some airlines are now charging to take a dump or have a drink of water. i find that unfair.
i find it unfair that the surcharges add up to more that a ticket should, i find it unfair that some airlines now charge for a child under two even it sits on a parents lap. i find it unfair that duty free shops charge more for chocolate and perfume and cigarettes than the high street. duty free just means "more profit for the airports" as for maintaining a profit, the truth is they wish to extend their profit in every and any way they can. some airlines even charge if you take 1 suite case of luggage with you where it used to be free, at the same time you pay a fuel surcharge and if you're on a no fly list you don't get a refund when they say you can't fly. and in the odd case where you do get a refund it cost you more to get it than it would if you just let it slide.
as for vat. if that's so the why do we also get taxed in our wage packets as well? why not just consumption tax?
the tip thing, when used is wrong, often the waiters and cooks see nothing of the money. so i agree if i wish to give a tip for good service it should be my choice.
