You can pay for your booking online with a credit card, charge card or a PayPal account for bookings originating in most countries. Payment must be made in full.
If you are travelling from the UK, you can also pay with a Switch/Maestro, Solo, Visa/Delta debit card issued by a UK bank and billed to a UK address.
There will be no charge for paying with a debit card, but there is charge of
£4.50 per ticket if you use a credit card or PayPal.

Thanks for the clarification. I still feel its unnecersary to seperate a booking into individual tickets/transactions. If you are a family of 5 you are potentially looking at a £22.50 charge for using a credit card over a debit card. For me that is £18 too much and is excessive.
"For example, according to the Office of Fair Trading (OFT), someone spending £100 on a travel ticket could expect to be charged 53 pence extra if using a debit card, or £2.10 if using a credit card."
2 issues for me then. The £4.50 charge may be set too high and the blatant revenue making methodology of splitting all bookings into single financial transactions!
