Travel firms continue to mislead over prices: consumers’ association

Some 65% of travel companies still present misleading prices to the public, according to the Dutch consumers’ association Consumentenbond.

For example, many travel firms do not mention the compulsory booking fees which can add €10 to €30 to the price of a ticket. The Consumentbond points out ‘you do not pay a scanning fee in the supermarket’.

Travel firms have been required by law to publish complete ticket prices, including add-ons, for several years.
