Here’s the good news: Airfares have declined in Canada. The bad news? You might wind up paying more in added fees. WestJet, along with several U.S. airlines, recently hiked its checked-bag charges. And Flair Airlines has a new fee: a charge for paying for your flight with a credit card.

Fuck these cowards for not building THEIR costs into a legitimate selling price. Credit card fees are your expense of being in business, not mine.

Unless you're ready to accept payment by cash or cheques, fuck right off with that noise.

There are credit cards that already charges annual fees, owners of those cards technically get charged twice for the credit card.
Maybe they can raise this as an issue
