The major carriers' offerings
Flights are cheaper than ever, but once you’ve taken the hidden “extras” into consideration, that 99p ticket might not seem such a great deal. Use our handy table to compare the extra charges of the main airlines in the UK. If you know you’re going to want in-flight entertainment, make sure you add these charges on first to get a realistic idea of the true cost of your ticket.
