Under an EU Directive, surcharges for paying via Credit or Debit card are to be banned in the UK from January next year.
Many Airlines and Ferry Companies have been amongst the worst offenders at the very sly "add-a-card-payment-surcharge-right-at-the-end-of-the-booking-process" scam.
Even if those who currently hide them instead add a little to the public up-front price from then on, at least it'll enable more transparent price comparisons between competitors.
