So you believe the publicity? ripago has it right. In any case, even if FR flew with one pilot and an elastic band for power, you wouldn't be compelled to use them.

Then you probably shouldn't book with legacy carriers. In the UK, BA charges £4.50 per ticket for payment by credit card. In many other countries, they charge a booking fee. AF wanted to charge me £4 per ticket for payment by credit card.

I'ts 5 Euro per pax per flight. The online check in fee "Internett-innsjekking" is also the same price.

I just checked and saw that they did have some ridiculously cheap promo fares that waived both these fees as well as taxes.
Thanks. That seems to be market-specific. We don't have an FR admin fee in the UK or Ireland, but the check-in fee is higher. (I hadn't realised that Norway used €.)

Perhaps so, but he attracts far more. Just check the company turnover and passenger statistics.
