People should get over it. People claimed that nobody would pay travel agents service fee's---guess what? --they are. There is talk of the airlines trying to pass the merchant fee back onto travel agents and KLM charges everyone in Holland 20-25 Euros to issue a ticket.

Down the road expect to pay more if you use a credit card, it you use a live person in the ticket booking or check in process and if you want to eat food on the flight.

If you think this can't happen over here then take a look at some of the no frill airlines in Europe that charge fee's if you pay be credit cards. People are still paying for their tickets with credit cards.

If you are really upsed about this, call your credit card company and ask them to lower their merchant fee's.
