I get a feeling you would be correct on that presumption. But what a ridiculous system to implement!

As above. But I see no reason for them to have to split the transaction into 2, thus passing on double charges to the customer!

Luckily I moved to Denmark whilst booking this ticket, so no fee paid. But the fact that hundreds of others have probably paid per person credit card charges really does irk me!
