Shock, horror ! MPs get a clue ?

http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/uk_politics/6916739.stm

There was an earlier post over on the Travel Security forum, but I don't know how many people read that regularly.

Realistically, I don't know how much power/influence Commons Select Committees have, but they do seem to have picked up on many of the major gripes. From the list towards the end of the article:

The committee made a series of other recommendations, including:

* Airlines should always advertise additional fees, taxes and charges up front

* There should be a government review of telephone charges for ticket bookings

* Airport operator BAA should cease to be run as a monopoly

* There should be a review of airport car parking charges

* More robust systems are needed to stop the loss and mishandling of baggage.
