Anyone who has travelled will know the gutting annoyance that drip pricing causes
‘Most of us can’t go “commando” mode by packing next to nothing for our holidays,’ writes Dave McKenna and his lisp-laden performance as King George VI. It was a triumphant film and one that cemented Firth’s status as a national treasure.on Tuesday, all of that has changed.
. I’m writing this article from Slovakia. When booking my flight here, I revelled at the astonishing cost of it. £11! I didn’t care that it was departing from Luton at some ungodly hour. It didn’t matter. For just over a tenner, who could possibly complain? I didn’t think flights this cheap were possible post-Covid. Sadly, I was right. By the time I’d added some bags and selected a suitable seat, that £11 dream had died, and the price had been basically multiplied by 10.
It’s not just airlines that take off with our money using this so-called drip pricing, though. In the entertainment industry, they might use booking fees. Gyms also use this tactic with signing-up fees, and some hotels do a similar thing. When you book, you think you’re set for a life of luxury only to find out that if you want to use the sauna, pool or even get a towel you had better be ready to get your wallet out. Again.
