.

Wow, the blatant lack of business sense is unfathomable. As you say, a flat 2% increase would benefit them across all purchases, regardless of the payment card used.
Seems like cost-cutting has given them tunnel vision.

Brilliant suggestion (even though I don't hold a EB credit card). You should email them and suggest it Originally Posted by Amexpat
DY doesn't charge a credit card fee when you pay with a Bank Norwegian Credit Card. SK should do the same with the Eurobounus Credit cards.

I guess it makes sense for SK to at least give EBS and EBG a free pass on the charges.Originally Posted by Amexpat

So this is not the OPC non sense that AB and LH Group do but just a charge?

Blue1 does a flat fee for credit cards as far as I remember... Choices of airlines that dont charge for CC use are growing smaller... Though all tickets should be booked uding a CC as airlines are dropping left and right...
Now I have a good excuse to burn my EB miles
I do like the suggestion of no fees with EB branded credit cards!!

The fee appears quite steep. OT: AY charges €5 + 1% of the total ticket price when paying with Amex, DC, MC/EC, or VISA. But only from reservations made from Finland ! For everywhere else it is around €5 per ticket irrespective of the cost of ticket.

What can be done to make SK change their mind?
I guess SAS needs to change their marketing message: http://www.flysas.com/en/Travel_info...lways_with_SAS

Some hidden fees
When you buy a ticket with SAS, we expect you to pay hidden and unwanted extras: There are extra fees when you pay by credit card, and we may like to charge you extra for arriving on-time too as we are amongst the most punctual airlines, so this is an easy cash cow for us.
