<\/a> \n<\/strong><\/p>\nIt has been possible in the past to claim a free refund if the price of your ticket drops from the time that you purchase it. However, now airlines are getting wise to this and charging a fee for claiming your price drop refund.<\/p>\n
Now you have to make sure the size of your refund is worth paying the fee to claim it.<\/p>\n
8. Child on lap fees<\/strong><\/p>\n \n<\/strong><\/p>\nTraditionally parents who\u2019ve carried young children on their knees unrestrained have been able to do so for free.<\/p>\n
While the National Air Safety Board investigate if this can continue from a safety standpoint, airlines are making the most of it by charging an extra fee for having a child on your lap.<\/p>\n
9. Fair lock-in fee<\/strong><\/p>\n \n<\/strong><\/p>\nYou\u2019re looking for flights and you suddenly see a great price. Do you experience the dilemma of whether you should go for it there and then, or wait to see if you can find a better price closer to the time?<\/p>\n
Now airlines are starting to let you hold a ticket price, for a small fee, in case you\u2019re not ready to purchase the ticket but want to lock in that original price.<\/p>\n
10. Pay to pee fee<\/strong><\/p>\n \n<\/strong><\/p>\nPerhaps the most controversial of fees ever mentioned has been Ryanair\u2019s pay to pee fee. Need to spend a penny on the plane, while you\u2019ll literally have to spend a penny to do so.<\/p>\n
In reality this fee has not yet been implemented, and was perhaps just a publicity stun from Ryanair, but then stranger things have happened\u2026<\/p>\n
