Which other businesses are allowed to add costs like this? Why can't BA just price the ticket correctly and fluctuate according to all their costs? Tax remains separate of course, like VAT being itemised.
Prices of just about everything else one buys go up or down according to all the outside things factored in.
Sorry if this topic has been done to death before, but it's simply a way for BA to keep headline prices low. In this respect, they are no better than Ryanair with a headline attraction.
They should fix a new "level" now, with fuel subsidy at ZERO.
