The proposed 'one flight, one price' ruling is being considered but European Commission vice-president and transport commissioner Siim Kallas.
Among those calling for more transparency in the industry is Labour euro MP and chairman of the powerful EU transport committee Brian Simpson and consumer champion Which?
Which? filed a super-complaint to the Office of Fair Trading (OFT), due to be reviewed at the end of June, against the surcharges imposed when using a credit card saying that low-cost airlines were among the worst offenders, charging a fee per passenger, per leg of the journey, even though they only have to process one transaction.

But if you don't have a special prepaid MasterCard, Ryanair will charge you £40 to process your card payment, nearly doubling the price. That is before charges for check-in baggage and checking-in in person are added too.
