10 August 2007 Abta backs OFT on air ticket pricing
The Association of British Travel Agents (Abta) has welcomed this week's announcement by the Office of Fair Trading (OFT) regarding headline prices for airline tickets.
Earlier this year, the OFT ruled that airlines should include all non-optional fixed charges in the advertised price quoted to holidaymakers when booking their flight online.
Following action by the body, only two airlines - Ryanair and Aer Lingus - are yet to change their online booking procedure to accord with its previous ruling to prevent misleading prices for consumers, with these firms pledging to alter their sites shortly.
Mark Tanzer, chief executive of Abta, said: "I am very pleased to see that the OFT has taken appropriate action against airlines who were continuing to mislead the travelling public."
He added that consumers will now be able to fairly and accurately compare the cost of holidays when shopping around for the best deal.
In January 2007, Sainsbury's Bank advised holidaymakers that it is as important to shop around for single trip or annual travel insurance as it is to look for the right flights and accommodation, with money to be saved on travel agent prices for cover.
