Yes, but the average UK punter is, I would say, less slavishly addicted to FF schemes and will consider the $25 surcharge when considering which carrier to choose if they are going on a shopping spree. Why fly AA and get stung for a fee when can travel on one of many other carriers for no additional charge.
